Highsnobette-B by Aperire

B by Aperire is a truly unique footwear company. With a wide range of styles and colors to choose from in their online store it would be almost impossible not to find at least one pair of shoes that you love. My favorite is above. I like that they have blurred the line between a boot and a pump and the zipper up the front gives them a futuristic feel. If  Judy Jetson were around she’d be rocking these for sure.

Gucci Spring 2009 Men’s Accessories My Picks

gucci 1 Gucci Spring 2009 Mens Accessories My Picks

Although I love high end fashion , I  don’t always understand the fact  that some  features like the style choices for gender remain static. Looking at the Gucci Men’s Spring 09 Men’s accessories catalog, I found many pieces like the bag and the kicks (above)  that really should be unisex.  I don’t know if research has found male specific labels to  make the male consumer more comfortable or if it has to do with the label’s perception of  their female consumer .

Regardless of the intricate implications of fashion , gender and labelling on the next page the cool stuff any woman could rock.

Henrik Vibskov Pillow Jacket

henrik vibskov pillow jkt cover Henrik Vibskov Pillow Jacket

Henrik Vibskov ’s collection  for women is always  fun and wearable, tainted with a certain playfulness. His pieces  have a little something for everyone.

The pillow jacket to me, was an excuse to wear something totally tight underneath like a unitard or a mini, and then the visual of getting caught in the wind with your jacket turning into a balloon is ofr course totally fun. ( I know imma geek) If there are  any color shy folks out there, blinded by the bright blue , the jacket comes in black too!  Available at  the- v- store.

Highsnobette- MAC x Hello Kitty

Mac and Hello Kitty have teamed up and created two new lines for spring. The Hello Kitty Colour collection will feature numerous new shades of lipsticks, false lashes, eye shadows, glitter eyeliner, and lots of other goodies.  The second line, Hello Kitty Kouture will feature Swarovski crystal encrusted reusable packaging. The overall look retains classic Hello Kitty qualities mimicking her sometimes sweet and often mischievous personality. So expect lots of bubble gum pinks that have been kicked up a notch with jet black and super bright turquoise, a look that feels at home both at your niece’s birthday party and stumbling out of a club at four A.M.

John Varvatos Artisan

varvatos1 John Varvatos Artisan

So, I have had a serious label crush on John Varvatos, the label, for a while. The clothes are dark, refined, sometimes edgy but never minimalistic cold or stoic .  A little rock n’ roll, five o’clock shadow cool without trying. John Varvatos fragrances consistently reflect that  same aesthetic with  the introduction of a new scent, Artisan.

“Artisan blends state-of-the-art, abstract notes with classic citrus and herbal tones, for a contemporary twist on the traditional cologne. Each flask is housed in a hand-woven rattan, enabling every bottle to have signature intricacies, making each a one-of-a kind creation.”

Detailed view of the Artisan bottle on the next page.
