ebay find: rick owens shearling

ok, i love my new r.o. shearling, but seriously- this coat here is like an urban legend. my heart palpitated when i saw it on ebay. it's pretty amazing.



in case you're in need of one, or if you are santa claus doing some early x-mas shopping for me, bid here.

acne outlet

did you know acne jeans has an online outlet? i didn't! until last week.



i ordered this long-sleeve jersey mini dress, that i've wanted since last season. it's in the 'tops' section btw. black wasn't available, but purple was (along with electric blue) i have no purple in my wardrobe, but i love the colour and it looks great with black! it's super soft, has a double-layer body and long comfy sleeves. it's going to be perfect for fall and cooler summer days.

sheepskin pouf

i'm loving this sheepskin pouf from west elm. if only we had room, and didn't have sheepskin on our kitchen chairs, and flokati rugs in the bedroom. so much furry-ness in 1 big open plan space might be overload. i almost want to buy this just to have it for 'later' (ie. when we live in a place that can fit it, because it's so fabulous)

giveaway!!

*thank-you for entering! the contest is now closed*

you are in luck! i was contacted last week from chickdowntown.com to hold a contest for a free item of clothing of my choice! (ps. they have a massive sale going on right now, i was actually browsing the site before i was emailed to do the contest!)

as a prize, i picked a pair of current/elliot skinny slouch jeans (a $214-248 value!). this is my favorite fit of jean- a bit narrow but still comfy and slouchy. they are giving you a choice of three colours if you win:


super slouchy skinny, as seen here (my personal favorite)


skinny slouch in loved, as seen here


or skinny slouch in love destroyed, as seen here

so here are the rules:

-leave a comment and tell me what you would wear with your jeans if you win.

-make sure there is a way for me to contact you if you win. so include your email, or at least make sure your email is in your google profile (and your profile is open to view!).

-the contest will close July 5 at midnight, when a winner will be randomly chosen.

-the last rule, (sadly) this contest is only open to US residents! sorry! (i can't even enter my own contest)

tabi love

ok, i think it's officially time to stop buying clothes and start buying tabi sock patterns. seriously! damn you 1stdibs! i want these sooo badly!



actually i really like anything that's mounted on a little black stand like this.

speaking of tabi...

hello there, distressed/dipped tabi from totokaelo!! i would like to have you, but not for $775.



and hello giant satchel. i would like to have you as well. i haven't checked in with impulse/totokaelo in a while. i had no idea they were carrying margiela (and drkshdw) this could be dangerous!



i went to the margiela store in tokyo (omotesando) lets just say... it was torture.

so many tabi variations. so many colours.

i'm obsessed.

UF3-Q

say hello to my new lamp! it traveled with us back from tokyo. we got it at hhstyle in harajuku. we were looking for a ceiling lamp to put over the dining table, but they were out of stock on most of the ones we liked. so the plan is we're going to retrofit the UF3-Q to hang over our table.

we were originally looking at the hanging L3 lamp, but i think our little polka-dotted space ship UF3-Q will look great!

this is a picture of hhstyle in harajuku. i forgot to take a lot of pictures when we were there, so i will share a few from one of my favorite flickr-ites naoyafujii.

this is the building right beside hhstyle. it is now the nike street wear (nsw) store, but i have seen it still referenced as the hh style building other places. it is pretty amazing, inside and out, especially at night, as you can see.

i miss tokyo.

also, watch how akari light sculptures are made:
