It really is the little things in life that make the days pass. The changing colors of the fall leaves, a lady in high heeled rain boots taking a slippery tumble and crushing her umbrella, you know the standard moments of beauty we all look out for day to day. So here’s a big thank you to APC for making their little things really count, and if anyone asks why- fuck ‘em!

LINK LOVE: High Snobiety

One of our favorite street photographers Scott Schuman, better known at the Sartorialist, has organized his own pop-up at Barneys! Full of lust-worthy items, Schuman displays his luxurious taste at the ‘SartoriaLUST,’ which includes pieces from Maison Martin Margiela, Dries Van Noten, APC, and Ralph Lauren, among others.  Prices are high, but isn’t that the point of lust-worthy?

Maiden Noir is proving that simple is sometimes best. The latest Spring collection has a great mix of colors and patterns placed on very traditional, every day pieces. The collection has me thinking a bit about A.P.C., but then again it could look like a ton of other brands as well.

Diane Kruger covers the June 2009 issue of Lucky in silk Oscar de la Renta and a Chanel necklace.

Kruger shares with readers some of her favorite style go-tos — like MAC lipstick, flats, Boy by Band of Outsiders, shopping at A.P.C., and, of course, Chanel.

A.P.C. is spreading the word about their new Spring 2009 collection that is due in stores next Thursday, January 22. The collection reminds me of a refined indie-rock look. The collection features Wafarer-esque sunglasses pair with cardigans, slim suits and a more fitted slim pant. The pieces are great for someone who is looking to put and edgy feel on a nicer look. I could see myself in everything A.P.C. has to offer this upcoming Spring. I would even wear the khakis, despite the fact that they bring back the horrible thoughts of my mother making me wear khakis to church and the country club when I was growing up, it was awful!

Thanks Selectism

I don’t know who came up with this idea, but what the hell. I feel like I’m wasting my money when I buy some stupid designer hair product, but I am not dumb enough to buy this crap. If I cared that much about what olive oil I was using I would go to the grocery store and buy the best one they had. This is like going to Compton to figure out who the next big country music sensation is. Unless there is some new cool cosmetic use for olive oil that would cause A.P.C to do this I am deeming this the dumbest collaboration (?) ever. Combine this with David Beckham’s fish sticks, and Ivanka Trumps new microwavable meals and you have the most fashionably pathetic heart attack.

*Please note, this is in no way related to the fact that I hate food. I was recently accused of being anorexic by a reader, and I want to clear it up that due to the economic climate I can’t afford food so LAY OFF!

Thanks to Selectism.

Oh no APC, wide of the mark on this one. Unfortunately for APC this line is less than impressive. If you ask me this is just a slightly glorified version of a Gap line. The ugly Ugg-like boots and the lack of patterns just don’t do it for me. What’s with the creepy model too? Hopefully APC learns from their mistakes. Sorry!

Thaks Hypebeast for the images.

The A.P.C. Fall/Winter 08/09 collection has been released. Lookbooks have been arriving at homes across the board for all to snatch a glimpse. The line features a laid-back approach to style at its best. After all, isn’t it best when intricate style adapts so well to the individual that it looks completely effortless? The extensive collection is composed of straight-legged pants, jackets, shirts, hats, bags and even scarves. Each look is put together with the perfect touch; simple outfits with a fur lined jacket, or the perfect hat to complete the well-said statement. Whatever the outfit, all are created with a swift take on a fashionable presentation.

Thanks to selectism for the pics!
