Different Heights

Our favorite part of fall and winter are boots, boots, and more boots!

Its so versatile, you can pair it with anything ….skinny jeans, leggings, dresses.   Dress it up, dress it down, boots adds the perfect POP to any outfit.  This season’s hottest trend is without a doubt the over-the-knee boots which has graced many of the hot runways shows.  We too are head over heals over these dramatic boots, but don’t discriminate against the rest … we love them all!

Here are some of our faves:

Crafty Knitwear

October 30th, 2009 | Tags: , , ,

While attending FOCUS show at the LA California Market Center a few weeks back, we came across a very talented Korean designer that blew us away with her handmade knitwear pieces.

The out of the box designs keep the collection adventurous and unique.  We were amazed by the attention to detail and originality that went into each piece of the line.  Don’t like the color? No problem! This designer makes custom pieces to order.  There is no limitation to what Kay Lim Designs can do.

“All the single ladies, all the single ladies”

October 30th, 2009 | Tags: , , , ,

We hate to admit it, but we cannot get enough of the song “Single Ladies” … Pomplamoose’s version that is!!

Pomplamoose, which aslo means grape fruit in French, is a band made up of two Youtube musicians that joined forces – Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte.  The two produces all their own tracks … every sound down to the last beat.   Their music is a nice change from the mass produced pop songs you hear everyday on the radio.

What’s also great are their videos that illustrates everything they put into creating their music.  Fun and enjoyable to watch :)

You can check out more of Pomplamoose music on Youtube or their Myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/pomplamoosemusic

Trust us, their original tracks are just as good!!

Urban Jewelry

Who would’ve thought that jewelry can make such fascinating street art?

Belgian designer Liesbeth Bussche loves to decorate the city by scattering pieces of her jewelry made of concrete balls, steel chains, and sand.  These oversized jewelry street installations can even brighten the appeal of a construction sight, or make a drab sidewalk look chic.

Here is Bussche’s definition of Urban Jewelry:
