TIMBER!!!

26 August, 2013 Laytee Samida

Timberlands. Timbs, as they are affectionately called, have always been a staple in men’s closets. However, I’m starting to notice them slowly popping up in women’s closet, especially the clutch and classic 6-inch wheat nubuck color boot that has been seen on the likes of Kortney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian Odom, Rihanna, and even the infamous Blue Ivy Carter.

I’ve been itching to get myself a pair to rock with some baggy jeans and simple fitted white tee for a chic little tomboy flair. I was all set on just going ahead and copping the nubuck until I saw that you can customize you a pair. Say, what?! Yes, you can customize your own pair of Waterville boot, including colors and even monogramming your initials on the tongue and heel.

I designed a nice and sleek navy blue upper with white and black details that I plan to order when this hot and humid summer ends and my feet will be more open to other shoe options other than flip flops and more flip flops. However, I need to cop a classic nubuck pair first….as should you!

Converse x CLOT

23 August, 2013 Laytee Samida

Converse launched the Converse UNDFTD x CLOT Chuck Taylor All Star, ushering in a new joint collaboration between Converse and two longstanding First String partners Undefeated and CLOT. The sneaker collection consists of two styles that combine iconic elements from each brand, fusing Undefeated’s military and sport-driven ethos with CLOT’s lens on Eastern and Western urban lifestyle culture.

The Converse UNDFTD x CLOT Chuck Taylor All Star collection focuses on material and design as a source of expression with the use of sateen nylon and orange silk. Sateen nylon is a favorite material from the Undefeated arsenal inspired by the classic MA1 flight jacket. The sneaker is accented with orange outsole detailing and finished off with an orange silk lining developed by CLOT — adding a touch of luxury. Designed with an innovative zip-up lace guard woven into the upper, the sneaker is available in black and olive colorways.

The Converse UNDFTD x CLOT Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers will be available starting Saturday, August 24 at JUICE in Hong Kong and UNDFTD in Las Vegas for $120USD.

I Need ‘Clove’

22 August, 2013 Laytee Samida

Seriously, boot weather needs to hurry up, because I’m sick of sandals and dare say my collection of staple flip flops. I’m oh so ready to select a pair of warm and shiny boots to wear. Personally, I would love for these Jeffrey Campbell boots to be at the top of the list. Aren’t they fab?!

Jeffrey Campbell’s Clove boots are a shiny military-style boot complete with buckles and zippers. However, what really makes this boot so swoonful is the hidden wedge. Yes, ladies (and gents), there is a 3 1/2 inch hidden wedge that takes this boots to the top of my boot wishlist.
