Dutch super-label, Gsus Industries, just keeps on getting better. They call their stores - Heaven’s Playground (click for locations). Now isn’t that exactly what shopping should be all about?
I first noticed them when my galpal Lana was given some free swag to keep her warm and glam’ while she worked the door of some hot spots. Now the Spring Collection 2007 is about to hit the stores and it’s packed full of bright colors (lots of white too).
And you always have to give kudos to a stylish label that’s all about ethical clothing, and believes that market research is taboo (they only design what they’d want to wear) - isn’t that novel?
And a favorite little touch - is on some pieces the subtle, embroidered thorn crown.
Do you see it? We’re still in love with our cozy sweaters, but there’s that first trickle of this spring 2007 coming to life. The first fashion trend I’m liking is SAFARI (obviously a spill over of fall’s leopard). Creams, golds and khaki.
You know what I love about this round of ‘cargo’ associated with safari? Like on this jacket - the pockets aren’t over kill. And you can already see the past season’s skinny pants infiltrating into a slimmer cargo pant. The ones I’m loving are Banana Republic’s Ryan slim cargo (sorry no picture).
Hooded jacket, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti; Prada suede shorts. Okay, maybe the Prada shorts wont be in my budget, but I’m confident there will be a pair of suede shorts in my life this spring. Pair this outfit with some big tortoise shell sunglasses and you’re set.

But mainly because when I look out my window to the sea of fall leaves exploding into gold colors as I snuggle in my new fall sweater with a cup ‘o chai. Why would I want to write or even think about spring?
And as a reader you can’t rush out to stores to get any of it? So doesn’t it just seem plain mean to tease you about something you can’t have for six more months? Well for you fashion sadists that "have to know" - here’s a Spring Teaser of what "The it Lists" expects to be Spring 2007 ~ Top Ten Runway Predictions… Read More »
