new weSC is hawt!

i'm so excited about the new weSC gear we received. one word: hawt. they used bright modern colors with old school charm. think "my so called life" circa 1994. jared leto aka jordan catalano and claire danes aka angela chase rocked the striped sweaters and "logger chic" plaid flannels all the time. it brings back warm and fuzzy memories. sigh.....

The street style just hit the fashionable fan. Stick to the plan man! You're gonna need a wingman when you wear the WeSC? 'Zoltan / Crew neck / Long sleeves / Striped pattern with small WeSC logo / Maching was warm, reshape and lay flat to dry / 100% Cotton.

robots invade adorn!!

our newest line to add to our collection was created by the craziest mitfits, dorks, and geeks you may come across. cardboard robot is a group of freethinking artists that started out creating short films about technology and social awareness and it has slowly turned into a clothing, accessories, and furniture brand. 

duh. of course i had to choose the cat shirt. allergy attack tee. 28 bones! 

check out the rest.

not to worry, we have CR for the ladies coming soon. 

adorn has a new brand. woohoo!

we just received our first shipment of WeSC for this month!!!!! they have really great logo basics and lots of fun fashion-y pieces for the dudes and the ladies. check out the info we have on them....

WeSC is not merely a brand in the fashion industry, but rather a company within the skateboard culture. We create “street fashion”, clothing with roots in a subculture that sets its own rules and follows its own trends.

The company was founded on January 7th 2000, our official “Day of The Superlative Conspiracy”. The founders are all avid skateboarders and snowboarders.

The idea was to create a street fashion brand, a brand that represented street fashion – not streetwear. We felt that the purpose contained more than just t-shirts and jeans, a broader selection for men and women. None of what we wanted to achieve was to be found in the distribution network that we related to. Today WeSC is available in more than 20 countries around the world. 

be on the lookout for more great stuff from them. hope you love!

come get these, quik!!!

all of our amazing fall shipments are only just begining to arrive. i am especially fond of the recockulosley cute women's line from quiksilver. we received three new dresses from them, and i cannot wait to wear all three. i am featuring my top two in this posting (it was so hard to choose).

this is the quiksilver women's blow up dress in moccasin red. its as if you stole your grandma's vintage slip and tie-dyed it to perfection. tonal contrast lace trip adjustable straps, and shirttail hem. 100% silk crepe de chine with tie-dye. dry clean. one oh eight and worth every penny.

finally we have it; a denim dress not appropriate for kindergarden teachers :) this dress with boots this will make the perfect statement for fall. i'm sure i'll end up wearing this dorkin around at the grocery store paired with flip flops, but oh well it's versatile. 99% cotton twill denim 1% stretch. machine washable. one oh eight. holler.

bargain hunting 101

Bargain hunting is an opportunity for shoppers to find rare, one-of-a-kind, samples and limited run clothing, furnishings and more.  Shoppers can expect to see apparel, art supplies, home and garden furnishings, local designs, unique fashions, premium denim, handmade hats, and other fabulous accessories all at discount and clearance prices.

Bargain Hunting is a bi-annual sale hosted by many locally owned boutiques and artists who sell their high quality wares at rock bottom prices.  This sale happens in conjunction with Super Bowl Sunday and also in the Summer.  Previously held at the McMenamin’s Kennedy School, there has been such a response by other boutiques and artist who want to participate in this sale that the next sale will be held at the Crystal Ballroom to accommodate a larger number of vendors.

limited addition "Tree Hugger" tee by Kronk.

BioKronk is a human being and designer/illustrator who is based in (C)ape Town, South Africa and likes to make dumb and pretty art. He is currently employed at Amicollective where he basically gets paid to doodle cool stuff for clients ranging from soft drink giants, major cell phone companies, cable TV networks and his dad. He drinks quite a lot of coffee and loves biltong, which is a South African delicatessen for those of you who don’t know. Every now and then he accidentally stumbles upon ideas that are conceptually relevant to the microcosms of people that exist in the current social environment. Did we mention that he also has a thing for drawing clouds and elusive creatures like Yetis? Kronk rarely sleeps, but when he does, he dreams about stuff that he wants to make. One could say he is in a perpetual cycle of creativity; it's vicious, but he likes it.

tarina tarantino march madness.

peace sparkle disk earring. 45

heart toggle necklace. 63

 

new new new. here are my faves. enjoy!

TARINA TARANTINO was founded in 1995 by Tarina Tarantino and Alfonso Campos. The 1990's were the height of minimalism in the fashion world. Accessories were almost non existent in the pages of fashion magazines and stores. Their colorful and inventive designs were a breath of fresh air for customers that were tired of blending into the fashion landscape.

Girls looking for ways to personalize their own style finally had a choice. They wanted to bring accessories made with the highest quality materials infused with color, sparkle, and unique design into the marketplace. And they believe that there should not be any rules when it comes to creating your own personal style. Tarina's collections had an immediate appeal to girls of ALL ages.

It all began with beads, crystals, sandpaper, inspiration and tons of determination from their one bedroom apartment in West Hollywood and soon they found a charming studio space in West Hollywood and made it official. The studio was soon frequented by celebrities, stylists and fashion editors wanting to get their sparkling fix. Tarina would often be asked to create last minute pieces for stars to wear to their latest red carpet event.

Soon Tarina and her designs were appearing in every major fashion magazine and many TV shows including Oprah, CNN & Access Hollywood. In August 1998 PEOPLE magazine did a profile story on the success of Tarina's hair jewelry. The next couple of years Tarina continued to set trends with new and innovative Jewelry and accessory designs. In 2002, legendary fashion icon Elio FIORUCCI invited them to open a store inside his Italian mega-store in the center of Milan. The TARINA TARANTINO brand quickly became the "must have" with the fashion elites.

Broder = delicious and adorable

the picture doesn't even do it justice. 



so i might have found a new breakfast favorite. last sunday i went to Broder on Clinton street with the second biggest breakfast snob i know (only second to me of course), my friend Amy Lemon. we ordered three entrees for two little girls and had zero left overs to take home (that's a first). we started off with the swedish pancakes that were not shaped like pancakes at all, they looked more like doughnut holes. see picture above. they provided lemon curd, lingonberry  jam, and maple surup to dip them in. that was great for me because i'm not really a big surup fan. the egg dishes were very flavorful and i really enjoyed the variety of side dishes. you could choose from potato pancakes, roasted squash, or sauteed greens. this place is a hipster version of the ikea restaurant (good looking servers included). when i started taking pictures of my food, the people sitting next to us asked if i was a food critic. i was an amateur i said, i was just doing this for a blog. when they asked what the site was, i quickly changed the subject and pretended like i was in a hurry to leave. eek.
