Booji Folk

Critical sneaker game is usually reserved for men. Women are left to their own devices - hunting through ubiquitous sneaker shops for unique style - only to find the same construction formula in shoe-after-shoe.

Well, ladies, Booji is devoted to street-style sneakers just for the feminine set. In a power move made for television, Miss Mdot (the creator behind this stroke of ingenuity) maneuvered a deal with JB Classics Lab to develop out-of-the-box sneakers designs. The line is well-known among the streetwear set and has been going hard in Europe for quite some time.

Those in the skater set should definitely appreciate the approach Miss Mdot took, with her bright colors and versatility (some sneakers come with detachable pouches and in various fabrications). However, Booji also has appeal for those girls who just want to have fun in their sneakers.

Celestino by Sergio Guadarrama Sping Collection 2009

I had to post this video of this new emerging designer Sergio Guadarrama his Spring 2009 Collection was on fullblast during New York's Fashion Week. I was thoroughly impressed by his chic, ultra-feminine cocktail dresses and evening gowns. Note- this can only be appreciated by the sophisticated femme-fatales whose personal style is inspired by a strong sense of values and self worth. Ladies you will thank me later for turning you on to this designer that has off the chain technical methods seen with how he works lush fabrications. Now, excuse me I have to go and find my WIFE! LOL!

Fetiche est Sexy!

Ok, call it a fetiche {fetish}, but I can't seem to help myself when I spot a beautiful stiletto. Last week, I had you check out finsk.




This week, I'm diggin' on Pour La Victorie. And to these spikes, I say "Yes We Most Definitely Can Be Victorious!" Interesting attention to detail, a style aesthetic that mines the boundaries between rocker-chic and boho-sexy - what more can a girl ask for?

Style Shot

While aimlessly surfing the 'net for the stylish and the chic, I ran across this pic. My attention immediately perked up, thinking about the ways in which Madonna's leather coat could be styled: skinny jeans and rockstar booties; a slouchy shopper and Louboutin pumps; knit dress, tights and flat riding boots...the options are practically endless.

And then I scrolled further down into the picture to see how Madonna styled the piece.

Frayed patchwork and odd man-shoes. And I sighed...

Over the past few years I've seen a dramatic lifestyle/cultural shift from our infatuation with the gangster aesthetic to the hipster aesthetic. It seems that such mega-tastemakers like Jay-z are masterful at updating their silhouettes. Also remarkably on trend whether it's with his hood swag look or as you see here the street-chic hipster flow. Though I can't help but to recall his verse from Swagga Like Us, that he dont wear skinny jeans because his knot wont fit. From this pic I'm not fully convinced that he hasn't at least thought about rocking a fresh pair of raw selvedge slim-fit denim.Jay might I suggest APC,G-Star or Nudie. You can leave it up to style progressives to stay checkin, checkin his fresh!!

A.P.C. x Nike: Retro Sneaker Freaks

French progressive label A.P.C. is teaming up with Nike Sportswear to produce a throwback sneaker for Spring '09. The styling is based off of Nike's All Courts - a hot look in the 80's and 90's before Nike introduced the world to the crosstrainer.

Sure to be a hot commodity with the skater set, the hipster crews, and stylish sneaker freaks alike, the collab sounds like a good look.

Also look out for A.P.C. and Nike to mingle their brands to build the Nike Court Tradition shoe.
