We posted the perfect shoe for Spring 2011 by Celine last week, and now Popbee is giving us an expanded view of the collection. As with that shoe, we’re seeing a collection whose theme is artful balance of slick and serene, like the rflective metal heel on the sandal shown here played against the natural tan and thick leather straps on the upper. The bags, many of which play hemp against contrasting leather strips and stud details, convey the same message–laid back but with bite.

Erdem Moralioglu founded the Erdem label in 2005 and made  a name for himself by designing beautiful silk prints and impecable tailoring. For the Autumn 2010 season he worked in collaboration with our beloved Nicholas Kirkwood on a hiking silhouette featuring a tye die silk print and a high heel. Oh so lovely! On the next page a close look at the boots and the collection. Available at Browns.

Vans celebrated  the launch of its collaboration with MadeMe last night at the House of Vans in Brooklyn, with performances by Nina Skye, Maluca and of course the well-awaited Kelis. On the next page a closer look at the fun crowd including Pebbles (above), Ari (red hair)  and many more. Shout out to BPMW for getting us there in style!

Beckham tries to explain getting busy to his eldest, but has to pass off to Posh when he goes into giggle mode (a story which is just a big fat excuse for us to post the adorable image of him with his kids above). –Zimbio

As a 17-year old, Selita Ebanks got permanantly dismissed by Ana Wintour for wearing Timbs and a plaid shirt, in other words, for wearing urban before it was made over as streetwear. –Stylebistro

In support of its “Workwear” collaboration with Pendleton, Levi’s has produced a documentary film called “Bares, Broncs and Bulls in the Navajo Nation,” which will appear on VBS.tv on November 15th.  In the meantime, they’ve released some stills of some of the cute cowboys (how can you not love a man who can handle a lasso?) who will be featured in the film, all coincidentally wearing the “Workwear” collection. See more at HighSnobiety.

From Alexander McQueen, an open-toe “Biker Bootie,” which takes all the elements of a leather jacket and transform them into a super sexy ankle-high boot. The skull zipper pull serves as the icing on the cake. And while women may shy away from the color, there is nothing that turns a man’s head like a pair of red heels. Via Restir.

Nike puts its own stamp on the currently popular duckboot trend with its faux-fur lined ”Lunarstorm” boot, part of its ACG line.

We spotted Layendecker, an LA-based brand at about a year ago at a NY trade show, showing Winter 2010. We didn’t manage to make contact to get images so it was great to see the brand when we made a visit to Deitch p.r.’s showroom yesterday. It stood out then and now for its great design, which is consistent and well-edited throughout. Perfect for the woman who wants a quality item that has pop, but is still chic and eminently wearable, you’ll find it at boutiques and high-end department stores like Barney’s. Two more looks on the next page.

 Neomoda gives us a snapshot  of  Spain-based Ion Fiz  for Autumn/Winter 2010. Very opulent looking, with the consistent use of gold accessories. Reminds  me of  “Dynasty“  from the late eighties. Enjoy!
