LOTC: +J for Uniqlo Spring Summer 2011

I remember when Uniqlo launched in NYC a few years ago.  What was this edgy yet classic Japanese cool Gap presenting great options for Luxing it on the Cheap (LOTC)?  Over the years I've picked up a few great cashmere basics (during an awesome Black Friday sale) and have been really intrigued by their collaboration with Jil Sander.

+J for Uniqlo is Jil Sander's ongoing collection for the company.  It embodies "pure sophisticated design, dedicated to quality and innovation" that "underlines the beauty of a personality."  I appreciate the clean cuts, attention to detail, and almost sculptural chic lines.  It translates both the Jil Sander and Uniqlo spirit at an affordable price point.

Spring & Summer 2011 is for "modern nomads who seek the sublimes in full day light."  The collection launched in stores Jan. 26.  I want that last silk tank top ($39.90) and all the dresses.  They are super simple yet styling.   The brighter colored dresses won't be available until March.
Prices range from: outerwear - $149.90 - $229.90, dresses - $129.90, and knitwear - $59.90 - $229.90.  Fortunately Uniqlo is in Singapore so I'm hoping there are pieces in the store this weekend!

What do you think of this collection?

Sexy boots for the wedding and after!

So I've seen a few people with awesome cowboy boots for their weddings (or they plan to Mountain Bride, are you one of them?)

But I was browsing through Barney's today and thought, whoa about white wedding boots? Comfy looking and sexy too!

This is also so hot too - love all the folds! Ok maybe not for the wedding - but talk about a statement shoe...Jil Sander folded knee boot - $1895

Le sigh. To be rich and have a huge shoe collection...
