From London 04/22/08Umbros permalinkUmbro 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.

From London 04/01/08Paperback Magazine permalinkPaperback 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.) |
From London 03/31/08Anna Wintour permalinkNever question Anna Wintour. Love her or hate her, you have to admit she’s had her act together from the get. Just sayin’. |

From London 03/07/08Stella McCartney Lingerie permalinkStella 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. |

From London 02/01/08Tatty Devine Candy Collection permalinkTatty Devine’s new “Candies” s/s ‘08 collection is slowly being released.
