Bottega Veneta Spring 2010

Check out Bottega Veneta's 2010 Spring collection.

We wanted to offer clothes that are particularly individualistic. Changing the shape of the pants and breaking the silhouette with color add an energy, even a brashness, that feels invigorating

says the Bottega dude. Fine.




Man totes are not cool. Besides, it is too stressful to maintain a full leather manbag.


Dude. I can see your nipples. Not cool. Not cool at all.

but I cannot take my eyes off of it

you're just too good to be true... can't take my eyes off of you you'll be like heaven to touch. I wanna hold you so much

ok. Getting too gay.

I'm referring to this classic hit from Lauryn Hill. I liked it so much that I wrote down the lyrics on the wrapper of a gift for shuyi years back. I don't do the whole lyrics thing you see very commonly in blogs (emo AND lame), but yea I did that. Shuyi (who never throws stuff away) still have that wrapper somewhere.

Anyway, on with the program.

I particularly like the jacket of the left. A fantastic take on the varsity jacket with a play on the silhouette. Brown is a safe colour and it appears to be the theme for BV this season but this design can do well in other colours as well.

picnic basket + strap + model = win

You can replace the scarf (BV scarves should be pretty rape-ass expensive) with something that have a local vibe. How about a good morning towel?

With some confidence, you ca surely pull it off and get some approving nods along the way. Either that or mocking sniggers, which with some ego, brush off and view as ignorance.

And the no-socks loafers look i'm trying to pull off since my italy trip is so cool.

damn i need to get them loafers
