FIRST LOOK: Alexander Wang Resort 2010 Footwear
They might not be quite as enthralling as past seasons, but Alexander Wang’s Resort 2010 footwear collection still has me drooling a little bit! Carrying his distinct, protruding heel into the future, Wang has a pair of desert-boot oxfords, suede, gladiator heels and leather, riveted gladiators in store for us. The oxfords are a mere version of his leather oxfords out this season, but those gladiators, yeah, those need to be in my life and on my feet STAT.
Thanks Refinery 29!

LOOKBOOK: Eternal Child Fall 2009
Good knitwear is a must-have for the winter, and when you come across the beauteous, chunky knits from Istanbul based, Eternal Child, you can’t help but pray the wind gets a little colder. Leathers, a surefire crowd favorite, made their appearance in the collection as some body conscious motorcycle jackets while furs made a brief, cameo appearance in the form of a vest. But trendy items aside, it’s really the bold knits that make this collection a win in my book!
