New necklaces
A couple of necklaces I just added to the shop… but really want to keep! The turquoise one also looks really good with the triangle necklace, in my opinion.
Update: Osborn Design Studio
Osborn Design Studio has added some gorgeous embroidered boots and oxfords made with recycled huipils to their shop. Seriously awesome, and not for the timid.
Update: Manu by Lauren Manoogian
I just revisited Lauren’s site for Manu, her jewelry line (a favourite of mine), and noticed that she has started a Tumblr blog for documenting her work. In case you don’t already know, her jewelry is made with very basic office supplies such as tape and paperclips, with stunning results.
Fall 2010 RTW: Generra
I really love the new Generra collection for men. Leave it to Swaim and Christina Hutson. The way the green and blue colour palette was styled for the show is quite striking, and yet looks very wearable. Even though I wasn’t as excited about their women’s wear this time around, I really love the men’s.
R.I.P. Alexander McQueen
Today we lost a truly visionary designer.

Brodarte (yes really)
According to Racked NY, Rodarte has released some menswear for the first time ever. Hot on the heels of their Target collection, they are calling the new mini-menswear line ‘Brodarte’ (which is hilarious) and it can only be found at Opening Ceremony. I love the Mulleavy sisters. It’s worth noting that these gossamer knits are definitely more unisex than anything.
