Virgin America’s First Class Shoe

This past fall, Virgin America collaborated with Eleven and Milan’s SearchnDesign to create a truly one-of-a-kind pair of sneakers. I mean… have you ever seen a pair of sneakers with wifi and a video screen built in? Is this something that you would ever necessarily need? Maybe not, but it’s still cool to say that you have them! While you may end up preferring your Vessi footwear over these, it’s hard to dispute the innovation! Made out of Italian leather (the same ones that Virgin America’s first class seats are made of) these are the first of its kind to have all of these features and a built in charger. What can’t these sneakers do? There was only one pair made and they were auctioned off on eBay for a whopping $97,877.77. Wow. Don’t worry, it’s all going to charity and the proceeds were given to Soles4Souls, which is committed to fighting poverty through clothing and shoes distribution.

Marshawn Lynch and His Skittles Deal

The days to the upcoming Super Bowl are winding down and the Seahawks players are becoming fast favorites! I don’t mind. I’m willing to share our team with other states that didn’t make it to the Super Bowl if people want to root for them. I’m not sure when everyone discovered that Marshawn Lynch’s favorite candy was Skittles, but it was announced TODAY that Lynch has struck a deal with them! As soon as I saw it, I had to have it. In fact, the desired feeling was so immediate that I ordered Tommy to try and find it on Google Shopping Express only to shortly discover that they were so limited edition that they won’t even be in stores!

Starting Wednesday, the limited edition pack of blue and green Seahawks skittles will be auctioned off here before the Super Bowl with proceeds going directly to Lynch’s charity – the Fam 1st Family Foundation.

Razrs

photo cred | Cool Material

Before the iPhone, there was another model that everyone just had to have: the Razr. And where do all good phones go to die? Ebay of course – though I’m not sure why anyone would want to purchase the Razr these days – so outdated.

Kyle Williams found a creative way to bring these phones back to life. After purchasing 44 Razrs off the website, he peeled apart the layers to find old text messages, sexts (yes, even THOSE existed back then too,) pictures, and videos. The material was compiled and published in his new book Razrs.

Note to self? Delete all the memory and data started on my crackberry when I decide to replace it.

Missoni Boots to Fund College Education

As beautiful as these Missoni rain boots are, there is no way I would ever pay $31,000 for them. One woman from Tulsa, Oklahoma is completely overestimating the price of these boots on eBay in order to hopefully fund her daughter’s college education. It may be a little far fetched, but it’s still a thoughtful gesture. I think it’s important to note that the original price of these boots and any kind of Missoni rain boots are nowhere near this price. The Target ones featured above were only sold for $34.99.

Though the woman has received some negative comments, she still remains hopeful that someone out there will purchase these boots. After all the buzz she’s getting, she just might get her wish!

Best of luck lady!

Let the models do what they do best

Why is it that whenever models and celebrities are seen wearing certain pieces of clothing, we feel inclined to buy the exact same thing? Is it because it looks amazing (or better) on them, and we would like to be seen in that same light? Probably. I’ve never bought anything from eBay before, but recently someone tried to auction off their Marc Jacobs top. Instead of the typical shirt sprawled out on the carpet of your floor, like I’ve seen many many timesbefore, they inserted a picture of THE Gemma Ward wearing the shirt herself. It’s not the exact shirt being sold, but it is still the same shirt.

Even if I did buy clothing online, I would most likely buy it if I saw it on a celebrity first than if I had seen it on a carpeted ground with terrible lighting. Just saying.
