Why!?!

Why is Tiffany and Co. making bags?
This does not make sense to me!
Tiffany and Co. is a world renowned jeweler known for its JEWELRY! Not its purses! They have also been making sunglasses! I know, it's crazy!


David Yurman has been another jewelry company to follow the trend. They make sunglasses too! I don't get it! I know they are trying to bring in revenue any way they can, but jewelry is their heritage and should remain the only product they sell.

Kirkwood the Eccentric

Nicholas Kirkwood is known for his wildly distinguishable shoes. He is also a Brit, along with Christopher Bailey. Kirkwood designed a great pair of shoes for Rodarte's spring 2010 runway.
Here are some images of his line of shoes for Spring/Summer 2010. Some may be basic black, but they have a whole lot of kick in them to spice up your step. Others are neon green and hot fuschia... which makes quite the interesting combination. Kirkwood continues to make a shoe that can be classy and statement-making.

Burberry the Brit

Burberry is one of those iconic brands that has been around for ages and will stick with us for many more years to come. The company was founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry when he first designed the classic trench coat (originally for men). It is now headed by Christopher Bailey who has done a wonderful job of reinventing the brand while still keeping that London look. Here are some looks from the Spring 2010 Ready to Wear line for Burberry Prorsum.

This show focused mainly on draping, as you can see from the next couple of images. These looks also followed the pastel trend, which I happen to adore.




And lastly, the classic trench coat first designed by Mr. Thomas Burberry is shown here in a metallic draped form.

Would you look at those amazing shoes? My God! Thank you Christopher Bailey!
