Mutual Love

I heard about the collocation between old line shoe company Bass and the up-and-coming dress designer Rachel Antonoff many months ago and I was...I was struck! Every pair is just soooo beautiful! Making everything even more fabulous (a near impossible task) the lookbook (shown above) tells the story of an adorable white kitten named Marshmellow who lives in the shoes and his best friend, the ever-cool Tennessee Thomas, who have a lemonade stand that nobody comes to so they have milkshakes and end up getting jobs at the soda shop...it's just so wonderful, ahahah!!!! (sorry those are my happy noises)

I waited for all of those months until I could finally have a pair of my own, until one day while stalking Rachel Antonoff's clothing via polyvore I found out that they were being sold at Free People. I had never actually been to Free People, but many of the girls in my grade shop there, so I had no trouble finding one that was very near my school. I begged my brother to take me after school on Friday (I was just soooo excited), but then they didn't have them at the store!!!! I was crushed, but with the help of "Eye of the Tiger" I was "pumped" again and my dad and I ordered them online. Oh I wish that was where the story ended, but no! The shoes didn't show up! My dad kept calling them (probably because I asked him about them everyday) and every time he called the shipping date got later and later. I was defeated, I was in a glass case of emotion, but then one day as I looked up from my homework I saw the the ever-trusty UPS man throwing down a box and there they were! Oh and they are perfect! (see them above)

Pink Kisses

Aya Takano is seriously one of my favourite artists out there today, I mean her work is just so fabulous and unique! And I have previously mentioned my love of art in/on common objects...so, if you are following my chain of logic, and agree with what I have said, then you too will love Aya Takano's collection for Shu Uemura!

O so sadly, though, most of the items, while wonderful, are quite expensive and a lot of stuff is SOLD OUT (my worst enemy when shopping online) But there are a few items still available wholesale, and also on Ebay.

You Just Knock my Socks Off!

I have mentioned my adoration of socks and particularly Swedish Happy Socks...and now I am going to briefly mention my love of Giles Deacon (particularly his dinosaur bag) in addition to my love of helping to cure AIDS. Because I love all of these things, the (Jesus-like) birth of these Giles Deacon designed happy socks it's like my personal heaven on earth!

They come in a gorgeous box and there is one for everyday of the week, each more fabulous then then the next...and I was lucky enough to get them for Chanukah (which I find very funny because when I give my dad my wish list (which, because I am a greedy grinch, tends to be long and pricey) he always reminds me that when he was growing up he'd get socks for Chanukah!)

That's me wearing my personal favourite pair (the pale green ones with the eyes) in front of the Ron English mural (which I mentioned in my post about Wynwood Walls)

X

Could there be anything more perfect then these Style.com 10th anniversary t-shirts?! The answer is no, this is a dream come true...Some of my favourite designers (Christopher Kane, Prada, Alexander Wang, Lanvin, etc.) selling clothes that are of course fabulous, but also more-then affordable!!!

My personal favourite is actually the Rodarte designed one, which I am wearing in this picture:

Ahh yes...say hi to Iggy in the background

The Art on the Walls

Another wonderful way art is brought to everyday use: these artist edition wallpapers by Curio Wallcoverings. So far they have commissioned four artists: Shepard Fairey, Adama Wallacavage, Shag, and my personal favourite, Camille Rose Garcia (shown above. source)

It Turns out that Slow and Steady Does NOT Win the Race

I was looking forward to this Alexa Chung for Madewell collection FOREVER, but I somehow missed when it first became available! I'm so sorry because two amazing dresses (shown above) are sold-out! BUT, I would more then happily settle for the sketchbook tee (shown top center) or the black velvet shorts (shown bottom center). This collaboration is so creative and has the clear shine of Alexa Chung's unique style!

I have a really bad tendency to miss collaborations...

I missed Christopher Kane for Top Shop

And perhaps worst of all, Rodarte for Target

I'm glad I caught this one before it's too late!

Audrey Kawasaki Pin

Look what came in the mail today!















It's an Audrey Kawsaki brooch!!!















And an awesome mini-print came with it!





















Haring's Heels

These Nicholas Kirkwood shoes with Keith Haring designs really caught my eye! Haring's doodle-like art is applicable to any surface or object and as always, I really love the combination of art and fashion!

Sorry for the crappy pictures; they are clipped from Bazaar, and because there were no pictures online and my scanner is a pain, I had to take a picture of it!

This is actually a little late, but above are some pictures of the fabulous collaboration collection between jewelry designer Tarina Tarantino and Kidrobot...it is all literally wearable art, featuring kidrobot favourites like dunnys and Frank Kozik's labbits, but with Tarina's signature charm.

Another Add on to any Wish List!

Yesterday at Opening Ceremony (perhaps the most wonderful store ever) I chanced on these fabulous Alexander Wang for Linda Farrow sunglasses...they are just in, but be forewarned they might go fast!

My Favourite things combined (Art + Fashion)

Miss Van, an amazing French artist, has teamed up with Anaoana, a fabulous Spanish fashion designer...as you can imagine, the result was pretty spectacular; sweatshirts, scarves, shirts, tights, and everything else featuring Miss Van's signature drawings.

What a Sassy bag!


London street artist Ben Eine, famous for his "alphabet shutters" has brought his signature letters form the street to Anya Hindmarch bags.

Art in Objects Makes the Little Things a Little Brighter

If there is one thing I love it is turning everyday objects into art...which makes these artist-designed beach towels perfect for me! My particular favourite is this Yoshimoto Nara towel, but the Ed Ruscha, Raymond Pettibon, and Kehinde Wiley editions are not to shabby!

Designer Lunches: We love you, but we wonder if you're worth it

I love my Gary Baseman lunchbox, but if you are looking for something a little more stylish there is always this Rodarte x Opening Ceremony lunchbox. It's stylish and adorable, combing fashion and Roald Dahl! That Being said a hand-written note inside the lunchbox, indicates that it should not be used to store food...kind of defeating the purpose :/ Also, I'm surprised that it has already sold out...seeing as it is a lunchbox that can't store food being sold for $200...I suppose now that Rodarte's collaboration with target is over they are back to selling things no normal person could own.

OPI x Alice and Wonderland


It seems like Tim Burton has turned the world Alice crazy...in addition to many other products and books , OPI has released a very cool line of Alice Nail Polish...my favourite being "mad as a hatter" (shown above)

BROKEN LABEL by NAGI NODA & MARK RYDEN


In a cruel twist of fate I saw these amazing Mark Ryden x Nagi Noda broken label dresses in my favorite Japanese fashion magazine a few years ago. Unfortunately I was pretty young and was terrified by the possessed, dead girls...well, of course now when I am absolutely OBSESSED with these dresses they are completely unavailable! But I still am crossing my fingers...

Tarina Tarintino Barbie doll


Long ago I forced myself to give up my doll obsession, but it has resurfaced with one glimpse of the Tarina Tarantino Barbie doll! The doll is perfect with Tarina Tarantino jewelry, Barbie belt, and Tarina's signature bubblegum pink hair!

Disney Couture x Tom Binns


I am not usually one to fall victim to the the charm of expensive jewelery...but I have found myself completely in love with the pieces that Tom Binns has designed for Disney Couture based on my favorite thing of life, Alice and Wonderland.

My particular favorite is the "smashing time" necklace shown above and the "tea party" earrings available at Bloomgindale's
