Albert Hammond Jr. Designs Suits for LA's Confederacy - Pre-Order Open Now!

In between all the Olympics tweets last night I spotted this little gem in my timeline... Albert Hammond Jr., The Strokes' guitarist, designed the slick claret and bottle green suits Ryan Gosling wore in Crazy Stupid Love. How cool is that?  For anyone who hasn't seen the film, have a look at the pics below.

The AW12 suits were designed for the uber-cool sounding LA-based store Confederacy, owned by DJ Danny Masterson and celebrity stylist Ilaria Urbinati, who have their staff uniforms specially designed each season by the likes of Rag and Bone, and Shipley & Halmos. Sweet.

The super sexy Albert Hammond Jr. for Confederacy suits are available for pre-order now for $2,125 plus tax and any applicable shipping fees (and they do ship internationally). To get involved call the store on +323 913 3040 or email them on confederacy4661@gmail.com to order yours. www.shopconfederacy.com

Pastel Puma x UNDFTD Clyde Ballilstics

Ballistic because of the toughened nylon uppers and UNDFTD because Undefeated is the LA sneaker store and lifestyle brand behind the Puma collaboration which puts a zingy, pick 'n' mix lick on the classic Clyde shoe style. All colourways for these Puma x UNDFTD Clyde Ballistic trainers also come with the option of white laces in case you're not feeling the matchy-matchyness. I love the parma violets shade (aka Bloom/White), especially the cute suede toes, but the unusual mint green with sherbet lemon versions are up there too. Catch them at Size? for £60 a pop.

SALE ALERT: NYLA BOUTIQUE 50% OFF DAY TOMORROW

As readers of my Huffington Post UK blog will know, I'm a massive fan of NYLA Boutique, the online fashion and accessories store which specialises in bringing the wares of hot new design talent from New York and LA to the UK and beyond.

Tomorrow, Thursday 27th November, they're having a one day flash sale with 50% off selected labels including the brilliant Tolani scarf collection, and free next day delivery if you order before 4pm.  I can vouch for their beautiful black tissue and satin ribbon packaging which make these perfect gifts so it's worth thinking about stocking up for Christmas presents so you can spend the money you'll save on a party frock nearer the time :)
