Eco-friendly cork umbrella!
Lets share some trivia…did you know 50% of the world's cork is produced in Portugal. So the fact that the big sized cork umbrella came from Portugal by designer Sandra Correia isn’t surprising but definitely impressive. Using this material not only means it’s water-resistant, (isn’t that a given when it comes to an umbrella) but also eco-friendly.
Hello Kitty celebrates her 35th Anniversary by sporting a replica of Malia Obama's dress
It seems that Hello Kitty is a fan of Barack Obama, well at least of Malia Obama. Our favorite kitty will be celebrating her 35th birthday with the help of first daughter, Malia. Rumor has it that this cute little toy icon will sport a recreation of the pink lace dress by Necessary Objects that Malia wore on August 29, 2008, at the Democratic National Convention. The dress is so pretty and it will make its debut in a Hello Kitty book this spring. While the world runs behind this cat, she is a fan of Malia. How lucky! If you like Hello Kitty, you should totally check out the Hello Kitty iPhone cases we featured a while back.
Jeremy Scott and Adidas make a mouse trap for your feet with the Mickey Hi
Be happy to hear that Jeremy Scott and Walt Disney© officially teamed up with adidas Originals to bring us Mickey Mouse on our feet. The Mickey Hi was originally created for Jeremy Scott’s Fall/ Winter 2009 runway show, titled “Mouse Trap”. It is inspired by the vintage adidas model, the Eldorado, where Jeremy Scott has incorporated elements of Mickey Mouse. It's not a argument that cartoons have made their presence felt in the fashion world lately, be it on your t-shirt or high tops. I would love to slip my feet into these limited edition high tops. I'll have to wait till April 1 for them to hit the stores at a price of €180. And, no I'm never tool old for Disney Characters.

Fashion week fever is taking over the globe like nothing else. There is so much fashion around we couldn’t help but get you this very interesting piece of read. I don’t wanna be judgmental but this display at the Ukrainian Fashion Week caught our attention for not very good reasons. The model is wearing an outfit by a Ukrainian designer during the show of a Joint Project of Ukrainian Fashion Week and Olena Franchuk "ANTIAIDS" Foundation in Kiev, Ukraine.

Kate Moss sports a stunning dress made out of recycled mosquito nets
Who wants to wear a dress made from recycled mosquito nets? Kate Moss it seems. This gorgeous blue dress with strange material created by William Tempest for Sports Relief 2010's commitment to tackling malaria certainly made people do a double take. It goes without saying that the lovely supermodel really pulled off the dress well. he one-off piece, to be auctioned, has been sculptured and corseted in Tempest’s signature style with individual panels sewn together for a mosaic effect, and there's no way you won't appreciate the design. Kate Moss really wants to promote the cause and spread the message that an insecticide-treated mosquito net is one of the easiest and most cost-effective methods of preventing the spread of malaria.
Tennis Shoes from Yonex without the hassle of shoelaces
I personally hate tying shoe laces, it's such a hassle. I wish I had a personal robot that would go around typing my shoe laces. Since that's still not possible, we have this new pair of tennis shows from Yonex that eliminates the need for tying laces. here is a dial on the side of the shoes which you only need to turn to wear or take off, making it convenience to slip in and out of. The Power Cushion Wide 1000 and Power Cushion Wide 2000 would cost you $185.
Teva Footwear brings you flip-flops with flashlights
I love flip-flops, that's my choice of footwear. It just doesn't get more comfortable than this. Teva Footwear has a slight twist on this though. It is a micro suede boutique plushie sandal with a built-in headlamp (detachable) that lights you the light no matter where you are. It will be very useful when you go on your long walks on the beach. This fancy surf-wear comes in both synthetic and leather finishes (for $50 and $60), and the LED-powered lamps are waterproof. Your feet will love you for this.

Martel Music Backpack for the adventurous spirit
The Martel Music Backpack is everything a technology-loving, living-life-on-the-edge kinda girl would want. UK fashion brand TOG24 has unveiled this wonderful and practical backpack.

The Martel Music Backpack sells for $44.60.
Big Bra demands increase in UK!
The trends in bras are changing shape rapidly, and quite literally so. Apparently, Selfridges of London has come out with figures illuminating the fact that sales of bras with cup sizes D to G have risen by 50 percent year-after-year since 2005. and not just that, Selfridges even carries a K-cup bra by Fantasie; and a K-cup bra is anything but small being whopping four feet around; each cup coming in at one and half foot at its widest point. Now that’s seriously big. The K-cup is perceptibly too big a size, good thing that Selfridges has got new offerings in the D to E range plus a much needed 30 percent increase in stock. The increment in stock can be credited to the increase of the average bra size in the UK which is now a 36D judged against a 34B only a decade ago.
Peacocks selling replica of Chloe Bag!
Satchels are sassy and so in demand. I am no fashion expert but going by the way peacock is selling the replica of Chloe's 'Louise' bag like hot cakes there is certainly a very obvious trend emerging. High Street store Peacocks has unveiled its own version and tasted the success with the first 5,000 satchels being sold out within 48 hours. It has gained so much popularity giving Peacocks a chance to place its largest-ever order of handbags which is a whopping 120,000.
Sneaker Jean Women's Denim By Tripp NYC makes a bold style statement
I think skinny jeans are the thing to wear. But they have got to be trendy and classy too. I think this Sneaker Jean Women's Denim By Tripp NYC is kind of stylish in a tacky way. I think the design is a tad overdone. It is a modern 5 pocket stretch skinny with zipper and shoe lace details down front with a zip-fly and button closure. It looks like it might look good on the run-way or in the trailer park and no where in between. Maybe it's simply not my style, fashion does happen to be relative. These wild pants can be yours for $74 at KarmaLoop. It's good for someone sporting a punk or rebellious attitude.
Paul Smith Wallet is too pink for men
Paul Smith men’s fluorescent pink mock croc leather billfold wallet with a raised Paul Smith signature logo on the front would be quite cool, if it was for girls. I don't quite buy into the trend of men sporting pink, this is a girl's color. I don't like the metrosexual fad at all. Anyway, if men insist on having this girly color on them, the wallet holds up to eight cards, and on either side there is a slot pocket underneath. It also has a large compartment for notes lined in black stripe fabric. It's available herefor $210 for all those interested.
