Church's presents the "Stratford" shoe for the London Olympics

I would never thought I would ever be into any of the endless special editions of merchandise created for the London 2012 Olympics. But then again we're not talking about 'merchandise' here. Church's is presenting this month their new shoe – the "Stratford" – exclusively designed for the Olympics. The collection will include 17 colour combinations. They will all be available at the brand's flagship store on Regent Street, which will be transformed into a Olympic pop-up shop for the occasion.
The whole concept of the shoe was to create something casual – imagine a pair of Doctor Martens, only lighter, slicker and incredibly well made. And, in line with this season's trends, the whole line is about pops of colour and contrast between the upper, the sole and the welt (see here if you don't speak shoe).
I am very interested in seeing what the other 12 models are like, Church's is always coming up with genius ways of updating the classics.

Put the goose in the corner

It's that special time of the year when we start (or keep on) adding things to the list of what we want for Christmas. And it's also the time for capsule collections to be launched. One of the most exciting ones around is the one that Golden Goose has created exclusively for theCorner.com. “Journey around the Corners” includes two very cool printed scarves, two t-shirts and a special edition of their "Francy" and "Superstar" sneakers. It's the latter ones that I am in love with. The aged suede and the worn out black of the laces gives them such a brilliant vintage look. I also love the thecorner.com logo on the inside together with the zip, which makes the shoes quite versatile as you can wear them as normal high-tops of as sort of slip-ons.
Check out the rest of the collection at their website and also take a look at the rest of the FW10 collection, the knitwear is not to be missed!

Lacoste x Peanuts

I don't know about you but Lacoste polo shirts have always been present throughout my life. I'd wear them every summer when I was younger, so they kind of meant fun and holiday. As I grew up I still wore them but they had become a comfortable and stylish piece of clothing by then. I feel like the Lacoste x Peanuts collection brings back that element of fun that polo shirts used to have for me. The two designs on top are, by far my favourites because one (left) stays true to the traditional logo but adds a twist and the other one (right) completely messes up the composition. They are sold exclusively at Dover Street Market since October. So run for your life!
