HIGHSNOBETTE

The things sneaker companies are designing for the babies these days. Just crazy. Back when my kid was a wee one the ONLY cool baby sneakers were Jordans. Now Boo-Boo can have a collection as good as his Mom or Dad! These Puma First Round Deer hightops are available now on Overkill and they are off they are, in a nutshell, off the hinges.

There are lows of this style after the flip and a super-duper pair of fur-lined Suedes, too

French brand A.P.C. represents to me what is a quintissential French look: classic, well put together and chic if not a a little prim. The brand is now showing fall '09. I don't get how that's even possible, but okay, maybe that's none of my damn beeswax.

^^The fall '09 dress collection. I like the orange one best.

Lots of ClawMoney postings on HighSnobette lately, which couldn't make us happier, as Ms. Money sits easily inside our top ten fave designers list. Here's a look at her snowboarding collabo with K-2. Being a jockella, it's great to see a women's designer doing something action-themed. Now we just need her to hook up with someone on ski jackets!

^^Wicked boots and I love how even though it's sporty, the imagery doesn't shy away from a femmy/glitzy backdrop.

Not sure when, but the line will be sold on K2Snowboards

The harness and the board on the other side...

From Japanese streetwear mag Unbar, we have word X-Girl recently launched an eyewear collection. Cute stuff and the model's manicure is poppin'!

Not sure what the status of X-Girl is in the United States. All you OGs know that Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth originally launched this line in the '90s, but sold it at some point to a Japanese company. Does it still have a store on Lafayette in Manhattan?

The Fila party was pretty much dominated by sneaker dudes, but there were a handful of women there, too. One in particular caught my eye. She's the kind I envy 'cause she's completely pulled together with every detail perfect, from her hair right down to her pedicure.

^^The purple purse is Prada. Can you tell what label her scarf belt is? Click to the right for the close-up.

I always love it when great causes and fashion find a way to cohabitate tatefully with no gimmick!

The Fila X Premium Goods event went down last night at the Manhattan Fila store. Ever since Magic, I've developed a secret crush on Fila, and after last night, I'm no less in love. I just want Fila to do more of the same slick looks for women that it's already doing for men. Here's the Fila/Premium Goods collabo sneaker (sorry Ladies, only in men's sizes) being held by the ever-chilled Clarence, owner of BK-based Premium Goods.

^^When I chatted with Clarence, we heard that he has emminent plans (as in next week!) in the works to open an all-women's boutique called Wndrlnd, next door to Premium Goods!! I have to chat with him to get details on an exact opening date as well as the brands he's gonna stock, but in the meantime....wheeeeeeee!

Many more images after the flip, including me hugging up against the Fila track jacket I was swooning over at Magic.....

Yesterday  we were invited to Expose NY,a designer showcase that was so much fun!I had the opportunity to meet YeoJin,The Designer of Yeojin Bae.Yoejing herself ,based in Australia was very kind , genuine and totally cool!.Her spring line,reflects to me the essence of a true "Femme",she was able to convey sexy,feminine,edgy , romantic and urban all at the same time with an effortless simplicity.

"Femininity does not have to be overly  girly" as Yeojin says and you know we totally agree!The clothes let you be who you are, with as many or as little accessories as you want,I was totally won over! check on the next page to have a glimpse at my favorite looks!

Samia posted about these a while ago. Just now she was saying she's want a pair of these real, real bad:

^^Nike Terminator Hi Supreme now selling @ Purchaze. I cannot lie. They do reside in the City of Slickness.
