S.uper S.exy S.urfer S.tyle

When I was about 8 years-old I wandered into the local skate/surf shop. I instantly spied Mr. Zog’s Sex Wax and curious as I was I asked what it was for. The shop worker smiled and replied “It’s for your stick”. O.M.G. you can only imagine the confusion in my little mind.

So, I never took up surfing but since the day’s of Jimmy’Z denim and neoprene fashions, we’ve always had a hankering for the fashions of wave riders. The body con silhouettes, bold color-blocking, heavy duty hard-ware and stitch details of a surfers uniform lend perfect details for everyday wear. This Summer be bold with pieces taking influence from those that hang-10 and you’ll be hanging tough clad in a neoprene dream. Whether you get inspired by actual surfer’s garb…why not rock a rash guard with a mini and heels?  Or go the design inspired route with ankle booties from Pierre Hardy, you’ll be happy to try something new. If your coordination is best left to surfing the “www” and not the open seas, you’re in luck this season because you can dress the part of a Big Kahuna without the fear of a wipe out.

Miss Techcessories: Retro Chic Flip Clock On Legs

Have you ever waken up in the middle of the night and been blinded by the LCD of your digital alarm clock?  Don’t you just hate how those numbers glare at you menacingly, reminding you you only have a few more hours until you have to be up?  How about you throw it out (or give it to a clock-less friend) and “downgrade” to something a little more vintage, like this flip clock on legs designed by Michael Daniel.  Normally, I don’t trust people whose last name could also be a first name, but I’ll make an exception this time because this clock perfectly merges modern design with old technology.  The best part, though, is that when the numbers flip over it actually looks like the clock is moving towards you.  At $88 it’s a little on the pricey side, but it’s cheaper than hopping on eBay and trying to get an old-timey flip clock.  Available now at Urban Outfitters.

The A.P.C. x Nike Collaboration of the reissue of Nike’s 1975 “All Court” is now available. As part of A.P.C.’s Spring SS09 collection, the “All Court” fits perfectly with A.P.C.’s aesthetic of classic, quality basics. The “All Court” is a all canvas sneaker offered in three color-ways and get this…sizes start at a men’s 4, wow! Get ours on-line here.

Marc Jacobs revealed his pre-fall collection for Louis Vuitton and it’s definitely got a 1940’s swing feel to it.  Inspired by a book of wartime fashion, MJ came up with a collection that is flirty and feminine, yet strong and bold at the same time.  I absolutely adore the silhouettes from the 1940s and MJ certainly does them justice with his luxurious interpretations.  His black cocktail dress is timeless and elegant, and his wool trousers and school boy jackets are sophisticated and charming.  They’re the kind of pieces I want in my closet and would look great season after season.  I’m also loving how the clothing was styled - the trouser socks, belt, the head pieces, fur, gloves and brooches -  all complete the retro look.  No close ups yet on the accessories (but from here those shoes are looking pretty insane!) but we’ll keep you up to date on those all-important pieces.

The ladies of M.I.S.S. wish you the happiest of holidays!
