Alexander McQueen knuckle ring

I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't own an iPod. I refuse to own one just because it's gonna be another clunky object in the bag and because i have personal issues with gadgets and machines. I tend to have trouble in using them and breaking them in the process. Wearing your iPod on the wrist, and in watch form, looks good without looking like the kind of people who wear their iPods on their arms. This bright idea of popping your Nanos into the silicone watch casing is from the  creative brand, Hex and costs only  $25 USD. It's convenient design and cool silicone colors is just right for someone who wants to put music matters in their own hand, er, wrist. It also makes a good gift! Ehem!  These are now available to purchase directly through Shophex.com. For your convenience, I like colors black and white. :P

My favorite Jap brand AMBUSH, which i hope to own a piece someday, presents a series of designs created for the brand’s 2011 Spring/Summer Collection. Standing out are several classics, done up in a variety of new colorways, including pieces like the POW! ring and “SKULL “AMB” BONES” line. Also on display is AMBUSH’s latest collaboration; an eclectic mix of vibrant styles created alongside Cassette Playa. Look for these come 2011.-hypebeast

Here goes another "I-wish-I-were-a-Hilton" moment. Givenchy has released its lookbook for accessories and I just can't get my mind off from the liquid gold leather purse, teh soft leather carry-all and the red and black leather wallet. The items are not available until summer next year but if I were a Hilton, I'll find a way to get this babies in my hand and pockets.

Holy Moly, Doc Martens! The Doctor is extending their collaborative effort and this time with the Jap brand Milk Boy. Milk Boy created  familiar Bat Wings silhouette. It's cool as it is but what would Jeremy Scott say about this? Hmmm.

Rad Hourani works with MYKITA on these unisex sunglasses. Its block design certainly defies most of the curvacious lenses seen with no hint of curves at all. Matte black lenses give the Mykita a reserved look. Available now through RAD.-hypebeast

I found these lovely feathered earcuffs from stylehurricane. It's a lovely alternative to statement earrings or a statement in itself if worn by guys. It's sold for $25-27 a pair.

This is an interesting case of 'runway to reality.'  Model Oscar Spendrup was snapped on the street wearing a  feather necklace used in Carin Wester S/S 2011 presentation. 

Apparently, Oscar also modeled for the show. I found out that the feather-voodoo like necklaces are not part of the collection but created by the show's stylist, Ursula. The necklace is made of leather straps, wooden beads, 2 kinds of feathers and several kinds of stone pendants which all kept an earthy tone. What's special about this necklace is that despite the size of the feathers, it didn't arrive to become overwhelming. It did become a focal point but it actually helped emphasize the relaxed boho-voodoo vibe of the collection. As far as the street version is concerned, it became an interesting focal point of khaki /navy jacket combi carrying the same air of organic magic.

bags from flea market paintings

In M. H. del Pilar Ave, in Malate in the Philippines, you will find rows of tourist shops selling antiques and faux-antique home decors and cheap reproductions of paintings on canvass.   Themes vary from sunset in Manila Bay, farm scene, The Last Supper, flowers, and still life fruits. Some are direct imitations of great local masterpieces. If you're a tourist looking for some cheap souvenirs to take home, it's tempting to keep a blind eye on class and take the plunge. Besides, everything are meticulously hand-painted in oil and the prices are way much lower than the original. Who would know it's a repro when hung in a very expensive frame, right? Who are you fooling. Well, it could enjoy refuge in your walls for sometime until you realize that it's missing the 'heart and soul' present in an original masterpiece. Instead of keeping it in the attic for posterity to either rot in oblivion or as food for the rats, you could turn it into an attractive canvass tote which will look way much cooler. There's also something "Margielic" about it by turning something regular into a real artisanal work of art. You just need to coat it with a layer of varnish to preserve the pigments, some scrap cloth as inner lining, and some  really sartorial looking leather bag handles (or can be from an old bag,  too).

Wanna know what to do with the empty frame?

What makes Maison Martin Margiela 8 Hybrid Aviator unique is the complexity of harmonizing 2 different ideas together. Some designers may have interpreted this idea and will never get away with it but the Maison has the unique ability to combine good craftsmanship and avant technology which makes this pair of oversized hybrid aviators with tortoiseshell acetate and half-frame trim a genuine masterpiece. Lenses have a half amber, half brown tint which makes methinks, "How the hell did they do that?!"

To further their take on goth and macabre, highsnobiety reported that Givenchy will make these leather masks available in the stores as part of their Spring/Summer 2011 accessories collection for next year. For the past 3 or 4 seasons, Givenchy man comes up with scene stealing yet highly covetable accessories done in such luxuriuos and artisanal manner like their Fall 2010 crown of thorns necklace. Leather gas masks, golden crown of thorns...Givenchy always comes up with something...frightening.
