Thrifty Flavors: Sperry Top-Sider Classic Boat Shoe

The weather is warming up (depending on where you are) and in a couple of months, it's shorts and tees and barbecues and boat rides on the weekends. That said, there's no better shoe to wear on a boat than a pair of boat shoes.

This dark navy pair will get you through such summer rides with both style and practicality. The white lace makes for a perfect contrast offering a classic form of detail - something that is always appreciated. Wear this with shorts or rolled-up jeans for a devil-may-care vibe that goes perfectly with that ice-cold margarita in your hand.

Get this Sperry Top-Sider Classic Boat Shoe for US$75 at Barneys.

Maison Martin Margiela Leather Sandals With Toe Strap

With the warmer months approaching, it's time to look forward to Spring/Summer footwear. If I have to state the obvious, a great day out with the sun beaming and a light breeze demands dining outside and when most restaurants abhor flip-flops, sandals are a stylish alternatives especially if they look like this pair.

The thick leather straps lend a chic and masculine feel that will look awesome with tailored shorts. The simple buckle design and solo big toe loop gives a slight gladiator feel that is still current and desirable. For easy days outdoors, you can't do no wrong with this pair.

Get this Maison Martin Margiela Leather Sandals With Toe Strap for US$387.91.

John Varvatos Goat Skin Morrison Zip Boot

I am shifting towards a harder style of dressing these days and what better footwear to turn to than boots? Their versatility is a much appreciated bonus - use them to edge up a formal outfit or add punch to a night-on-the-town look.

And what better pair to do that than with this stunning pair? I am completely digging this goat skin piece. The exaggerated crease is a killer detail that elevates this sleek pair to a whole other style stratosphere. It grabs you and draws you in; all the time making you fully aware of how big of a statement this makes on your whole outfit.

The tonal stitching on the upper layer adds a sliver of subtle detail that only serves to add to its desirability. Not that it is needed; because really, this pair of boots is going down as the first pair of boots in 2010 to give me lust bumps. It just takes the cake.

Get this John Varvatos Goat Skin Morrison Zip Boot for US$550 at John Varvatos.

Maison Martin Margiela 22 Flocked Replica Sneaker

Velvet pieces like jackets and vests give off a certain distinguished dressy-ness that never goes out of style. It is symbolic with luxury, refinement and excess - qualities that again, never go out of style. So I was pretty stoked when I found this velvet pair of sneakers.

The outside of this distinct pair is completely velvet-ized. Even the laces are velvet. I am a sucker for detail and velvet laces take the care. The design of this pair is simple but yet so arresting - thanks to the lush shade of blue. A color that will look kick-ass with denim and tailoring.

The detail does't just stop there. Maison Margiela's trademark is shrunk to a sliver of a single white thread on the back of the shoe. It's the kind of detail that only you and those who look closely will know - intimate and subtle. I am so sold!

Get this Maison Martin Margiela 22 Flocked Replica Sneaker for US$552 at Tres Bien Shop.

O By O X Kazuki Vulcanized Boot

Designer collaborations are generally cool and exciting. I am always looking forward to see how ideas from creative directors can be harvested and compliment the vision of the design house.

Designer Kasuki Kuraishi teamed up with Adidas for a range of apparel and sneakers. This pair of boots is one offspring of the collaboration. I like how this isn't a piece that screams for attention. Instead, it's the kind of footwear that people slowly notice and compliment.

The visible stitching and perforations add a dose of detail while the black and white of the boots contrast perfectly. I especially like how the heel has both black and white (contrasting at the cap toe) - it provides visual stimulation without trying too hard.

Cipher Subterranean Sneakers

Thanks to Cipher's Spring 2010 collection, I am totally in the mood to talk about beautiful sneakers. The ones that you can't, well at least, I can't take my eyes off. I am so digging this Subterranean pair - available in both grey and black.

In a sea of dark sneakers, the light grey stands out. The suede fabric adds a warm, luxurious touch to this stylish pair. From the criss- cross straps to the flap on the mid-vamp to the white stitched detail, this pair is eye-catching and yet gives off a refined quietness that doesn't scream for attention.

This quality makes this a perfect pair that goes with everything. Which is what I would do - wear this to death. The black version with its glossy exterior detail will be great for those who would prefer a pair that doesn't show everyday stains.

Get this Cipher Subterranean Sneakers for US$149.99 at Cipher.

Cipher Seditionary Black Sneakers

Aside from my Converse pairs, I don't own any other high-top sneakers. But I've looked on at them for a couple of years now, always wondering if they would be in my style vein. I still don't know yet but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate gorgeous high-tops like this pair here.

For high-top/sneakers fanatics, Cipher is definitely a brand to check out. This Hong Kong-based brand believes in injecting a bout of dressiness into urban contemporary pieces. This pair with its suede and gloss combination is refined and yet bold enough to garner attention.

The multiple criss-cross straps make for excellent detail while the broad two-strap piece at the top brings to mind a retro quality that is part old-school and all cool. Wear this with everything - jeans, shorts, tailored pants.

Throwing on a pair of sneakers with a dressed-up attire brings a particular twist that is fresh and current. This pair can certainly do that for you.

Gucci Brown Slip-On Loafer

I realized that I need more brown shoes in my life. Particularly, beautiful brown shoes like this stunner here.

This handsome pair has the right shade of brown with slight black gradients that only serve to increase its desirability factor. The design is simple and classic - one that you'll wear for years and years to come.

The detail that drew me in was the tiny jagged edges on the top vamp of the shoe - perfect and subtle. It adds that little touch of cool and uniqueness while going unnoticed unless someone inches in for a closer look. It's this little bit of luxurious detail that makes a pair of shoes something to covert.

Get this Gucci Brown Slip-On Loafer for US$631.80 at Matches.

Maison Martin Margiela 22 Distressed Ankle Boot

There are days when I like being proper - crisp shirt, polished shoes, silk pocket squares. And then there are other days when I want to just rough things up - torn jeans, crumpled shirt and tough boots.

This pair of distressed ankle boots would be particularly perfect for rough days. The simplicity of this pair is a draw - unpretentious, clean and raw. The subtle white stitching being the most obvious detail.

With a pair like this, you don't really need much detail - slip it on, roll up your jeans and just show off how simple and distressed can really be cool.

Get this Maison Martin Margiela 22 Distressed Ankle Boot for US$492 at Tres Bien Shop.
