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)

As someone attempting to decorate their (black and white) bedroom, I’m sort of smitten with these photos from Mobileffe… Viva striped walls and sleek lines.
