Do you want to bike around town looking fabulous? Stop right now and take a look at the below bicycles from top fashion brands. Fashion design taken to another level. Who knew? Transportation items that are both eco-friendly and stylish. I always look at things from a fashion point of view and I am usually pleased with what I see or the design twist I give it in my mind. Keep reading, I am not joking; bicycles can totally be a fashion item. A few months ago, Kate Spade partnered with one of New York’s most famous boutique bike shops Adeline Adeline to bring us the Kate Spade New York bicycle. The designer took inspirations from an advertisement in the 60s and brought us the below chic green vintage bike. It is the perfect summer accessory! I would bike more often if I had any of these bicycles.

Chanel adds feminism and sophistication to its limited edition Chanel bike. I would like to take this bike on a classy ride and stroll for croissants and a smoothie.

Gucci Cruiser bicycle showcases luxurious Italian refinement. It’s creative director Frida Giannini said that red evokes “happiness” and “celebration” – two emotions that could not be more appropriate to describe the excitement in the world of sports. The bicycle is available in chocolate brown or unique white.

Fendi and Italian bicycle producer Abici created its signature bicycle called Fendi Abici Amante Donna Bicycle. It counts with Selleria leather accessories, which are all hand made.

Hermès partnered with the Dutch bicycle manufacturer Batavus to offer a sophisticated bicycle.  They took the French magnetism of relaxation and luxury onto bicycle tracks.

Magic Glitter Powder

I recently talked to my friend Natalia en Ecuadorwho is distributing this chic glitter powder you can use to repair shoes, style up clothes and so much more. Remember the glitter gold Christian Louboutin pumps Carrie Bradshaw wore on the first Sex & the City movie? Well, you can do it yourself now. It’s fun and cute and you can even use an old pair of pumps and glitter them away. You can get another type of glitter paint you can apply on any type of fabric. The glitter paints range from $0.99 to $2.99 so if you have an old pair of shoes you were thinking on giving away, think again, with these glitter paints you can totally transform your shoes into brand new glitter stylish footwear!

Take a look at the painted butterflies, you can make hairclips and those type of things. There are 48 shades and glitter colors, so with a $15-$20 budget, you can reinvent your shoes, I’m totally getting them next time I’m in Ecuador (Guimsa). They have all the necessary materials to make your glitter/paint project easy. They’re currently having courses where you can learn from the experts how to glitter up your shoes and other items.
