One of our most beloved, graffiti artist TooFly, just launched her collection of “Freestyle Eco-Block” rings.  Inspired by her paisanos, the wooden rings were crafted in Ecuador and hand panted by TooFly and her lil’ sis, Joanne Marie. This line is an expansion on her “Trinity” finger ring collection, done in collaboration with Goodwood NYC. At at just ten bucks a pop, people, let’s face it, you can’t beat that with a bat!

From what we have seen these past years, the lavish  holiday party is almost extinct in most establishments. Nonetheless, in the event that one comes along, even tough bows and frills usually make me nervous , this Chloe blouse stands out as a piece of apparel art .

Though I’m far from sold on the the whole concept of “toning” shoes, aka, footwear like FitFlops, which supposedly have the power to firm your butt, I gotta hand it to girl-genius Marcia Kilgore (she of Bliss Spa fame). She launched  the FitFlop shoe line two years ago and has only sold 4 or 5 million pairs since then. And whether or not you believe, the truth is her line stands up based on fashion alone. The “Shakoa” boot featured here gets extra points, not just because it’s a collabo with Kilgore’s old pal Ana Sui, but because the design very nicely spices up a classic look via a studded star and a side tassle(!). The boots (also in green and blue) are now available exclusively on Net-A-Porter and ShopIntuition (already sold out in a bunch of sizes in both places).
