THE BOOTS: Clarks Originals Desert Mali

Clarks produced the Desert Mali boot in 1967. I love the army boots meets Clarks Desert boot look.  It comes out in Fall/Winter 2010 in black and mahogany leather, brown, cola and Wolf suede. (Via Highsnobiety)

THE COLLECTION: Baron Von Fancy's Versace Jeans

Baron Von Fancy's collection of Versace Jeans is just ridiculous.  Those patterns are amazing.  After seeing his collection, the Baron Von Fancy x Mister Mort suspenders make a lot more sense. (via Mister Mort)

THE T: Unknown Soldier

Everyone knows how much I love a good tank top.  These t-shirts and tank tops from LA-based Unknown Soldier are looking perfect for summer.  I really like the stark one color graphics, referencing no-wave, reggae, and african bands. Available at Nom de Guerre, Opening Ceremony LA, and A. Kinney Court. (via GQ)

THE WORD: Frank Sinatra to George Michael!

Yeah, it's really a letter Frank Sinatra wrote to the LA Times's Calendar magazine about a young and troubled George Michael! I guess George was feeling the effects of being a superstar after his debut album. Frank decides to give him some words of wisdom!

Come on George. Loosen Up. Swing, man.  (via GetKempt and Letters of Note)

THE ICON: Tony Alva

 Love the look of these old Alva ads designed by Eric Monson! (via Mary & Matt)
