Rick Owens S/S 2010 Sneaker


These Rick Owens sneakers are a part of the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. The sneaker features side flaps with no laces. Designer Rick Owens is always pushing the envelope season after season, and with these futuristic sneakers he has pushed it to new heights. I'm a huge sneaker-head but I'm on the fence with these, I'd have to see them in person.

Still Life Photos by Therese Aldgard

I came across these still life photos taken by Swedish photographer Therese Aldgard. The way the photos were taken had me in complete awe, I love all the vivid colors that are used. But enough talk I'll allow the photographs to speak for themselves.

Chanel S/S 2010 Denim Sneaker

These Chanel denim sneakers are new for their Spring/Summer 2010 collection. They feature quilted denim on the sides and a calf cap toe and heel. I love the shape of the shoe and how simple it looks, the quilted denim is just an added bonus to an already impressive sneaker.

H&M The Garden Collection 2010

On March 25th H&M will launch its Garden Collection made for the first time out of 100% sustainable materials. The line will be made from organic cottons, organic linens, and recycled polyester made from PET-bottles and tencel. The Garden Collection will feature floral looks inspired by chlorophyll-green gardens, sun-drenched landscapes, and 70s hippie chic flower power. I love the prints and different patterns that this collection features, I feel that H&M has done well as of late with its collections starting with the "Blues Collection". Some of my favorites from this collection have to be the red rose dress and jacket, as well as the garden inspired utility jacket in beige. What you have to love most about H&M is the prices and with this collection it's no different, you could purchase an entire outfit for less then $50......Crazy!!!

Balmain S/S 2010

Balmain S/S 2010 pieces have arrived at one of my favorite stores in Boston and one of the only stores in the country that carry Balmain. The Riccardi's store carries both the men's and women's Balmain collection The tweed jackets with multiple zippers are stunning and the military style shirt has become Balmain's niche.

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre

This spring Chanel will launch their new, more delicate scent called Chance Eau Tendre. Ladies grab this new and improved scent while supplies last.

Band of Outsiders Fall 2010

I love the vibe of this line designed by Scott Sternberg for Fall 2010. All the props in the background fit well with the pieces in the collection creating a camper chic vibe.

Louis Vuitton S/S 2010 Backpacks

Louis Vuitton has recently come out with it's new Spring/Summer 2010 Backpack Collection. When I first saw the bags I was pleased to see that the bags weren't covered in monograms. I was also happy to see that their backpacks are actually a good size as oppose to their little knapsacks. I like the bag a lot and especially like the little details like the straps at the bottom of the bag made for holding a blanket or anything that can be rolled up. The bags come in many different types of leather and one version has premium ostrich.

RETRO SUPER FUTURE!!!

The New Classic Flat Tops have been completely covered in leather and were hand crafted in Italy. Not sure which one of these I'm in favor of more...hmmm
The Francis Flat Tops are new to the collection of the Super sunglasses. They feature a sharp black acetate and shiny gold legs.

Balmain Homme S/S 2010 Collection

In case you've been living under a rock for the last year.....Balmain has become the front runner in fashion for the last couple seasons. Designer Christophe Decarnin has turned his women's collection into the most sought after pieces, celebrities to socialites can all be seen wearing his designs. Decarnin has recently released his men's line two seasons ago which is just as impressive as his women's collection. For his Spring/Summer collection Decarnin continues to amaze, sticking with what he does best by creating a collection with a masculine rock feel to it. From the ripped up T's to the aged distressed leather jackets it all screams rocker chic.
