BALENCIAGA ARENA CREASED-LEATHER LOW TOP SNEAKERS

 Dealing with a lot of shoe porn today. Just after my review on the premium leather Asos Black low tops i went on Mr Porter and decided to his the 'New In' tab and i was harassed by these Balenciaga Arena's. Priced not too high for those who want to buy into the label and at the same time not too low to lose its 'designer' status, these would fork you £325.

GRIEB & BENZINGER presents a new white gold collection: Shades of Grey

 Even if the name of GRIEB & BENZINGER’s new collection Shades of Grey reminds some people of E. L. James’ successful trilogy—and they do have a cool, secretive fascination in common—the new white gold watches by GRIEB & BENZINGER tell their very own stories. As so often the case with this company, these two new creations from the masters of skeleton watches are the direct result of wishes from some of our customers, who are located all over the world.

Wooyoungmi Printed Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt

Wooyoungmi has long been one of my fav brands from South Korea and it keeps playing with digital prints. These print tees from their ss13 range might just make its way into the 'it' tee league. Retails for £100 at Mr Porter.

The Vans Encinitas Sweat

Whilst 2013 may be off to an excellent start, temperatures are not faring so well.  With t-shirt season a while off yet, there’s no better time to invest in a decent crewneck, the perfect layer between shirt and jacket.  Knowing a thing or two about trends Vans, have grabbed all-over print with both hands. The Encinitas sweat, named after the small coastal town of Encinitas in California (known for amongst other things the beautiful Surfing Madonna mural) is a khaki offering featuring an all over palm-tree jungle design coupled with a contrasting ribbed brown cuff, hem and neckline.  The finishing touch is a classic Vans OTW patch on the left chest, which breaks up the print without distracting from the overall effect of the piece.

KENZO SPRING SUMMER 13 MENS SUNGLASSES

 Kenzo's ss13 menswear collection is made up of these eccentric shades. Lusting would not be an appropriate word to describe my emotions for most of the pieces in this collection but well, it comes close. Love the use of colors and the Kenzo camo print works well here.
