The DVF Loves Roxy capsule is almost here, and Kelia and Monyca wear [and sell] the bikinis well. I was able to sneak a peak at the collection last Fall, and it is so darn cute. Both Roxy and DVF have blended their individual identities well to create special pieces.
Watch Diane share her inspiration here and pick up the collection on 3/7.

Well, that looks pretty nifty. I saw this piece in store the other day, and was immediately drawn to it, probably because it has so many bells and whistles. The store associates made my friend try it on, then took a picture of her it in to show its reflectivity. She glowed like a super hero, so cool. There seems to be mixed reviews on it, but it seems like a matter of preference. I’d say it is heavier than I’d prefer for running, and it also costs about a dollar per degree of reflectivity. To each his own.
Available at Lululemon.
It’s been a minute since Raf Simons and Eastpak had their latest collab., and I think these are the best ones yet. Compared to their previous seasons, this is super simple and clean enough to highlight the fabric instead of the design. Dropping sometime in June.
The Australian Open is in full swing and evidently this year’s dress code is yellow. Most of the color is courtesy of adidas, but I always enjoy observing seasonal palettes in individual sports, as opposed to just fashion in general. In addition to the sunny hues, purple showed up nicely on the ladies’ side. Also, despite the Aussie having a blue hard court, someone always seems to show up matching the arena. You’d think that brands and designers* would avoid it for that major, but it happens. Check out the guys after the jump. Read More
Rough rider business going on here. Combat meets road warrior. I love the gilled/skull-like muzzle.
Coming soon from Bell.
Lacoste Lab has just released their latest round of goodies for 2013. Although it was started in the name of innovation, I’ll confess that I still don’t completely understand the concept behind the program. Don’t mind looking though. Available at the always fabulous Colette.
You guys, I’m bursting with excitement for this launch. Although it doesn’t technically launch until tomorrow, Jan. 10th, the lookbook is available, so take a gander. Having had the opportunity to work first-hand on this line was an absolute pleasure, and I wish Roxy the best of success on it.

Colored neoprene dreams, people. Particularly loving the bottom left. Reminds me that I should probably start giving my own wetsuit some attention again…

Week 17 of the regular season is tomorrow [sad day!], but these NFL goodies just dropped at Forever 21 this week. Who says you can’t rep your team year round? Not all teams are up online, but I did see more options in store. If anyone in St. Louis wants to ship me a Rams pullover, get at me. Please and thank you.
Paul Lukas, of ESPN and Uni-Watch, recently interviewed Under Armour designer Adam Clement, the man behind this polarizing look. Clement basically has a hand in all uniform or on-field product, and, as someone who’s in the same field, I’m all ears when it comes to designers sharing their vision and design process. This quote from Clement is a personal reminder I’ve found myself repeating often over the years:
“When you do a project like this, you always want to go a little further than maybe you’re even comfortable with yourself, and then you can bring it back a little. I always have to remember that I am not the target audience.”
So much easier said than done. Take a few minutes and read for yourself: Part 1, Part 2, Bonus
