First Look: Camper Shoes S/S 2010

If I had to wear one shoe for the rest of my life, it would be Camper. Though the designs are admittedly more miss than hit, the hits make it all the more worth it. I'd hit that- I had the same pair of classic pelotas in high school and wore them all throughout Europe in rain, hail, snow, you name it. They are incredibly comfortable and appropriate for any occasion. All eyes on my picks for Camper's S/S 2010 collection:

Brothers: $195Pelotas: $170
Hella: $170

TWS: $175
Bag: $35

Style Watch: Top Heavy Denim

Hey, the 90s called, she wants her jacket back. Ughhh now 1849 is calling me and a claim jumper wants his shirt back. Too bad—I’m keeping my babies. When donning these looks, be careful not to wear too much denim. If you choose to wear jeans, make sure they are darker and a solid color, ideally black. Don’t let the ghost of Fonzie's past haunt your closet. All eyes on my top heavy denim looks for spring:

H&M: $30

J+ for UNIQLO: $40

Style Watch: How To Be Obnoxious

This shit, excuse me, SHIRT, FTW. Congratulations- you've beat "Everything is bigger in Texas" and "I have a black belt in keeping it real". Avoid any "clever" tees or tees with writing in general. Please. It's about as flattering as wearing "You Suck," "Angel" or "Rich" on your ass. Your dignity on sale for $9.99 at Urban.

Catwalk Canines: Ferocious Frenchie

I found this one in H&M between Flatiron and Union Square. He was itching to leave the store because the cuts were too European to fit his tight shapely tuchus. Get it.

First Look : Spring

To celebrate the demise of winter, I had a very wet spring inspired photo shoot centered around a tartan raincoat by Harvard Yard. Amy Harris photographed Piggy (AKA the great Piguini + owner, Liz Rose) in his dapper yellow raincoat. This little Piggy went to the hole-in-the-wall exclusive designer boutique. Alas, the shadow proves the sunshine-after a torrentially biblical downpour last weekend, we are rewarded by 60+ degree-occhiali-dal- sole-inspiring weather. Break out the sunglasses and bright umbrellas- all eyes on our spring spectacle:

Prepare yourself for cuteness overload (dog not me):

Style Watch: Donut Scarves

Or better known as loop scarves. Yes, men, you're allowed to wear scarves in the spring and, no, they do not have to be functional. Expand your style sense- Obama is in office. Iowa allows same-sex marriage. Rihanna has a bleached bowl cut. Times are a-changing and guess what? Men can wear loop scarves. Cue audible gasp. In lieu of the recent NY Times feature, I present to you one of this season's must-have accessories. All eyes on to-infinity-and-beyond (I originally typed Beyonce, shows where my mind is) scarves:

Loop-de-looks from American Apparel (click the link for a surprise NSFW-WTF), $22-$37:

And to further prove how overtly masculine the loop scarf can be, I commissioned the services of two high profile mutt models for Style Spectacle's first bi-coastal photo shoot. *Note* Per Tyra Banks' advice, I think they've undoubtedly mastered the smize:
