Aston Martin One-77 new pics

Announced a couple of months back, the One-77, expecting to possess a 7.3-liter V12 engine pumping out 700+hp, has already been sold out. Details are dim and distribution will not begin until late 2009 but the carbon fibre chassis alongside aluminium body panels has been confirmed. Haaaaard.

Narrative Chief Leather Boots

As you can see, I am really into boots right now, I guess with the inclement weather change pending, its time to step your boot game up. So these are a great alternative to Red Wing boots. The Narrative ‘Chief’ is a ankle length leather lace-up boot with contrast panels, stitched round toe and thick Redwing style outsole. The tonal warm black color story adds a new element you can’t get from Redwing setting you apart from the guy next to you

Foot the Coacher Bean and Gum Shoe Boots

Some great boots from Foot the Coacher. These Bean and Gum Shoe Hunting Boots are made of Italian kip leather and should be waterproof up to the bladder line. Great alternative to the traditional bean boots. They look damn good. Find them in Japan. MW step up.

2009 Porsche Cayman

It has always been my vision to own a Porsche as a part of my fleet of cars, and the new the Porsche Cayman S automobile is indeed a car worth having. Some have described it as a hybrid between the Boxter and the Carrera. The 2.7-liter engine in the new Cayman generates 245 horsepower, while 201 lb.-ft. of torque arrives at just 4600 rpm and stays with you to 6000 rpm. The Cayman S is armed with 3.4 liters of total swept volume and a maximum of 295 horsepower at 6250 rpm. Maximum torque is 251 lb.-ft. at 4400 rpm. Niiiice.

Ice Cream Fall Winter Boots

Yeah, yeah, I know these are Ice Cream branded but, damnit if they aren't niiice. The Ice Cream camp kicks it into a higher gear pushing out more contemporary pieces instead of their usual brightly clad garments. Still incorporating some of that usual color spunk, they add boots into their footwear lineup. Featuring an indigo leather upper alongside contrast stitching and gold eyelets, Ice Cream keeps the details pretty laid back for the older crowd. These joints are now available at Ice Cream flagship stores with a retail of ¥37,590 (Approx. $372 USD).

Both are made from 70/30 wool/cashmere blends and feature unique details making them more interesting than the traditional flat cards. The SOHO is fashioned with a wide ribbed mock shawl collar while the Chelsea comes as a pullover with a double breasted front and ribbed collar and sleeves. Definitely a good look for Winter.

Chanel Pavillion: in Central Park

Fresh off stints in Tokyo and Hong Kong, Chanel's UFO-like mobile art pavilion is making a stop in Central Park before being transported over to London, Moscow and Paris. The preconstructed Zaha Hadid-designed orb is being pieced together now in Rumsey Field in anticipation of an October 20th opening. Like the Gates, the Chanel exhibit is free and open to the public, though there's definitely a commercial bent: The structure will contain work by 20 contemporary artists "inspired by the legendary quilted Chanel bag."

Calvin Klein Home Furniture

Not bad for a brand known primarily for jeans and undergarments. The bed is definitely an eye catching piece.

WTAPS Autumn/Winter Collection: Locals Jacket

A new piece from one of my favorite brands; WTAPS. This jacket comes in field raco twill in black and features a vast amount of detailed embroidery both on the front, back and the lining. However, they managed to keep the jacket nicely balanced and not too loaded, something that happens a lot when using too much embroidery on a piece.
