When craftsmanship combines with iconic design there is reason for celebration. Carlos Alberto has hand-built a wooden Vespa, and the result is simply magnificent. A work of art indeed. (Via CB).

Etsy is like a never-ended treasure trove, the best part being the items handmade by its members. I’m pretty much 110 percent over the whole woodlandcreature-in-silhouette trend, but this swan-themed clutch by U.K.-based member RedRubyRose somehow rises above the feathered-fray. Rose hand sews these framed clutches, using both vintage fabrics and custom-made fabric featuring her own designs and photographic images. Oh cheez, Mami, save a little creativity for the rest of us peons!

This AFII Premium falls somewhere between grown and sexy and young and fly. Pretty much every dude that has seen this shoe this week has offered to buy the laces, and I've been telling 'em "no doubt, fam. Buy the laces and I'll give you this shoe free!" There is something about that deep green and red combo that just does it so official. People still been sleeping on that AFII High-its the closest to a boot style set up where you can tuck your denim or cargo pants into 'em-a la East Coast Timbs style.

I'm not personally all flashy like this, but I can definitely admire the dude that can pull this off because this is on some super duper fly-guy ish. The rave pink safari pattern is not in-your-face pink, and I feel like if you need to pull it back on the explosive color factor, then you can lace it up with some black laces instead. There is also a frosted clear outsole. I understand that sometimes grown and sexy needs to make way for young and fly.
