Thomas Wylde Boots

When I first saw these boots I thought they had a really nice shape and then I looked closer and realized that the studs were actually skull studs. How awesome is that? This is how skulls work for women, they are subtle and shiny. They add funk to a traditional style and they are as “rock and roll” as they come. These boots are by Thomas Wylde and you can buy them at Net-A-Porter. Thomas Wylde is a brand created by Paula Thomas, a British model-turned designer dedicated to high quality fashion. The brand is not very affordable but I really like the details in the line, they all go together and create a solid collection every season. For more on Thomas Wylde click here.

Loeffler Randall

Here are my two favorite pieces from Loeffler Randall’s Spring 2009 collection. Biker inspired jackets are still a strong trend, this one uses silver zippers to highlight the style. Jumpers are just starting to pick up as a style. I love women in jumpers but be sure to try them out before you buy them, not all jumpers are for everyone. This Loeffler Randall jumper has a boned bodice, side pockets and a leather belt, I haven’t seen it in person but this looks like a winner in my book. Check these and more of Loeffler Randall here.

Toast

Toast is a brand that designs apparel, accessories, home goods and footwear. Everything has a consistent timeless look with a spring look. These are all pieces that you can wear for years to come without looking outdated. Look at their leather bags, they are simple, functional are really versatile. Their coats and shirts are beautiful, I like the small details such as the cuffs and the length of the shirt. Check their online store here.

Genius Jones

Baby products are some of my favorite items to look for. There is so much out there and everything is equally adorable, it’s always hard to choose one thing. Genius Jones makes it even harder, they have the cutest and most creative collection of baby products. For example these baby sack with blue and brown animals on the left or the blankets with the prints. The hooded lion towel is awesome too, there were other animal towels available but I had to choose one. The knitted blue bird is also a really nice rattle toy for you baby. These item are all perfect gifts for babies or parents this holiday season.

Genius Jones has all sorts of products, if you are looking for baby products this will be a good place to start.

Matt Bernson comes to us again with great Fall styles in really beautiful leathers. This is a brand based in New York City who makes their line in an artisan workshop in the South of Brazil.
