The Sartorialist Files: Sperry x J. Crew Chino Boat Shoes

If you are new to my blog - PAY ATTENTION please. If you are an old member you can duly inform the newer followers of my obsession with boat shoes. I am counting down the days until winter bids us adieu for another two seasons and the dryer weather which supports sockless boat shoes descends upon us. These new Chino boat shoe by J. Crew and Sperry have a special bit of character due to their color, distressed/worn-in nature and almost corduroy like appearance. They retail for about $118 and are tantalizing me to purchase a pair when they are released.

Claw hearts you!!

One of my favorite brands, Claw Money dropped her Spring collection last week entitled “Claw Loves you”. This collection is giving me everything I need and more! I already copped the leggings and the “your brain on claw” tank and they would go perfect with those cool mint air max's (shown below). Thanks US Treasury for giving me my tax return early!

only available at www.clawmoney.com

Stay Cool

If I had a choice of what my sneakers would be for the spring, these would definitely be it! The neutral tones and that hint of cool mint definitely scream spring! These are now now at your local sneaker spot.

PF Flyer Rambler

PF Flyers has been carving their niche in the sneaker/fashion world by pulling out their archival classics and putting some fine new details in, usually in terms of high end materials and interesting colors. This time they've taken the 1943 Rambler and kept it true to style with most of the updates being inside the shoe. In case you don't know, the PF stands for "Posture Foundation", and this time they've added a sole insert that makes this classic shoe extra comfortable. The insert has an antimicrobial moisture-wicking wedge, new EVA molded wedge, and a gel-injected heel for increased cushioning and comfort. That's what I call using new school technology for good! Imagine if Converse started doing this with Chucks? I could actually wear them!

Cloud 10 Status: Joyce iPhone Cases

Man 2010 has already started off with a bang..Kanye has launched his new, revamped blog over at www.kanyewest.com and now every designer seems to be intent on outdoing one another. Its no surprise then to see the iPhone cover/case game constantly going on cosmic journeys to the next level. JOYCE (a Hong Kong based company) decided to take some of the biggest names in fashion and employ them to create their own uniquely designed iPhone cases to be sold as a set.





According to Highsnobiety "After last season’s incredibly successful Truly Gifted program, in which they collaborated with Alexander McQueen to create an exclusive USB stick for JOYCE, they invited more designers to participate in their largest promotional program of the season. Designers from Rick Owens, Dries Van Noten, Marni, Etro, Bless and Anna Sui specially designed limited iPhone cases for Hong Kong’s JOYCE."

My hands down favorite has to be the rock shaped phone by Bless that joint made my jaw drop all over my computer table...LITERALLY..
