Alexander McQueen for Puma - Fall 2011

The Alexander McQueen legacy continues into Fall 2011 for Puma with three styles of footwear. Highlighted by these zip-in, super high tops, the collection is characterized by premium materials and an acute attention to detail. Look for these at select retailers this fall, and know that this is still not the last of the Puma McQueen series.

All in the eyes

Leonardo Da Vinci's 500-year-old Renaissance masterpiece has long been steeped in mystery, and even today the true identity of the woman with the alluring smile still far from certain.
Now members of Italy's National Committee for Cultural Heritage have revealed that by magnifying high resolution images of the Mona Lisa's eyes letters and numbers can be seen.
"To the naked eye the symbols are not visible but with a magnifying glass they can clearly be seen," said Silvano Vinceti, president of the Committee.

Cool advertising.

So many had these wallets in Japan. Me likely

INTRECCIATO ZIP WALLET

Founded in 1966, Bottega Veneta is especially famed for its Intrecciato woven leather products. German-born designer Tomas Maier heads the Italy-based label, with his sophisticated and understated creations its signature. For a super-confident statement every time you make a payment, choose the brand's zip wallet. Plaited leather exterior announces its provenance to the cognoscenti; eight credit-card slots, bill divider and coin compartment precisely segregate your means. Approximate size: 7.5 x 4.25 x 1.25”(19 x 11 x 3cm).

Sigh.
