A Détacher Fall 2010
As I’ve stated before I don’t generally post about Fashion Week because it’s covered ad nauseum everywhere else, but because I’ve been largely disappointed in what I’ve seen so far for fall in NY this year, I was pretty excited when I saw A Détacher’s collection (♥ A Détacher-own a pair of booties that are some favourites) . It’s full of texture and warm neutral tones with some lapis blue thrown in. I’ve never been a huge fan of blue-I just don’t think about wearing it that much, but I have to say the jewel tone colour presented in this collection makes me want to wear it a ton more! What do you guys think-do you like blue?
Wow. Every piece from A Piece Apart’s S/S 2010 collection is subtle perfection. NYC based Laura Cramer and Starr Hout have created a line that can go anywhere and be worn with anything. I quite like the play between the deep jewel tones and pale neutrals in the latest collection-it sort of epitomizes summer for me. Gorgeous stuff. (Thanks to Hey Susy for the heads-up on this label!)

One of my favourite blogs, gotasalviento, is completely responsible for this find (Nazara always posts the best stuff). While there isn’t a lot of info about the shop itself, from what I can gather by browsing the site, Arts&Science is a Japanese shop that not only has its own line of clothing and accessories, but carries other designers (Berlin label Hut Up looks fantastic) as well. They seem to have quite the presence as I noticed they have brick-and-mortar locations in several cities. The pieces are the kind of items you can wear for years because they’re simple, beautifully constructed, and timeless. Honestly? This is A++ perfection.

Yes guys, it’s time to start thinking about summer footwear. As I’m perpetually on the hunt for wedges and flats that don’t make me look like your friendly neighborhood bridge troll, I was happy to discover former industrial designer turned footwear designer, Martha Davis. I’m loving the neutral colours with the occasional splash of teal, and there’s something classic about the silhouettes of all of her shoes. Stockists are listed on the website, and you can view the two previous collections as well
Alas, I’ve returned to my beloved neutrals, although there is a digital print thrown in courtesy the Pelican Avenue top. I’m mostly indifferent to the combat boots trend, but particularly like Acne’s flat version. I think I’d throw a chunky cream scarf over top all of this, too. Have a great weekend all!
