If you were one of the lucky Gilt shoppers that got to snatch up a Mulberry for Target bag before the official release date, lucky you! If not, no worries because you’ll have your chance on October 10th at Target stores and target.com. Reader lucy92 just sent over a new pic of a pink leopard print bag belonging to the collection shot from the new issue of Glamour Magazine, I can’t really tell what kind of material it is but looks kinda like PVC to me. I’m not sure how I feel about the bags until I see them in person, faux leather bags can be tricky. You can get a preview of the some of the bags from the collection here. Stay tuned for more pics forthcoming…

OMG, just spotted these super amazing Keith Haring by Nicholas Kirkwood shoes on Style File, so DOPE (*changed my word, people were seriously getting too worked up on ONE word*)! The collection consists of 12 footwear styles slated to release in February 2011. How sick are the designs? Love the first 4 pairs already, especially the peep-toe pumps with the baby heel!! Can’t wait to see the full collection, hopefully the prices will not be too extreme (who am I kidding?).
On a side note, Nicholas Kirkwood will be launching a 8-day pop-up shop online featuring his collaborations for pre-sale with Rodarte, Erdem and Peter Pilotto will be available for pre-sale. Oh boy, gotta start saving up!

The talk of town or shall I saw blogosphere and Twitter is all about who the next H&M designer collaboration is! We all want to know who!!

When I was in Hong Kong in June/July I noticed a lot of girls wearing Converse-esque platform sneakers, they seem to be really popular there. I like them myself too, these are perfect because there’s a hidden platform that gives an extra boost and they’re really comfy because of the thick insole (platform). Last month, Hong Kong-based brand iiJin, contacted me and introduced its brand and sneakers to me. iiJin was created by a Korean designer who graduated from the University of Toronto, Canada and now resides in Hong Kong. The designer got the idea to make elevated sneakers because she never owned a pair of sneakers, she only wore high heels, and simply can not wear flats because it made her legs look short. iiJin means “Precious of Value” in Korean. I received four pairs of sneakers of my choice to try, I chose the leopard print with sequins, black faux croc print, white faux croc and denim styles. The sneakers comes in two versions, 2 inch (1½ inch elevated insole) and 4 inch (1½ inch elevated insole + 2 inch platform), I went with the latter. The prices range from US$130 for the 2″ to $180 for the 4″. I can’t wait to see their new styles coming this holiday, they’re making an even higher version! For stockists, check after the jump. I rocked the leopard print with sequins pair out this past Saturday and got a lot of compliments on it, even guys said they look cool. I love the lacing on this pair, it’s different from the other styles. Don’t think I’ve seen elevated sneakers available in NYC, love them! Thanks, iiJin! Outfit: Black Top (bought from HK), Privacy Wear Denim Shorts (cut by me), Alexander Wang Rocco Duffel, Miu Miu Swallows Sunglasses (courtesy of Luxottica), iiJin Leopard Print with Sequins Sneakers (courtesy of iiJin), Bijules Bones Bar Ring and Skova Design Serpent Three Finger Ring
Fall is looking pretty good for Forever 21’s Love 21 collection, love the sporty chic and casual looks. Sweatpants and maxi skirts worn with a simple white tee paired with some platforms is what I’m diggin’, simple and fresh. |
