sos ::

Jane from Sea of Shoes announced her collab with Urban Outfitters yesterday on her blog...



i love the lace up boot...but the rest? doesn't remind me of Jane, at all... huge fan of 17 year old Jane and her style, and mostly her ability to acquire such expensive pieces... i would expect more from this collab, but im sure the pull back was on UO's end...

share ::

Kanye West, who will be touring with Lady Gaga in the fall, admits that he won't be able to out due her in the fashion department.

""I can't compete with her, I'm a guy."



:: sure you can Yeezy, get rid of the pants and shirt. you can share being naked.

the best part of this admitted defeat? That Kanye made the comment while hosting Men.Style.com's top 25 women in fashion party with ex-Vogue intern Sean Avery. (:: whatttt?? more to come later on this front.)
