Danier keeps stepping it up. They’ve created a more fashion forward lineup of jackets which really surprised and pleased me. I spent many years walking into The Path location wanting to buy a leather jacket and not seeing anything I would wear. Finally with Fall 2009, I filled my wardrobe with some leather staples from Danier. I love my classic black motorcycle jacket and leather leggings.
Fall was very dark and Spring 2010 at Danier is the opposite, full of colour. I’m craving the blue and the yellow leather jackets from Danier. A great addition now that I have the standard black; it’s time to play around a bit.
Fall merchandise is being cleared out of Danier stores right now. Expect to see the Spring 2010 items in the store by the end of the month.

These Maison Martin Margiela booties are the perfect colour of grey. They have just a touch of weird with the folds that make them stand out.

They say these are boots. I’m not sure how to describe them but they seem like a summer shoe to me. I love all the laces and the fact that you have to be committed to lacing them up to own them, similar to Doc Martens. It doesn’t look like there is easy zipper access on these.

This photo by Tommy Ton made me change my mind about the Alexander Wang cat eye sunglasses. They looks so fun.
Alexander Wang created these sunglasses in collaboration with Linda Farrow. Linda has done other collaborations with Raf Simons, Dries Van Noten and The Row to name a few.

Trolling Shrimption Couture is always fun. I have been hearing about Anita Quansah’s jewellery for the last week so I had to check it out. She also shares my name and I’m totally curious.
Rasia by Anita Quansah
 Rasia by Anita Quansah, exclusively for Shrimpton Couture This silver tone multi chain neckpiece features vintage faux pearl mixed with silver and gunmetal chains. An oval metal tone faceted bead and clear facet stone charm have been wrapped around rows of a cascading ring design. Four large purple floral embellishment and 2 silk handmade corsage where then added, all held in place with 2 silver tone pin’s from a vintage kilt!
As you can see Anita’s jewellery is very ornate and large. They are an uber statement piece so you’d need to wear simple silhouettes and neutral colours with these. They look like fun.
Hera by Anita Quansah
 Theda by Anita Quansah, exclusively for Shrimpton Couture Hera is a spectacular creation that features cascading gun metal chains mixed with rhinestones and grey, black & gold faceted beads, all arranged in a mesh design, that drapes loosely like a collar around the neck. Hanging off this beautiful necklace is a stunning, bold, re-worked vintage necklace with wrapped gold tone chains, round, square black and grey faceted beads with gold tone embossed beads and large black oval polished faceted bead. It is surprisingly heavy and a fantastic piece!
All of Anita Quansah’s jewellery is one of a kind. A few pieces have been sold already.

Something is very wrong with me, I like some of the handbag offering from Louis Vuitton this season. I’m usually someone that only likes the Damier Azur canvas. I don’t know, maybe it was the music from the Spring 2010 show or the colours, but some of these bags are looking good.
 Yup, love the garbage bag handbag, just not the price 
Forget about the price for a moment as they are astronomical and just look at the fun design.
I think it’s the colour schemes that gets me. The colours are vibrant and well matched.
