Nike Release "Back to the Future" Trainers!!

This is one's for my hubby, but to be honest, I'm totally excited about it as well!!

They’re the most famous trainers in movie history, and now they can be yours to own. Nike has created 1,500 (almost) exact replicas of the iconic, glowing shoe worn by Marty McFly in the ultimate 1980s movie; Back to the Future...well, to be specific, they were featured in part 2, but that was arguably even better than the first!

Bit of a bummer though, the 2011 Nike MAGs don’t feature laces that do up themselves, but they do include a LED panel and the electroluminescent Nike logo in the strap - freaking awesome!

The shoes don’t come cheap though, before you all get your hopes up...Nike are selling them on eBay, with some models already getting bids at the £5,000 mark. They started at less than £1!

It’s all for a really good cause though: the cash will go towards the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s disease research. Michael J. Fox, who will appear on the ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ to promote the shoes, said: “This project is exciting to me because it brings together three very passionate audiences: the Parkinson’s community, the sneakerheads and ‘Back to the Future’ fans.”

If anyone manages to get a pair...can I please borrow them?? Enjoy x

OMG Lanvin Loonies!!

OK so I know I have already done a post on the Lanvin collection, but now, the collection is finally available to buy!! Collective WHOO HOO!

The collection went on sale at over 200 stores worldwide yesterday morning and there were hoards of fashionistas desperate to get their mitts on these more precious than gold pieces. Some die hard fans actually camped out overnight to make sure they got in first!

Everything in this collection (even the carrier bags are gorgeous and oh so stylish!) is brilliant. Highlight pieces include a gorgeous one shoulder ruffle yellow dress and a beautiful floral flouncy number, if you go on the website now, you'll see that EVERY item (bar one cap) is sold out! Eek! Some crafty fashion folk have already put their gubbings on ebay, selling the pieces for up to 4 x their retail price...hmmm..

Customers were only allowed to buy one of each item, and with people boycotting changing rooms, you can expect a flurry of unsuitable returns this week - so don't lose heart if you haven't managed to get your piece of fashion history just yet, and don't give into the ebay trap. Just keep checking the website and speaking to your local store to find out if there have been returns yet. Good luck and enjoy x
