Jimmy Choo Capsule Collection For UGG. Some Cozy Couture Kickass Boots.

High fashion couture shoe designer Jimmy Choo has designed a capsule collection for UGG, the well-known Australian unisex fleece-lined sheepskin boots that people either love or hate.



The new Jimmy Choo & Ugg collection consists of six boots in various colors. Studded, grommeted and fringed, the boots are not for the subtle- or the thrifty. Zebra and Cheetah patterns, Gold and silver studs, stars and fringe embellish the mid calf boots which range in price from $495.00 to $795.00 USD.


The Mandah
The most expensive boot in the collection is the Mandah. A myriad of silver and gold grommets, rivets and domed studding cover the entire black boot in glittering detail giving it a fashionable, graphic Jimmy Choo attitude.





The Siobhan
The Siobhan is the least expensive of the line at $495. A charcoal colored Donegal Cable knit cashmere blend boot detailed with antique nickel studs, lamb suede fringe detailed with antique nickel double faced studs for Jimmy Choo flair.





The Kaia
The $595 Kaia has the Classic UGG® boot silhouette with a glamorous Jimmy Choo twist of leopard lamb suede print with grommet and domed studs in an antique finish. Available in Leopard, Zebra and Charcoal Zebra.







The Starlit
Also priced at $595, The Starlit has a rock star edge. All over silver stars are featured on black lamb suede and antique brass stars on chestnut lamb suede with a Silkee Suede fringe detail.




The Sora
The Sora, priced at $695, has a top-cuff, chic Jimmy Choo feature detail on two layers of Silkee Suede fringe, a silver star studded trim on black lamb suede and antique brass star studded trim on chestnut and chocolate lamb suede decorate both tall and Classic boot models.

Move Over Silly Bands, Here's Some Sexy Bands For Grown-Ups.

If you haven't heard of silly bandz, you've either not come in contact with anyone under the age 20 in the past month or you live under a rock. As a matter of fact, the trend is so large that today The Daily What via joystiq has a post about the upcoming Silly Bandz Nintendo DS game from Zoo Games.



And even the technician at my dermatologist was wearing them last week.


above: children are stacking, trading and collecting Silly Bands like crazy

"Silly Bands" are the term given to shaped rubber bands that people have begun wearing as bracelets. The animal and object shaped colorful rubber bands have become collectible, traded and worn in multiples on the arms of kids and adults alike.



But if you want a little more adult version (or to compete with your children), Kikkerland has designed them in the shape of four different Kama Sutra positions- shown above on the wrist and below.



Made of silicone and sold 24 to a package (six of each design).

Human Crayons, Plaster Heads & Lip Jewelry By Designer Heli Hietala

I have already shared with you the fabulous carved crayola crayons by Diem Chau. Now, here's another artist/designer who has crafted human-shaped colored crayons.



COLOURS by designer Heli Kristina Hietala are crayons shaped as the human figure. The intent was to show the results of involvement between characters and how communication can range from soft, stimulating, balancing or dirtying (the designers words), depending upon the character which is chosen.

For the 2005 project, she created about 100 crayons, packed in 10 boxes which contain 10 pieces each.





Heli uses the human form, head and facial characteristics in several of her other unusual works as well. Her 2009 "Spirits of Medicine" consist of 30 plaster cast heads, each placed in medical prescription bottles.




And some of her jewelry designs incorporate castings of full feminine lips like the bracelet and tin rings shown below:

Now, fun new glossy plastic storage bins, officially licensed by Lego® and made exclusively for STORE, are available in 9 fun colors.
