NY FASHION WEEK - DAY 3: DIANE VON FURSTENBERG

Diane von Furstenberg's Fall 2008 Collection was hot!!
Sexy satin, cinched waists with thin belts, layered dresses and sweaters, and perfectly-tailored lady-like blazers.
I always find myself loving the colors and the prints she uses, and she has definitely succeeded in creating a feminine fall collection that's very classy and contemporary all at once. -All images from New York Magazine.

COMME DES GARCONS x JUNYA WATANABE x VANS

So I have an obsession for men's oxford shoes, and I love this new collaboration between Vans and Junya Watanabe for Comme des Garcons.
Premium leather mixed with the Vans classic design is on point for you fellas.
Brown ones are totally sick. They dropped at Isetan department store in Tokyo, but no words on them found in the US yet...-Via SlamxHype

BAPE LOVE FOR FEBRUARY

A Bathing Ape releases for February highlights a shoutout to Valentine's Day from the Baby Milo characters.
Cute, but I must say, you must always be in the mood for love (even for Bape) to wear these suckers.Thanks, Hypebeast for the images and the heads.

NY FASHION WEEK - DAY 2: UNITED BAMBOO

Thuy Pham and Miho Aoki of United Bamboo constructed a very feminine, kawaii look complete with bows and origami-detailing.
Their streamlined high-waisted skirts complemented the flowy tops to reveal a sexy, preppy look totally appropriate for the office:

NY FASHION WEEK - DAY 2: ALEXANDER WANG

New York Fashion Week Day 2 kicks off with Alexander Wang's tough-girl themed collection for Fall 2008.
The over-sized sweaters and the feminine tops and skirts are on point in this collection.
Skinny pants and the simple tee+vest combination is a flawless look all in itself, and of course, ripped tights make everything more bad-to-the-bone.
Here are some highlights that I would totally rock:-Images from New York Magazine.

MARC JACOBS <3 SPONGEBOB

We common folks actually have something we can share with the designer...our favorite friend, Spongebob!
Marc Jacobs loves SpongeBob SquarePants. “I just think the colors of that particular cartoon are really beautiful and really sophisticated and interesting,” Jacobs said last night at the party for the screening of Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, the documentary about the designer during his geekier brunette days which will run on the Sundance Channel next week. “I have a tattoo of him on my arm,” he added.

I'm ready...I'm ready...

FLY LIKE PAPER GET HIGH LIKE PLANES>>>>>

Girrrrl, you are CUH-RAY-ZZY if you don't hit this up:

On a side note (speaking of sample sales), I swooped by the 10.deep sample sale on Martel x Melrose today, but unfortunately, there was no gear for the ladies, and the guys stuff was XXXXXXL. Boo...

LIMITED LIMITED EDITION - LIMITED TIME ONLY!

How much more limited can the world get?
LAMJC (co-produced with Colette), who has released their ALL GONE book that displays the hottest limited products and artwork of 2007, has decided to release a limited edition of the already limited edition book (for a limited time only).
All they've done is swap the color way of the cover of the book from purple to silver - which definitely is shinier, and thus more limited edition.
The original version was limited to 1500 copies, and this limited limited edition is kept down to 500 copies available.
See if you can get on the limited edition game by checking out Sold Out before it gets sold out.(How many times did I say limited?)

NY FASHION WEEK - DAY 1: RAG & BONE

New York Fashion Week officially kicked off yesterday at Bryant Park for Fall 2008 Collections. Wheee!

The menswear detailing is again prevalent in these looks, and I can't wait to see the rest of the shows coming up this week for their fall looks. You can get the full scoop on ALL the shows taking place during Fashion Week at Style.com.

NEW STEEZ @ KARMALOOP - OBEY // JEEPNEY
