Ruald Rheeder Live Dream Desire

 My dear readers, please pardon the last couple slow weeks! I have always been dedicated to this sexy little space of mine on the internet and nothing will ever change that! And PS. I have checked out the stats and I am more surprised than ever before -- just under a thousand visits in a month! Let's get it! To the visitors, please please please subscribe to follow. Your support is greatly appreciated and highly coveted. 

 Now that's out of the way, during my earlier days of launching this blog, I went on and on in a post about how much I admire Ruald Rheeder's designer eye and it's that much more perfect just because he addresses the style of my personal taste -- casual, street-smart, urban, contemporary looks. He delivered once again in this ready-to-wear Live Dream Desire 2011 summer collection for YDE. All home grown, baby. South African through and through. 

 Pay attention to the impeccable fit, the colour palette although not the most vibrant for the typical and contemporary menswear summer still delivers, I find, and the craftsmanship from here really looks quite thorough.

A friendly reminder of what's in store over at our good friends, Acne! Take a look at what the Autumn/Winter line has in store. Very clean, very chic and casual! Great shoes too!

Alfie Flats by Christian Louboutin

I really did not expect this collaboration! And I love when I am surprised! Isn't that the whole point of fashion and style? Artistry and the like? Yes, Gareth Thomas and Christian Louboutin have come up with a line of  sneakers called Alfie Flats. A cool $895/ZAR 6,265 will make the shoes yours. Of course, complete with that signature red sole that everybody is eating up right now! 

However, here's a photo shoot of the two from earlier in the year. Eat up the shoes in these shots! I'm sure you all know by now how much I love the Freddy Las Vegas styled pair so my loyalties need not be questioned!
