"Love Kills Slowly" ~ Ed Hardy

Over at Collette, you could actually find a good mix of products, from lifestyle to fashion to jewellery. Some items include the useless-looking yet oh-so-sweet "I-Love-You" toast stamp, Talking mouse that says "I Love You" each time you click, and the non-conventional heart-shaped poker cards.

Classic Tiffany & CO. locket if you're both prosaical.

For Him,

We absolutely love the Naxos series from Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2009 Menswear Collection. The palette is slightly mutated, yet sophisticated for the stylish men. Naxos is an island in Greece that offers superb fine sand beaches, fertile valleys and mountainous beauty; one of the best holiday destinations among the Greek Islands.

Our choice? The Doctoc Bag Naxos and Cabas Naxos, both functional and excellent for travelling.

Matt and Nat also offer unqiue bags made from innovative products like plastic bottles and recycled lining. Their signature Paltrow is now going for $177, and POZ for only $18. With such a sale on their site, it's hard not to depart from your money.

If he's a true fan of Bathing Ape, you might want to consider getting this Baby Milo Valentine's Day tee-shirt that comes in Black or White.

From Oki-Ni, you can find some really dope merchandise from fashion designers like Martin Margiela, Fred Perry, and Raf simmons.

Men's Cult Fashion

Secretly,

We support cult brands from all over the whole.

Yet ironically,
fakes these days look even better than the authentic ones!

Today a friend was asking,
"Hey Style Damsel, where can I get this:

"

(Zip up to be baby milo or baby batman)

Cool isn't it? But our immediate reaction was, "Hmmm, are those 'Real'?"

We remember bape having a series of "not-so-pleasing" looking hoodies with mutated panda images. Since when was there sewn-on characters on their usual printed hoodies?

Authentic Bathing Ape

Anyway, so we went on to justify that those are fake (though, there is still no concrete evidence).

In any case if you are interested in getting, we've found a site for you to place your orders (but strangely, they are not cheap)

They even have them in dress form:

Still, we shall never advocate piracy. The post is here just for information purposes. Have a Happy Tuesday!
