It's not even Christmas yet

I probably shouldn't have opened my Christmas gifts already, but my childlike curiosity could not be suppressed. And I'm really impressed with what I got-but-did-not-ask-for. I really know how to pick my friends!

Here are some of my favz:


APC gray pima dress


Muji color pencil set



Mociun "bauhaus" print tee

for the have and the have nots: holiday edition

I’m gearing up for a holiday gift exchange among friends that’s become an annual tradition since its inception circa 9th grade. Usually, it’s easy for me to list off all the things I want, well tangible things at least; yet this year, I’m racking my brain for ideas. Given our waning economic stability, I suddenly don’t want as much as I did before. The occasional Henrik Vibskov dress and Geren Ford shirt aside, I’ve simplified my life by “notwanting”. And if the feeling-of-want starts to bubble inside, I indulge myself with some online window-shopping aka “retail bulimia”. Add what you want to your shopping cart but instead of checking out, close the page. Sick, right?

Anyway, I’m stuck trying to come up with a few things to add to my Elfster list because I have to (see line 32A in our gift exchange rule book). And as much as I’d like my gift in a cash value, I can’t– that just takes the fun out of opening presents, no? Why am I such a stickler for tradition?

Humanoid










“.nl” always makes me happy. I love the Netherlands, I love Dutch design. This brings back fond memories of my short visit to Amsterdam a few years ago. I am still on the Stedelijk mailing list and frequently salivate when I get their event updates. Le sigh!

And in case this I wasn’t clear enough- Humanoid is awesome.

Pixel part 2

Icelandic illustrator/London inhabitant Siggi Eggertsson is my hero! I first spotted his work accompanying an article on the NYT website. After some web-stalking, I found his website . Of course, I was entranced. I love pixelated anything but its his choice of color and vector shapes that I find unique and visually stimulating.

Read his interview via Computer Arts UK.

Pool/Shark

In case you aren't sick of all this talk about skating in empty pools, this weekend will mark the last weekend Taro Hirano's landscape-style photos of skate-appropriate pools will be exhibited at Tortoise on Abbot Kinney. Go check it out (and buy some stuff, to stimulate the economy of course). And when you're done drooling, check out another one of my favorite Taro works.
