Umbros

Umbros permalink

Umbro has been outfitting the burliest bros in sports since 1920. And while you might not find yourself in a proper scrum or scrapping on the pitch anytime soon, you can still rock the same pair of checkerboard Rios that helped many a young dude score style points when delivering his pick-up lines at the mall. Bonus: Head to our stores, where we just got ‘em in.

Monowheel permalink

This is insane. We can’t even imagine the day we’ll see these all over town, thought it’s probably just around the corner. There’s even enough room for your messenger bag! (Via Arkitip.)

Enfant Terrible

Enfant Terrible permalink

Friend of Urban Jade Masterson Hally always strives to keep the kids shiny and happy with her Enfant Terrible line of jewelry. Case and point: her dino necklace, which is making us want to roam the earth, er, nightclub. (Image: Niamh’s Flickr.)

Paperback Magazine

Paperback Magazine permalink

Paperback Magazine is a new art title that likens itself to the ‘Art’ section in a used bookstore; a place where artists of disparate disciplines, movements, geographies, and time-periods share common ground. (Via Fecal Face.)

Anna Wintour

Anna Wintour permalink

Never question Anna Wintour. Love her or hate her, you have to admit she’s had her act together from the get. Just sayin’.

We want to live life in a field; surrounded by our friends, snacking on kiwis, and kissed by the sunset. Kind of like the girl in the katiecoleslaw photo above.

Turnleft Guides

Turnleft Guides permalink

"We’re the Kate Moss of travel guides!” So say the team at Turnleft, who penned a new series of free city guides for urban travelers (read: the hipper-than-thou with money to burn). The guides are perfect for a short trip or catching up on the latest in a city and they’re published quarterly, which ensures fresh local content. The Helsinki guide (above) is out now and guides for Amsterdam, Berlin, London, and Paris are on the horizon. (Via FMCS.)

Emily Golden permalink

We love Emily Golden’s slender flowing ladies. She’s probably one of those illustrators who probably grew up dreaming about being a nymph who sprouted up out of a tulip. Check out more from Emily, plus other great artist series tees here.

Tommy B - Our Lomo Contest Winner

Our Lomo Contest Winner In London permalink

With 120 other winners vying for the top spot, Tommy B was crowned the Grand Prize Winner of our Lomo Contest back in August. We flew him to London for the Lomography World Congress and once he hit the city he never put his camera down. He sent us over 500 images of his London jaunt and you can check out a handful of them here. Speaking of never putting his camera down, he’s also down in Austin this week, shooting the SXSW festivities for us. Stay up on his Flickr sets here.

Stella McCartney Lingerie

Stella McCartney Lingerie permalink

Stella McCartney‘s long awaited lingerie line is finally out and it’s just as incredible as I imagined. The standout for me by far is the silk bra with wide straps and sexy use of mesh throughout with detail in the stitching that reminds you of seashells. It’s definitely the sort of bra that you wouldn’t mind showing beneath a sheer top. While the price of her fancy knickers are close to the other high end lingerie companies, don’t let that stop you.

Skulls are definitely getting the trend extension pass. But what would really be cool is if this is what skulls actually looked like. Check out more groovy swirls over at Andy J Miller’s site. (Via print & pattern.)

Amelia’s Magazine permalink

Issue 08 of Amelia’s Magazine is out now and it’s poised to become our favorite life and culture mag for sure. You can’t mistake the love put into this issue: it’s enormous (like 300 pages), chock full of editorial goodness and about 60 of this issue’s pages feature a visit to Russia.

Cutler and Gross

Cutler and Gross permalink

Cornering the market for buyers looking for something practical yet chic, Cutler and Gross is a British eyewear company who’ve been creating some of the most distinct sunglass styles for nearly three decades. They recently struck a deal with high fashion house Mulberry and brought back five styles exclusively for them from their archives of over 600 looks. While the Mulberry shades may be one of many passing trends, you can bet Cutler and Gross will be here through them all.

Rouleur Magazine permalink

Rouleur is a quarterly cycling journal that focuses more on features and photo essays than your run-of-the-mill biking mag. The layout is gorgeous...it’s definitely not the type of thing you’d recycle.
