- GIRL AT WORK -

Parisian brand Surface to Air has made its mark in the apparel and accessories industry  with its contemporary fashion for men and women.

Not to mention they dish out killer heels every season.

Don’t believe me, take a look around almost every streetsyle blog and lookbook and you’ll soon see their classic Buckle Sandals “partout”.  For a brand that’s only been around since 2000, it’s already made some major waves.

Who needs marketing when you have a good product, right?!

I’m in love with their recent Editorial done by Surface to Air Brasil. Not only does it play with the  seasons “must-have” all denim look, it’s a juxtaposition of  the woman as a bad-ass in a “typical” male role!

Key Lime is in and I’m not talking about the pie! It was everywhere during Paris Fashion Week – I thought I’d be the only one rocking the electric green, but I was outnumbered.

If you’re tempted to try the color block trends this season why not do so with a bit of green and a black jeans and blazer? You don’t have to copy the entire DVF runway look, though I know many of you guys can pull it off, especially in the summer time.

“BIG UP CHANEL”

I walked into what used to be an old garage space now made new to house the limited installation of Chanel pieces at Colette as well as young emerging designers curated by Colette. Well known artist Fafi was in the house customizing bags, and a stiff set of security guards to make sure there weren’t any photos taken inside.

But , alas, here is what I captured from the outside. P.S. I love that the wall graffiti said “Big Up Chanel”…Jamaican vernacular gone mass-luxe?

Today was less packed than two nights ago, when I rode by and saw a queue of people waiting in the cold to get inside.

Now Showing: Another episode of “Knock-off Jungle”

It’s not right to say that these are fake Alexander Wang shoes, but the similarities are just too obvious to ignore, and in the past F21 has made no excuses as to their use of the runway for fashion “inspiration”, remember these Chloe knockoff shoes?

Harpers Bazaar believes that “Fakes are never in fashion“, but somehow replicas are…

You be the judge, would you buy these cheap-er Alexander Wang  style shoes for $29.80 or the real leather shoes $517.00?

Remember those photos I took of  Caroline Issa during Paris Fashion Week wearing those

killer Alejandro Ingelmo boots? Well now they are on sale on Gilt Groupe.

They are 50% off, the suggested retail price.
