Fresh Looks for Ladies!

Swagger S/S '08 Collection


The Swagger Spring/Summer 2008 collection is getting into stores this month. For the new season the Japanese brand works with several graphic themes and as usual with the brand there are lots of strong colors and crazy patterns used. www.swagger-co.com

Erykah Badu & Dave Chappelle


Erykah Badu celebrated both her birthday and album release in Dallas with Dave Chappelle. Erykah is so cute, I love her corky style.

BBC Monogram Bag

The Billionaire Boys Club has really outdone themselves this season with a pretty nice collection which emphasizes on the theme of luxury and extravagance. This new BBC Monogram Bag mimics a bag you might see in a hi-end boutique like Gucci but luckily it doesn't mimic the price. If you're not ready for the Prada's and LV's yet, then you could consider this bag priced at 55,440 Yen bag. Available now at BBC | Ice Cream stores. bbcicecream.com

Soulland S/S '08 Collection


Soulland is a small Danish brand to keep an eye on. With streetwear roots, the brand is going through a transition these past couple of seasons and slowly makes their way into a more high end market, similar to what we have seen from brands such as Wood Wood.
This Spring/Summer 2008 season they present strong cut & sew which is still do to be released, but also nice t-shirts and crewneck sweaters, which are now already available at Norse. Make sure to check them out!

PENTAGRAM ARCHITECTS RADIO CITY-INSPIRED HOME THEATRE


Pentagram Architects has designed this home theater, taking inspiration from Radio City Music Hall and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The theater has a series of round arches, which house 600 five-watt dimmer-controlled light bulbs that provide a light for when you need to find the remote control. And as in the Music Hall, the lights are positioned to glow away from the viewers. Pentagram has designed the theater to function like a TV room, but can also easily accommodate up to ten people. All of the surfaces in the room are covered in orange felt to help with the acoustics, and seating on the floor has been taken care of by Edelman Leather who custom made the beanbags. This house, which also boasts a large private outdoor space looking onto the Atlantic Ocean, recently won an American Architecture Award for distinguished buildings and a Citation for Design in the AIA New York State Design Awards.

Nike Be True Dunk Feature on Honeye



A few years back, it was fashionable in the Sneakerhead community to match your sneakers along with your clothes like t-shirts or jackets. However, for the past year or so, both "Sneakerheads" and "Hypebeasts" have opted for more low-cut and stylish sneakers from brands like Vans or Converse. Individuals now focuses on their overall look rather than wearing just hyped up sneakers (like the Dunks). Just today, the Japanese web magazine Honeyee has published a look book feature showing you that Dunks can actually look good if worn with the right pieces. In the feature, you will not see black dunks with a black shirt but rather you will get to experience how a sporty shoe like the Dunk can go with a more sophisticated fit.

BRIGHT BAGS


It seems that spring handbags are currently channeling Skittles, as there is a razzle-dazzle rainbow of totes, hobos, and satchels in stores and on stylish shoulders. It's no wonder, as bright bags were one of the strongest accessory trends on the runways, from lemon yellow at Celine, to tangerine at Versace to shamrock green at Marc by Marc Jacobs. We’re fond of these bags for many reasons, primarily because they're a snappy (meaning both lively and quick) way to transition an otherwise wintry outfit into spring, as Mandy Moore demonstrated during Fashion Week. In hopes of sharing our love for the look with you, dear readers, we discovered all the details about the above celeb-carried bags and found additional options you’re sure to love.
