For the boys

The shoe brand Jimmy Choo is going to ope its first standalone menswear store on November 2nd. The store will be in Mayfair's Burlington Arcade. So if your ever in London and want to buy some shoes go get some Jummy Choos!!

"I want it to feel as though you are walking into a gentleman's club, with all the luxurious appointments and comforts," said the label's founder and ceo Tamara Mellon. "It's a mod update on an English men's smoking lounge." 


The store will have the brand's autumn/winter 2011-2012 collection and it will be two floors high. The collection will consist of black, glittering loafers, polished leather boot and embroidered slipper shoes. 


V ersace for H&M

A new Donatella Versace collection is coming to H&M! The collection will consist of bright prints and bold colors. Also, for the first time for H&M there will be homeware.



"The collection for H&M is the essence of Versace. For the collaboration we've brought back from the archives, as well as from more recent collections, some of the icons of Versace, such as the bright prints, the Greek key and daring cuts. I can't wait to see how H&M's wide audience will make these pieces their own," says Donatella Versace. The collection is launching in 300 stores worldwide and online on November 17!



I think it is pretty exciting that H&M is broadening their styles. I think they will be successful with their brighter and more bold collections.

$19,000 shoeslaces

Someone actually made super expensive shoelaces. You think $39,000 is a lot of money for a backpack what about spending $19,000 for shoelaces? Now they are making shoelaces from pure gold or silver. 

A company called Mr. Kennedy will make you two 24-cart gold laces for $19,000. These shoelaces take 120 hours to make by hand!! But one can only order 10 units. However, you can get up to 30 units for the silver shoelaces and they are $3,000.  



I stick with regular shoelaces!!
