Proenza Schouler PS11 Tiny Crossbody Bag
“Proenza Schouler is a brand that has followed a very lucrative handbag pattern, road-tested by innumerable other handbag brands in the past: fine a few basic bags that people love and then capitalize on their success for seasons to come by remaking them in different sizes, proportions and structures. Proenza’s primary example of this strategy is the PS1, of course – it comes in every version imaginable, from a billfold to a weekender. The PS11, Proenza’s follow up to the company’s ever-popular handbag debut, hasn’t appeared in quite as many versions, but that seems to be changing. The bag you see above is literally called the Proenza Schouler Tiny PS11 Crossbody!” (via PurseBlog). The strategy seems to be working pretty well: the new Tiny PS11 is already available on Bergdorf Goodman store.

Surface to Air Fly Parka SS 2013
To be quite honest, I woud prefer to write posts about new swimsuit brands (like Acacia) or even tees.

This light weight military inspired Fly parka by French brand Surface to Air does the job. It is pretty well-designed and available in both black and kaki. I would personally go for the kaki model.
