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.
NEW YORK — Citigroup Inc. said Wednesday that board member Richard Parsons _ the former CEO of Time Warner _ will be taking over as chairman.
Parsons succeeds Win Bischoff, who became chairman in December 2007 after the company let go of its embattled CEO and chairman at the time, Charles Prince. The move is effective Feb. 23.

Bischoff is not putting himself up for re-election at the board's annual meeting this spring, and will retire later this year, Citigroup said.
The ailing bank has suffered five straight quarters of losses and received $45 billion in government aid as it struggles to stay afloat amid the credit crisis. Last week, the company said it would reorganize into two units as it reported a fourth-quarter loss of $8.29 billion.
Citigroup's board has been the target of much scrutiny among investors for allowing the bank to invest so heavily in the risky housing market.
As that criticism escalated over the past several weeks, so did speculation that Parsons _ one of the only directors with experience in both banking and leading a large company _ would become chairman.
Before helping negotiate Time Warner's merger with America Online in 2000 and serving as the new company's CEO and chairman, Parsons was chief executive and chairman of Dime Bancorp, a thrift bank, in the early 1990s.
Parsons was also an economic adviser on President Barack Obama's transition team.
Citigroup said separately in a filing Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission that top three executives _ including Bischoff _ have passed up bonuses. Bischoff, Chief Executive Vikram Pandit and Chief Financial Officer Gary Crittenden have declined incentive and retention awards that were offered to members of the bank's executive committee, Citi said.
Long-time board member Robert Rubin, a former U.S. Treasury Secretary, said earlier this month that he, too, would be retiring from Citigroup.
Citigroup shares rose 87 cents, or 31 percent, to $3.67 on Wednesday, before the announcement was made. In after-hours trading, shares were flat. The stock reached a 17-year low on Tuesday.
Yesterday we got a glimpse of the Reebok x Basquiat collection for f/w 09. When it comes to artist/sneaker collaborations ,I have to admit to a serious weakness for Basquiat.The sneakers are inspired by actual paintings and stay true to Basquiat 's somewhat erratic aesthetic,I love that the designers did not replicate the same graphic on each sneaker.More on the next page!
