Mode Snow

Gosh, I am totally loving these collabs between preppy brands and brilliant artists!! One of my favs, Keith Haring--who has been part of the street art movement since the early days of graffiti and making art "public and accessible," for all to enjoy by using the streets as galleries--has teamed up with Tommy Hilfiger to launch a limited edition footwear capsule collection. The result is a small collection named Footwear in limited edition, composed of sneakers and rain boots for men, women and kids, in a worldwide preview at colette. Sick pic of Haring working on the Berlin wall (above). And sweet rain boots to walk through slushy snow ;) To shop online: visit the dedicate website. Gosh, I am going to need a new closet... This launch could take place nowhere other than our Colette store in Paris. Here's the word from their newsletter: " Keith Haring , both artist and activist, has a habit of using his art to serve important social causes, supporting research and c...

Oooh so hot. The Hiromi Lace sneakers are the result from a collaboration between Married To The Mob mastermind Leah McSweeney, and of so Frenchy & oh so preppy Lacoste. They come in these two color ways, Copper and Lavender with lace overlay-sensual-and are now exclusively available on MTTB and Lacoste's e-stores!! And take note of the red sole detail, which takes it inspiration from renowned shoe designer Christian Louboutin: Personally, I am all about the Copper ( the new gold ).... ~Mayta

Copper is the new gold. I've been aching for a new pair of kicks. Surrounded by Nike's fluorescent kicks in Paris, mainly worn by middle schoolers, I had to surf around for some bling, and found my treasure... I'll just head to Colette, and hope they've go these sweeties: Otherwise, here's my fav online shopping site for Suprazzzz: Karmaloop.com - Global Concrete Culture rep code MD4993 at checkout for a discount!

Married To The Mob brings on Part II of Spring 2009 collection. So hot and sexy, it sells! But.... hey!!! OMG double G! This photo shoot session reminds me of some good old days... The mood, vibe, location---and may I say EVERYTHING---about the photography supporting the intro of MOB's Spring fabulo-delicious designs remind me of this good ol' home session shoot taken in Boston round 2005! Here's a shot in a Boston apt, with your everyday gal Mayta. That knitted hat rules. Its vine green here, but I also found it in a burgundy color... I just love this hat. Check out Goorin 's model, which is close to this one. The tank top with the scorpion--even though I am cancer-- is from Urban Outfitters. The kicks were pre-releases of Gravis ' summer sneakers. And those pants.... ooooh so sweet with their waist band. So athletic looking cargos! H&M woman! And so are the pin stripe baggies in the pic below. Rock baggy pinstripes with a wife beater and... Do YOU know the...

In Paris this mid-January? Then you can be amongst the few lucky ones who will enjoy an exclusive preview of the long awaited Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals collaboration . Visit Colette in Paris! The L.A. based designer is officially launching his line of Adidas Originals this February. I have been drooling over photographs in the meantime. Jeremy infused some of his hoodies and kicks with animal prints. He goes beyond the print with this hoodie in particular! You literally feel like you're wearing (and becoming) a leopard. Animal Prints--Why They Keep Coming Back: “Animal prints play off the idea of women being vixenish, wild, and fierce,” says Valerie Steele of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. So it’s no surprise that fashionistas have been spotted in the prints since the cave-dwelling days — though the trend is most strongly identified with the 50s and 60s, when it was favored by sultry pinup girls, like Bettie Page and Ann-Margret.

During the Paris trip, I just had to stop every other day at Colette . Amongst the goods this sick Parisian store carried, they included M.O.B , Pro-Keds , and so much more! To give you a sneak peek, check out this video from men.style.com (not to worry, the store carries the goods you ladies would crave). or this one from Concierge . Until January 10th only, Colette invites you for a free ride with 50% off discount flights to Fall Winter 2008 fashion !! For the first time, also take this opportunity on colette.fr .

Pro-Keds was established in 1949 as the athletic brother of Keds. The footwear line was then primarily geared towards basketball. Their first product was the classic Royal. The kick was a canvas basketball shoe in high and low tops and featured the distinctive red and blue power stripe towards the front/toe of the sneaker. As old time favorites make a come back, Pro-Keds has reintroduced the Royal Hi Canvas . Here it is for women, in white/yellow gradient. It is the women's version of the iconic Pro-Ked Royal. The Royal for women is available in Hi (as above), Low and Aristocrat. Check them out to see the entire range of models and colors! ~Mayta

You always gotta push it that tid bit further to be the queen of the bling. So here's a sweet wish list from miss Heidi: The rock star of watches, Nixon brings class act on time for the holidays: The Nixon Chalet Watch requires that you wear anything but a long sleeve shirt. I want it in Bamboo, of course. Next on my list, the excess of them all, I present the Kicker Fucker Chicken's super duper bling Madonna Ring ! Hey, small details matter... Ok, it's not really #2 on my wish list, but i thought it was funny: the ring is actually worn OVER your gloves! So if that's not X-Cess... what is?! Luv it. Next... let's get serious here. I want Gravis. Graaavviissss. The Gemini HC in either 80s print: Or Gemini HC in solid gold, baby! Not sure if it's the premium leather or the new PU Cloud 9 footbed... But with these, I will be in heaven. I think it's the mesh lined pockets... Naaaah!! Again, wild prints--gotta love them. Burton's Alana Duffel Bag in ...
