NEW ARRIVALS - 10 Mar (Sun)

Hey there! Got a little bit of activity going on today — a very tiny (but long-awaited!) shipment of ladies dresses —including maxis— will be in this afternoon. Can’t wait to check ’em out ourselves. :-D

Etc.

Have a nice, partyful weekend. :-)

BCBGMAXAZRIA (New York) Accordion Pleated Dress

Both flirtatious and sophisticated, this swingy BCBGMaxAzria dress with petite accordion pleats also features optically alluring colourblocking. Drawstring ties at the shoulders and waist further give the dress a vintagey ’70s appeal. Good for both a professional setting (especially with a blazer) or a leisure one, you’ll get plenty of use out of this sweet piece.

(RRP US$238)

Romantic accordion pleats that first made an appearance on the Spring 2012 runways are making a return appearance for the collections of big names like (L to R) Valentino, J Mendel, Celine, Derek Lam, and Chloe.

Fashionistas wearing pretty accordion pleats on their garments at the 2013 fashion weeks.

Happy International Women's Day

Happy 8 March! Thank you to all the inspiring women who have made a difference in our lives.

TORY BURCH (New York) Leather Fox Ballet Flat

Hello foxy lady. Woodland creatures have become a mini runway trend, but perhaps none as conspicuous as the fox. Playful yet polished, this patent leather ballet flat from luxe label Tory Burch features a little fox on the toe, complete with a patent bow on its ear.

A fun and charming alternative to heels, slip these cuties on with everything from skinny jeans to shorts.

The season’s ‘It’ animal? The fox. Suddenly these little guys are everywhere — from handbags to jewellery to the front of dresses.

Etc.

Enjoy a little happiness-inspiring mid-air floating (along with a behind-the-scenes look).

Happy Saturday!

BAGGU (New York) Leather Bag

The story of Baggu began in 2006, when Parsons design student Emily Sugihara thought that it was silly there weren’t any cute reusable bags on the market. Collaborating with her mother (who ran a quilt-making biz with fans like Ralph Lauren), Sugihara came up with a functional nylon carryall based on the classic plastic grocery bag. Seven years later, Baggu spans 18 countries and offers everything from pouches to keychains. And that good ole nylon prototype? It now comes in extra-supple natural milled leather, too.

Simple but cleverly constructed, the leather version of Baggu’s signature nylon bag has the same shape, with two handles that are comfortably hand- or shoulder-carryable.

Big enough to hold all your stuff, rugged enough to toss around, fun enough for your weekends, and stylish enough for a city spin!

(RRP US$160)

Baggu Trivia

Baggu founder Emily Sugihara (L) is one-quarter Japanese and Baggu (バッグ) is the Japanese word for bag.

Sugihara’s childhood bestie, Ellen Van Der Laan (R), created Baggu’s logo and officially became the brand’s creative director in 2008.

COLE HAAN (New York) Suede Wingtip - New Colourway

If you weren’t able to get your hands on Cole Haan’s LunarGrand Wingtip before, or you just want another pair, now’s your chance. There is just something about the clash of tradition and innovation —manifested in the brogue style premium suede uppers and coloured Lunarlon midsoles (great cushioning)— that has all the fashion-savvy gentlemen clamoring to  get their hands on a pair. (Each release of this shoe has seen its inventory consistently fly off the shelves.)

Whether teamed with tailoring or slim-fitting denim or linen shorts, this shoe will add lots of jaunty flair to your outfits.

(RRP US$248)
