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!
