Belted by The Webster

Before I left for Miami, I said to myself, "Ryan, you cannot leave Miami without visiting The Webster." I heard so many great things about The Webster; it was great to finally experience it. I took a walk to the second floor where I found Fashion Heaven: Marc, Prada, YSL, and, of course, Trussardi. My bf pointed towards this awesome zipper belt by Trussardi. I tired it on and once I knew it fit- it did not leave my sight and back to the Concrete Jungle we went.

Stay tuned for a store profile on The Webster coming soon!

Vacation Here I Come...

Two more days and I am off to South Beach for a mini vacation, which is long over do. I still have no clue what I am going to pack. I think my Jil Sander blazer from SS 09 should come with me- especially, since I have only worn it once. Although, South Beach can be a bit trashy they do have a lot of posh boutiques. I will be paying a visit to some boutiques in the area. Stay tuned...

Balenciaga's Asymmetric Warmth

For those who have never shopped on Browns- it's basically, a one-stop shop of all the luxuries you have ever wanted. I found this Asymmetric Wool Coat by Balenciaga over the weekend and I want it. I'll be dramatic and say it's the only thing I want to keep me warm this winter. Clearly, I am not the only one that feels this way because there are only three sizes available and none of them are mine. Story of my life!

Gucci's Little Pony

Back in August, I did a post on pony hair shoes entitled, "My Little Pony." I reckon, pony hair shoes are having a moment: Gucci, Comme Des Garcons, and Ann Demulemeester have all debuted furry shoes.

I have been a bit obsessed with a pair of Gucci leather and pony hair wingtip lace-ups. After waiting several anxious weeks for them to arrive- I FINALLY have them. They are quite comfy. These are by far one of my prettiest shoes I own. Gucci sure knows how to make a fine shoe.

Margiela Watch Necklace

Photography by Gigi Stoll for What He Wears

A few weeks ago, I went to Aloha Rag to pull for a shoot that I styled and will go live on What He Wears within the next few weeks. I saw this Watch Necklace by Margiela and had to make it apart of my story. The above image, is a still-life image I styled for the shoot, but decided to feature it as separate post. The necklace is available in both silver and gold.

The Local Firm's SPECTACLES

Back in August, I did a Designer Watch Profile on Swedish label: The Local Firm. On Tuesday, I was invited to preview the label's Spring 2010 Collection at their New York Showroom. Designer Axel Nyhage presented key pieces from the collection, which featured the softest tees ever, unlined blazers and denim. As I prepared to dash out of the showroom, running late as usual, he showed me an amazing pair frames. I tried them on and forgot how late I was- I instantly fell in lust. I assume I lusted so much he told me they were mine. The dark and bold thick grey frames inspired by 3D glasses and 80's electric beats bare no logos. Only on the inside of the arms do you see THE LOCAL FIRM and the style's name SHADOW.

Maison Margiela for Les Ateliers Ruby

Safety-helmets are kind of annoying and not attractive, which is why some people do not wear them. I'm not saying it's a justifiable reason because one should wear a helmet and not compromise life for beauty, which is the motto of luxury helmet manufacture Les Ateliers Ruby. Perhaps, skateboard kids and cyclist would be more inclined to wear a helmet if they were as cool as this limited edition Maison Martin Margiela helmet for Les Ateliers Ruby. With luxurious lambskin lining and distinctive drawings inspired by graffiti on the Maison actual window makes this retro inspired helmet kind of sick. Only 600 Pavilion style helmets were made worldwide.

If you are not familiar with Ruby helmets, they are manufactured by carbon fibers- a technology used in aerospace technology, which guarantees maximum strength and ultra-lightness.
