Since a lot of you have given up your fashion mag subscriptions, I believe it is my duty to inform you that while they still suck for the most part, some of the ad images still kick ass. Case in point, these boots by Gucci:

^^Pretty much perfect in every way.

I don’t know what it is about the Gucc, but lately I’ve been feeling that trademark red and green stripe. I mentioned a while ago that I was on the hunt for a Gucci belt featuring that stripe (think I’m gonna have to make a trip to Chinatown to fulfill that craving) and I’m waiting for delivery of a vintage suede Gucci bag with the same logo. I’ll bet you go through those inexplicable fashion longings sometimes, too, don’t you?

What’s up, everyone??

Here we have a peak at the images the comme des garcons for H&M,courtesy  Fashionista.

From what I see the line is true to The CDG aesthetic, still toned down  but definitely authentic ..I applaud the consistency…polka dots I might actually wear…although styling can kick things up a noctch..I’ll wait to actually see and feel the pieces…

Just had a chat with Darin Hager, designer for the up-and-coming Heyday footwear line. We were talking ’cause Darin wanted to let me know that his Spring 2009 line will include some designs that the ladies are gonna love. The brand is very new on the scene, but prior to the launch, Darin was designing for heavyweights like Puma and Sperry Topsider for a minute, and you don’t have to look close to see his experience reflected in his designs. In other words, this is not a Air Force One knock-off situation at all.

^^It’s hard to see the detail here, but Heyday’s signature is a triple stitch  that sets off a very cool frayed leather border as the shoe gets worn. You can buy ‘em at a bunch of boutiques, including the awesome Bodega (tho cheez, is that film loop on their site creepy or what??) and online at Karmaloop

This morning I let my partner, Samia, in on the fact that for quite some time now I’ve been coveting this over-sized leather clutch that she’s been sporting since she bought it for basically nothing at some vintage store. I also let her know that I was closing in on a similar one by Entienne Aigner on Etsy. I’m not sure what’s up with that brand these days, but way back in its heyday, its signature was its high-quality, red/brown leather bags and shoes like the one featured here.

^^Simply good. Currently for sale on Etsy along with a whle bunch of other cool leather bags through seller AllenCompanyInc.
