This black ceramic and stainless steel unisex double ring is a simple and striking statement piece. I’m digging the clean minimal lines and smooth finishes. Made in Canada by designer Shane Vitaly Foran, who is designing for the “iPod generation”. Shane is making a major splash in the fashion scene, while still maintaining a look that crosses many genres. It’s not going to be for everyone, but some of you are really going to dig the pieces being produced from Vitaly Design. So do yourselves a favor and go check it out.

Freunde x Black by Vitaly Design is available online for $130 at www.vitalydesign.com.

It’s been a lovely summer so far, in Canada we wrapped up the July long weekend and Canada’s 145th Birthday, and in the United States we saw the July 4th with their 236th Independence day. So it’s been a weekend of bar-b-ques, drinks, and the like, I should think for many of our readers. But besides being neighbors and sharing holidays close together, what do these two great countries share? How about the amazing designers behind the new clothing line Cherry Underground! Dalia and Nayara, from both Canada and the US, are working hard on this new line and with pieces like the “We Are the Dreamers” vest it’s easy to see why this line is keeping them busy and  selling out. This one-of-a-kind, hand painted jean and hand studded American flag vest, that’s so perfect for the summer season but could be layered for those colder months down the road, is awesome. It’s a hand-made to order vest, each one is unique and if you want it customized it’s only $10 extra to  individualize it even further!

The “We Are The Dreamers” American Flag studded Jean Vest is available online for $89 at www.cherryunderground.etsy.com.
