The first pair of obnoxious sneakers that I ever purchased (accidentally) matched my living room walls in all of their bright green glory. So I suppose it’s only appropriate that my second has turned out to (almost) match my living room rug. Presenting the newest addition to my closet: Reebok’s Freestyle Hi Int Neopolitan. They were the last pair left and they happen to be exactly my size. See also: fate. My mother helped me call them ugly while rolling her eyes pick them out while she was in town. I know, I know… They’re arguably the most hideous high tops on the planet, but I absolutely adore them.
Stripe Show Shirt by Alexander McQueen…
Silhouettes and shapes don’t have to be physically created, optical illusions can achieve the same effect. Alexander McQueen achieves the same success in terms of creating impressionable silhouette through his famed skills in cut and drape with graphic prints and visual effects. The new Stripe Show Shirt has horizontal navy and white graduated stripes that create a gradient effect which visually tucks the wearer’s middle in like an hourglass. Made in lightweight cotton, you will look and feel slim in this near trippy dress shirt– no Photoshop necessary. (via)
Once again, Chanel has managed to brand an everyday object and put it on the market for an astronomically inflated price. Introducing the Chanel guitar and quilted case…
The 2009 Spring Summer Guitar By Chanel: Debuted at the Paris Spring 2009 Fashion Week, the guitar is a black acoustic instrument, with Chanel discretely spelled out across the top of the neck and the classic double CCs can be seen in the guitar’s resonant cavity.
The strap is striped in brown, white and black with intertwining C’s embossed in leather where the strap attaches. The most elegant piece of all is the guitar’s case, in Chanel’s signature quilted pattern and in stylish white. Price? $4,030.00 (via)
