Yes Please.

Dr. Martens Spring/Summer 2011 Satchel

Apparently only a limited number of 350 pieces -whaaaat? I'm not seeing them available on the US site, just the UK store. I need, no WANT the black one naturally. The red is pretty awesome too..125 pounds is pretty steep but its DM and since their legendary boots are built to last, I'm hoping the same goes for their bags. Currently rocking a BDG satchel I bought at Urban not too long ago and unfortunately it's already showing signs of wear along the edges and seams. Not real leather, cheap, but the look is cute. Can't afford a Proenza so this would be a nice in-between. I love the fact that these bags have the clear pocket on the front too -perfect for business cards!

diy woven chain bracelets

Spotted this awesome diy project via Honestly...WTF's blog. (click on the link for the full tutorial) I can see the possibilities with this and just think, embroidery floss in an array of dark and metallic colors would be excellent! I actually have a bunch of silver curb-chain bracelets sitting around that need some love...this is perfect! Maybe I'll post pictures soon.

Galliano Menswear - Fall 2011

Galliano never ceases to amaze me. The Fall 2010 menswear line features a decidedly Russian-feel. I'm reminded of Omar Sharif, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Genghis Kahn and a bit of Cirque de Soleil meets forest-imp-of-the-Russian-Federation, all rolled in one. I don't think there's one guy I know currently, that would sport these outfits, except maybe the first couple of pics (my man does have a penchant for long coats and canes if he's feeling spooky from time to time...and I'm pretty sure he would've been glad to have one of these on his last trip to Moscow) Love the creativity, the practicality, not so sure about.

One ring to rule them all?

Miyu Decay ~ Black Pudding Feature

Miyu Decay

I first got hip to Stephanie Inagaki's jewelry pieces doing random searches on Etsy. When I came across her shop I could hardly contain myself. Gorgeous cast pieces in materials such as sterling and pewter, mixed with fine textiles including leather, feathers, thread, hair and more. Going further and checking out her portfolio I was even more stunned. Impeccable craftsmanship mixed with creativity and individuality like no other. You can tell her work is a labor of love and it shows. Having purchased the above bat-skull necklace, I was really impressed at the communication we had, not to mention that she customized the strap to my preferences. In addition to being gracious, friendly and sharing similar tastes in fashion, I am glad I also found a new friend!:) If you haven't already, please support this amazing artist and her work. It's rare gems like these that always put a smile on my face. Stephanie, having your necklace with me in Paris was like having a little magical piece of inspiration -thanks again for everything! :)
