I was making my nightly internet rounds before bed tonight... and I REALLY should get to sleep because I have a VERY LONG DAY tomorrow starting with kickboxing at 8am FML. BUT- I came across the most AMAZING stuff ever... don't I always though? Not much more needs to be said except that I definitely need a pair of these. Sabotage Barracuda Sioux Lace
So I posted about a month ago about the two pairs of L.A.M.B shoes I got, both of which I loved. Well when I finally found an occasion to wear them, I try them on and am walking in my room and absolutely cannot stand the horrible sound the giant zipper makes on the back. Gwen put these huge clanky zippers on the back that make the most annoying noise (not to mention the way it feels). I love the designs of her shoes but it wasn't worth what I paid for them so I took them back :( ... don't worry I used the money to buy my kanye west lady gaga tickets ;) MUCH BETTER PURCHASE IF I MIGHT ADD!!!
I have an admission of guilt. I have never owned a pair of boots. I think my reasoning makes me a lot less guilty. I always longed to have a pair of cognac colored boots to wear for fall whether they be flat or heeled... I just wanted boots! But all the boots within my budget were not real leather and just looked cheap. I could never find boots I even liked enough to spend the few hundred bucks on until I came across these... my ultimate, ideal boot that I will be saving up to buy. The Joie Coachella Over-the-Knee boot for $525 at Neiman's or Bergdorf Goodman. I have continually been checking Ebay for a used pair that might be more affordable but I think to come across a pair of these guys in my size on ebay would take more than a miracle! In the meantime I can always keep setting money aside for them!!
what really upset me was going onto one of my favorite blogs (kanyeuniversecity.com) and seeing that ye had posted a few of these THAT I ALREADY HAD SAVED IN MY COMPUTER BEFORE HE POSTED THEM. Anyway, here are all of the cool gadgets I found ... BEFORE YEEZY! LOL
During my hiatus, I would SAVE pictures that I wanted to post on here but I never got a chance to do them so I am grouping the postings into different categories, so here are the shoes - I am in love with all of them!- :)
These are amazing Calvin Klein fall '09 via Jak and Jil
I spent about four hours digging through a luxury consignment store in Walnut Creek California called Labels. I left proudly with a vintage floor length dark teal/turqouise FENDI wool coat, and a vintage crocodile structured handbag. AMAZING. Pictures will come soon...
:) I just couldn't help but share my excitement with the rest of you!
Using the capillary action of ink spreading across paper, Oscar Diaz’s Ink Calendar works by “printing” each day on the page. Using colors associated with the perceived temperature of each month, Diaz aims to address the senses rather than logic. Very different notion of keeping dates.
So I had to read more about this to realize that this glove is actually attached to the clutch! just be sure to not try and shake anyone's hand at a moment's notice
I love these Italian made sunglasses and here is their new Bread & Butter Berlin Edition
Italian eyewear maker Super debuted a new frame for the recent Bread & Butter Berlin tradeshow. The RSF’s key design elements are a straight upper lip, and open bottom. Standard Italian construction and crystal clear lenses by Zeiss make for top notch quality. This brown tortoise shade was specially made for Bread & Butter Berlin. Only 180 pieces were made and have been individually numbered. Now available from Caliroots.
Perhaps not as well-known for its watch engineering as it is its fashion and luggage offerings, the new Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse watch makes a strong case for itself. Inspired by movements originally conceived by Jean-Eugene Robert Houdin back in the 19th century, Louis Vuitton’s appropriation carries on the legacy as the watch features on mobile sapphire discs which create a stunning visual arrangement between the mechanics and the markers around the dial. The watch is also fully customizable to the users preferences including parts of the strap and dial.
This makes me want to get back into Visual Merchandising... things like this are why I almost went to FIDM...
Arguably one of the finest retail establishments in the whole world, DOVER STREET MARKET recently changed things up drastically to reflect the 2009 fall/winter season. With it, a series of new spaces and installations were created. With an obvious focus on COMME des GARCONS, new spaces were also created for brands such as OriginalFake, Visvim, Lanvin, Monocle and Engineered Garments.
