eight crazy nights (our jew themed holiday gift guide).

since i am an honorary jew, i decided to do our gift guide based on the on the eight days of Hanukkah. these are my pix for the best gifts from Adorn. 



 

December 22nd:

Obey limited addition tees designed by Mike Kershnar.

owl tee for the ladies.



snake tee for the guys.



 

December 23rd:

unisex Erhart track jackets. designed by our very own peeps of the 503. the raw silk yoke and neon pocket linings make for a totally hawt look. 



 

December 24th:

Finn sweatshirts.

crew neck stripe for the guys. i'm so into crew necks these days. don't even think about challenging me to wear one three days in a row. i'll do it; i'm crazy.



red and black checked hoodie for the ladies. really thick and soft. perfect for wearing while sipping hot cocoa by the fire. can you picture it now?



 

December 25th:

Yana fanny pack for the confident and hip guy in your life. double hawt.



 

Harajuku lovers boom box music box for the girls. sounds a little weird, i know. trust me, this will make an amazing gift for the young ladies in your life ("what you waiting for?" get it?)



 

December 26th: 

Obey wallets for him and her. if you're like me, you only shop for a new wallet when the old one is falling apart. who couldn't use a back up? 





December 27th:

this is only day six. geeeez, i wish i really was jewish for all the selfish reasons of course. eating s-tons of food, and receiving presents are my main hobbies. i'm not even kidding.

unisex leather cuffs by Lacey Cassidy (a portland biker babe). she uses recycled leather to create a unique look that is appealing to both men and women (unless you are a crazy). 

(pictures coming soon)

 

December 28th:

okok. so i know this isn't exactly a gift from Adorn, but have you ever had the brownies from Gold Rush? It's the coffee shop right down the block from us. it's on the corner of MLK and Russell. i almost passed out due to sheer pleasure the first time i took a bite of it's dense and sugary deliciousness. if santa....i mean moses made me brownies like these for Hanukkah, i would be a very happy girl. 



 

December 29th:

the last and final night of our little celebration deserves a realllllly special gift. WATCHES!!!!

for him....the Vestal calculator watch :)



for her....the L.A.M.B Lockdown watch (i get tons of compliments on mine).

yana fanny packs!

 

The fanny pack (US), belt pack (US), hip pack (UK), or bum bag (UK,Oceania) is a small fabric pouch secured with a zipper and worn at the waist by a strap around the hips.

The name 'fanny pack' is derived from the fact that they were traditionally worn facing the rear above the buttocks, for which fanny is a slang term in North America. Despite the name, many do not wear fanny packs on their rear because they are easier to pick pocket and harder to access. In the United Kingdom and Anglophone Oceania, the term 'bum bag' or 'belt bag' is used for this product (as fanny is slang for the vagina or, more correctly, the vulva in those territories).

Today, fanny packs are often worn by hikers and bicycle riders. Fanny packs are used by travelers and were more popular during the early and mid 1990s. They can be slung either forward, to the side, or to the rear of the wearer. One of the primary advantages of fanny packs is that they are hands-free. This makes them great choices over purses not only for travelers, but also for some people with disabilities, and those who have mobile professions.

Fanny packs reached the peak of their popularity in the late 1980s and early- to mid-1990s. Today, however, fanny packs are considered unfashionable by most people. Weird Al Yankovic, for instance, mocks the wearing of fanny packs in his song "White & Nerdy." Many consider the fanny pack a sure mark for an out-of-place tourist, invoking the traditional tourist stereotypes known around the world.

The handiness and ease of opening of fanny packs has also resulted in them being used as holsters for storing loaded handguns. Many manufacturers make fanny packs that are designed for concealed carry.

For some, their resurrection is a form of ironic retro fashion. In this way, the fanny pack has made something of a comeback among youth in recent years, this time termed a pouch. Many top designers such as TheNorth Face, Gucci, Prada, Coach, Marc Jacobs, The Good Witch Closet, and Louis Vuitton have taken the opportunity to resurrect and redesign the fanny pack.

 

so we think fanny packs are back in a major way. there is almost no way you could make fun of these bags we just got in from Yana. they are made of eco friendly fabrics; all the hardware is 14k gold plated. Yana's bags we recently featured in Lucky magazine. most importantly, Yana believes in fair pay and good working conditions, so all her bags are made NYC.

welcome foreign family!

today we recieved our first shipment of foreign family. we are sooo excited to add them to our growing list of amazing brands. if you haven't heard of them yet, here is a little info....

founded in los angeles in the hot summer of 2003, when two friends, chad and mr44, decided to start their own clothing brand. they both wanted to build a brand that was known for originality and intricate hand-drawn designs. hard work and the drive to create good clothing has guided them from the start, from deciding to utilize only original hand drawn artwork, to building an image, fostering their own dedicated following, building an international customer base, freelancing for and collaborating with other brands, and delving into garment production (ie "cut & sew"). foreign family are proud of recent achievements such as being invited to bread + butter in barcelona, launching a worldwide art tour, and the opening of their official headquarters - a design studio in k-town, los angeles.







all tees are thirty bucks. hats and hoodies coming soon.
