It’s not the best image but hey, we’re not going to NOT post images of the very first Alexander Wang sneakers. And truthfully, we feel like we or someone of our ilk should have been the ones to get these first, but nope, we had to spot them on Elle. Darn Alex, and we heard you had love for the sneaker blogs, too. Que pasa?

Christian Louboutin has linked up once again with Peter Lippman, this time on a series of photographic reenactments of iconic portraits, which feature shoes from the Autumn 2011 colletion. The one we’ve featured here is inspired by the painting ”Magdalene and the Flame,” by Georges de la Tour. We pulled this image from fashion blogger Susie Bubble, whose post includes the orginal painting, plus many more photo reencactments along with her thoughts on the effort so visit her site to get a fuller picture.

Continuing the obsession with crochet, take a look at the newly arrived crochet romper at Freepeople. Lovely and available here.

When you look at the sultry womanly stride of the women on Brazilian runways you wonder what happened to stateside runway coaching because really,  that hardcore stomping we tend to see after season baffles.The Movimento swimwear with themes of colors and paintings makes us want to let out hair down and sway to some Antonio Carlos Jobim tunes, enjoy!

With Alexander Wang’s collections, one finds oneself hunting for the iconic, season-defining item/s. For a while its been the bags, but for resort it just might be the athletically stylish swimsuits, which the label recently announced the launch of, though it could also be the adorable short-sleeved anorak jackets with check details, both of which are featured above.
