As I was looking for a new pair of round eyeglasses, I discovered Barton Perreira (website).

Style, elegance and luxury are the keys at Barton Perreira. Though she designs frames for both men and women, Patty Perreira is known for her uniquely feminine take on the classics. The sleek lines and vivid colors of her glasses are unmistakably chic… She founded Barton Perreira with Bill Barton (the former CEO of Oliver People, another big player in this industry). Prices goes approximately from $200 to $450. Read the rest of this entry »

I think a trench coat is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can get. You can wear it with almost anything, to go to work, whenever it rains, with a tied or loosed belt, with collar up or down. The possibilities are multiplied by the genius of Balenciaga with this reversible cotton and leather trench coat stored at Mr Porter. The piece itself is absolutely simple with hidden front buttons and no apparent useless detailing. However, the inside is fully lined with black cotton and leather so you can wear it reversed for a more grungy look ! How brilliant. Take a closer look after the break! Read the rest of this entry »

Mismo is a brand we’ve been following for a while for its styled and minimalist backpacks. Here is the iconic backpack from last season’s Mismo collection. Made from heavy duty, plain woven Italian canvas and is all lined with cotton. In-cre-dibleee! Still available on Très bien Shop.

Alexandre Mattiussi used his name’s initials to create a really nice collection of “clothes for the real life“. We think Ami is really coherent: although the (French) label was created last year, the result is already well executed and the whole collection makes a lot of sense.

The whole looks like a hip parisian bourgeois with clean, simple essentials : a trench, a cardigan, some clean blazers… Strange that I missed this one for so long… Looks like they are headed for success and I see that they already have resellers all around the world!

Kanye West renews his collaboration with Nike with the Nike Air Yeezy 2. Although I usually like retro Jordan sneakers (and I’m not a huge fan of recent Jordan releases), I really digg this futurist wolf grey and pale lime soled pair of shoes. They will be available on April 13 so you’d better start camping in front of a Nike store if you want to make sure you get one. Tomorrow will be to late already ! Read the rest of this entry »
