Can I Kick It?

SS12 wow! I have to admit that we are surprised to see many of the premiere fashion houses finally sporting yummy sneakers. Ah hem..(clears throat) they are calling it Sports-Luxe — which was the standout trend on this season's catwalks. As beautiful as they are we might just stick with our Dunks, Pumas, Converse or my precious Sam Edelman Cori Sherpa High Top Sneakers.

 

Word on the Street

I don't have many rituals, but one thing that I find myself doing many Sundays is watching On the Street as a I enjoy a relaxed breakfast. Produced by Joanna Nikas and Simone S. Oliver, On the Street is the audio version of Bill Cunningham's weekly spread for The New York Times that features his candid commentary and street photography. With images from here and there Manhattan,  but often 5th Avenue and throw in excursions elsewhere, namely Paris — it is truly visual feast for the eyes.

Warning: Be careful it is addictive. Enjoy!

Clutching Care

Rock a clutch while spreading compassion and aiding the world through Rachel Roy's charitable platform, “Kindness is always fashionable.” We agree!

Fashionable designer, Rachel Roy has collaborated with OrphanAid Africa to raise awareness about the non-profit charity and honor the West African nation at the same time.

Aptly named the Ghana clutch,  it features the quote from Amelia E. Barr and colours are taken from the country’s flag and washed “for a softer effect,” Roy explains. “The fabric is natural and raw; love the balance of the two.”

The best part? 100% of net profits from sales will benefit OrphanAid, which helps Ghana’s orphans through programs in care reform, education and development.

Get involved.
