Tried to find a better example of this on the web somewhere but the web version of this campaign doesn’t look the same. I love the type setting and the fact that the letters look like vinyl stickers peeling up at the edges. Brilliant, never mind the frightening illustration of Serena Williams.

The new issue of Teen Vogue hit my doorstep and amongst the $300 dollar handbags and $100 dollar candles that the magazine usually peddles to its teen readership I found some noteworthy gems.

COACH shoes TEEN VOGUE flats bows

First up are the ADORABLE, nay, murderous flats from Coach. Just as I was about to thrown down $500 dollars on a pair of Chanel flats, these puppies came along and for a mere $158.00 I think they are a steal. You can buy the Skyla flat on the Coach site.

I got some more where that came from.” And I did want more, however Teen Vogue credited Nine West for this sandal, but none of my thorough internet hunting has unearthed a link to these beauties.  I think they’ll have to print the retraction in the next issue and tell us WHO REALLY DID THESE, and I will continue my tireless search for them. If you know please contact me. I want to give credit where credit is due, and I kinda need these.

But dear readers, there’s a saying that goes something like, “You can’t appreciate the sweet without the sour.” In that spirit I give you TUBE FLOPS. Flip flops with tube socks attached. Sanuk is even hosting a contest to win a pair- don’t all text at once. So here’s your sour and you’re welcome.
