Denim, Something New, Would You Wear It? »
Boyfriend Jeans? That was so 2009. This year, the spotlight’s on Fidelity Denim’s new collection of vintage western and Boyfriend Shirts for Spring 2010. While I admit that the idea of a denim shirt frightened me at first, the button-ups soon won me over with their cool, rugged, laid-back look that any boyfriend-shirt-wearing girl would appreciate. The shirts come in 2 different styles and 7 different washes – my personal faves are the the Louis in Crude, and the Ted in Ombre. Just pair …

Playing in the Sprinkler. I would say that would be enough to say, but really…I can’t name how many ways this makes me absolutely giddy.
Look at it, and look at it again.
Thank you, Threadless.com.

I’m the geekiest geek that ever geeked. But even this is pretty…geekalicious. I’ll stop there with the variations on the word geek. But aren’t these simply the best things you’ve ever laid your eyes on? I’m fairly familiar with custom kicks, but this takes it to a new level. These shoes make you look at them in awe and leave you curious as to how it makes you so happy with one glance.
Brass Monki creates custom sneakers for the geekiest of us. If you’re into online, gaming, or just generally …

I have no idea where this came from and why Bill Gates would ever pose for a shot like this, but I felt like the right thing to do was share it.
It’s exclusive to Urban Outfitters, and what’s better is their description for the shirt:
Charged with three counts of straight runnin’ things.
As a former colleague used to say…”dat’s riiight!”

While its day-to-day functionality may be questionable, its design is pure genius.
Michael Teperson’s Flute Feather clutch, made with naturally-curved dyed rooster feathers and satin, is glamour and drama at its best.
The clutch itself is a standout piece from Teperson’s spring/summer 2009 collection (the rest of the collection is outstanding, nonetheless) and was created as an adapted version of one of Teperson’s signature pieces – the Opera clutch.
The design is creativity that screams (or in this case, crows) for attention; but who wouldn’t be asking for attention carrying this gorgeous bag …

Often imitated, never quite ironic. Check this melty Chanel-alike necklace, I did a double take when I saw it.
The golden descriptor:
Admittedly, Coco Chanel is a good 35 years dead. Just take a look at this dark, melting Chanel monogram necklace. Coco would turn in her grave, if she could see it…or perhaps, like us, she’d just buy one. Unique accessories that merge the appreciation for couture with a contemporary, minimal aesthetic. Using precious metals and jewels contrasted with iconographic objects in acrylic and metal, make a statement with this accessory …

I’ve always been a fan of boombox bag kitsch, I think there’s a novelty in a soft ghetto blaster strung from your shoulder.
I recently rediscovered it again at the Blue Banana Market in Kensington – there was a Parcel bag with built-in-crappy-speakers you can plug into your ipod and shimmy along the streets to.
Check my collection of music-oriented bags that I put together.
The Fake Boom Bag – You know, the kind that doesn’t actually have a function other than to look cool and grab some giggles
The Working Boom Box – …

I don’t have the attitude and/or confidence to ever pull this off…without a perpetual grimace or ridiculous expression on my face. Do you? If so, I want to meet you. Now.
This is the descriptor from Old Navy:
“When it comes to style, just wing it. Bright butterflies adorn soft, lightweight cotton knit.”
And wing it they did! Would you wear it?

This is for a good laugh – Sanuk Sandals (hey, what’s with this blog and seemingly obscure sandals?) was brought to my attention from my comrade Paul. What’s so distinctive about this puppies? Well their landingpage spokesperson is a grade-A hippie and/or green-smoke lover, and several of their offerings resemble burlap sacks (which they refer to as “SideWalk Surfers“). Aside from the overbearingly awkward design, it would come as a surprise that this things actually aren’t cheap, sitting at a price range of $40 (for sandals) to $55+ for the …

White Hot was last year, this year all the celebrities are donning turquoise framed sunglasses. Gwen, Sienna (that’s her right? I can’t even tell), and Paris flaunt these new glasses in various shapes and styles. Is it just me or do these look a little too alien-like for my liking?
Would you wear them?
