Things I Love: Bangles from Kate Spade

I really enjoy the Kate Spade aesthetic (and I've long been a fan of Jack Spade's wares for men)... it is full of colors and stripes and fun patterns and a simple yet classic design.

Yesterday I laughed aloud at a tweet from the KS team about going to play kickball in Central Park against the staff at MOMA... https://twitter.com/katespadeny/status/13506872468

Now today I read about these hilarious bangles the Kate Spade team has made, in homage to the Beastie Boys song "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn". Love it!

My girlfriends better watch out, they may be getting these for Christmas. Here's a link to read more: http://www.refinery29.com/kate-spade-makes-beastie-boys-no-sleep-till-brooklyn-bangles.php#disqus_thread

Now they just need to do a bangle about a Bangles song... "Manic Monday" anyone?

Things I Want: Canvas Sneakers from Australia

I know I recently posted about the Clae sneakers I ordered from Gilt (which have yet to arrive)... but I saw these canvas sneakers from Australia (being offered at Steven Alan) and I mean, they are so different from the green mesh pair I have coming. I can definitely do both!

I am digging the simplicity of these shoes, with the blue trim. But honestly what stood out to me is what seem like an exaggerated front toe. The rubber up there seems to be bulkier and it has an accentuated curve to it. Caught my eye!

Here's the link to buy them from Steven Alan (and check out his shirts while you are there): http://www.stevenalan.com/product.php?cat=1023&productid=17845.

But what led me to these shoes is a guy's summer shoe review by Refinery 29: http://www.refinery29.com/eight-summer-mens-shoes.php.

Happy reading!
