I was browsing the Alexander Wang site for a video of the Spring 2009 collection. There were pictures of the collection but no video, so I decided to browse and found the accessories. I had to check out the shoes. I saw the video in February and the shoes looked insane. (The runway music is pretty kick ass in this show)
The title of this post is pretty much link bait, but it’s actually true. These shoes are insane!!!!!

Canadian supplier of Hunter Wellington Boots:
Where I can I buy the Hunter socks for my wellies?
I’ve seen the Hunter socks at Little Burgundy and Getoutside for sure in Toronto. I believe you can order them from the Getoutside site also.
Good luck on the hunt.

Nina Hjorth Shoes
EDIT: HA, HA. I goofed and put the same image up twice. I really, really, really do love that spectator shoe, but I meant to show you this lovely green heel also.
I think my favourite campaign of the season is this Pivovarova and Moss dream. They work so well together. I do find it a little disturbing at how closely they resemble each other in these photos.

I’m enjoying the Naomi vs Linda shots in the new ad campaign for the Spring 2009 DSquared2 collection. Of course, it’s Meisel behind the lens for this one.

Swatch – Live And Let Die (1973)
Swatch is doing watches with a James Bond theme. I love the Live and Let Die watch.
About Baron Samedi
The legendary figure of Baron Samedi is a mischief-maker who both tempts and punishes humans. Dr. Kananga employs a man who claims to be Baron Samedi to instill fear in his minions and to protect his thousands of acres of poppy fields.
Before the holiday break I was send a package that contained the new Lancome Pink Irreverence Spring 2009 collection. I really did squeal when I opened the package, black and pink OMG. This is the first collection with the new make-up Artistic Director, Aaron De Mey.
This collection is cantered on a radical duo of strong colours: pure fuchsia, in homage to the emblematic rose, and sparkling black, inspired by the volcanic sands of Piha Beach in New Zealand, from where Aaron De Mey originates.
“I love opposites and extremes, the clash of colours and texturesâ€, explains Aaron De Mey. “I chose this vibrant fuchsia as a tribute to the Lancôme rose. As for Piha Black, apart from the black-sanded beaches where I grew up, this colour also echoes a multitude of references which have influenced my work: the punk culture of London in the 70s, the smoky eyes of Marlene Dietrich who created her own black by burning a cork …â€

Laque Fever
The fruit of six years of research, the Lancôme Laboratories have developed an exclusive formula for Laque Fever…Laque Fever is a concentrate of pure, vibrant and ultra-shine colour, which offers ultimate lasting hold for 6 hours. Concentrated in colour pigments, the Laque Fever formula smoothes lips and adorns them in pure colour, with perfect coverage. Rich in pearly pigments which vibrantly reflect the light, Laque Fever creates a unique multi-dimensional effect, for never-before-seen shine. Its fluid texture also ensures long-lasting comfort.For an optimal make-up result and glide-on application, Lancôme has designed the Soft Sculpt high-definition applicator which also ensures impeccable lip contour definition…Feminine and delicate, Laque Fever’s fragrance opens with a fresh harmony of bergamot and lychee, carried by voluptuous middle notes of rose, raspberry and apple, rounded off with a luxurious wave of white musk and vanilla
I really do like the Laque Fever and the applicator. My favourite colour alone is Furious in Fuchsia. Pink my Ride is way too frosted pink for me to be wearing alone. The lip colour does stay on for a long time, but it is drying and I would use a gloss for it. The smell as pleasant as the description.

Although not part of its cultural tradition, Japan fully embraces the fun – and commercial spirit – of Christmas. As the festive season draws nearer, Monocle’s house model hits the streets to fill his basket for a toasty night with an equally hot companion.
Monocle’s male editorials are my favourite right now. See previous.
