I can’t wait for the U.S. release of Coco Before Chanel, where Anne Fontaine is taking us into Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel's life before Chanel to show who she was. The film stars Audrey Tautou but doesn’t hit theaters till September 25th, but you can watch the trailer below:

I'm Back!

Just got back from Haiti today! I was supposed to be back as of yesterday however my flight was canceled!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways...its good to be back in the US of A and I will have more pictures within the week!

Nice!

For the 2009 fall/winter season, Pointer is looking to diversify its portfolio with an influx of new styles beyond the sneaker models you’re probably used to. And I think they have done a great job with their Tanju loafer.
It's so clean, crisp and NICE LoL... a good look for you guys out there and for ladies if they offer smaller sizes :o)
Tanju will release late next week at TheThreeThreads.com.

Jimmy Choo x H&M

Yes!

H&M's new collaboration is with Jimmy Choo and I am looking forward to it!

[The collection will be available from November 14 in around 200 stores across the world. It is the first time that H&M is collaborating with an accessories brand, and to celebrate Jimmy Choo will extend its design vision for this collection to women’s clothing to complement the accessories. Further exciting news is that this collaboration includes a men’s collection of shoes, bags and accessories.]

Clothing too!? Well Jimmy Choo is not known for their clothing but we shall see what they have to offer *shrugs* it can't be that bad...can it? And it's all being extended for men as well !woowwie!

I think H&M is doing a great job with the collabos and choosing Jimmy Choo to be their first accessories collab was an awesome move because Jimmy Choo is very well known and what girl or guy wouldn't want to own a Choo themselves without having to pay the Choo price!!

It's a match made in heaven :sigh: LoL

Oxfords: Love 'em or Hate 'em

Oxford shoes came about way back when in Scotland. And as we all know fashion is in constant recycle mode so of course they made their way back to us in 2009.

I want to know what you guys out there think about them?

Personally I like them...I like them a lot but it must be worn in like the coolest way possible! LoL I'm worried that I wouldn't be able to pull it off, but I want to try.

Either way, I found a small article in which advice was given on how to where the Oxford shoes so it doesn't look so... Steve Urkle-ish!






Do’s and don’t of wearing each style. Here are the four rules they set before you:

1. “Putting flat lace-ups with a wide-leg trouser or jean is a very dated way to wear them,” says Jane Herman, Fashion Writer. “Instead, try a cropped pant.”

2. “This should not be a Wall Street look,” states Filipa Fino, Senior Accessories Editor. “Let the men wear them with suits. Women should wear them with feminine pieces.”

3. “Don’t match the colors of your shoe to your outfit,” suggests Izzie Burch, Fashion Assistant. “These are playful—do the unexpected.”

4. “Avoid socks!” says Jill Demling, Entertainment Editor. “That’s my only rule!”
