Louboutin Barbie

For all you ladies whose inner child still lingers in your heart, this is for you! This Christian Louboutin-Barbie collaboration will blow your mind away! Just look at her uptown sophistication, dressed in green satin with a dash of purple and her accessories. Her amazing tousled hair sure gave it a glamourous touch. Of course, to match up to her glam-azon style, four pairs of shoes (comes with a box, how much of real life can this get?) designed by the veritable shoe designer are included to accompany her (your) mood. Unleash your inner socialite right now! Limited Edition only, will sell out faster than you can say "UH, I can't wear these shoes anyway".

BALMAIN Leather bomber

This season's jackets are extraordinarily reminiscent of military uniforms and jackets. Military lapels and buttons continue to dominate menswear from last season. Military colours like olive green and black are also incorporated. These all reminded me of the time I was serving my National Service in the Air Force. Everyone in smart uniforms - they are a sign of respect, the level of maintenance of the uniform denotes how responsible the personnel is and is a sign of respect to the organisation too. Of course, what we are looking for in a jacket is not how well it follows this season's colours or trends, but how it can be turned into a versatile piece for everyday wear (for years to come too). Therefore, what we are most impressed with is this Balmain Leather Bomber Jacket.

This piece is really useful in keeping up with trends and, depending on how you pair it up with, will always work. Be it Grungy Rocker/Biker, Parisien cool or Indie, the jacket will instantly update your wardrobe season after season. Besides that, it also seems to exude a certain Vintage 1970s laissez faire air around it, thus making it a definite favourite in our list. Go on, indulge yourself in this well-tailored investment piece!

Spring Revival


Snood from H&M; Sunglasses from Carolina Herrera; Bob Marley t-shirt from Thailand; Dr Denim Jeans; A/W 09/10 Balenciaga Mens Travel bag in Grey Camel.

Spring to us is the transformation of old into new and the renewal and growth of Nature. Spring also denotes a more nonchalent attitude towards the dullness that were. In the case of fashion and trends, we can always reuse past season's pret-a-porter to create a fashion forward outfit. Accessories can also produce the same effect! Never hesitate to experiment with them!

In the next few posts, we will introduce a selection of our products for all your S/S needs!
