Happy tee shirt with big hair.

Oliver Fitsch Gomez is a guy after our own hearts and this tee proves it. Incorporating the hair into the sleeves is especially clever.

Hello Mr. Burger…

A self-proclaimed “yarner, designer and nimcompoop”, Nicole Gastonguay made this burger, turtle, sardine tin and pickle jar. We like.

Cuteness transcends language. Who cares what they’re singing about? They’re Japanese ukelele bunnies! What more do you need to know?

Thank you to the boys at Drawn for sharing this morsel of adorable. The band singing the song is called U900.

If Pepe was a girl this is what he would wear…

Camila Prada — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:59:08 +0000

Jocomomola is a small but feisty Spanish fashion label. And Pepe loves it. Unafraid of bright color, slightly bohemian yet elegant. And always happy. The model doesn’t look happy though, but the clothes ARE happy, and that’s good enough for Pepe. Too bad he’s not a girl.

Beautiful warmth…

The snow storm has finally left Europe but it’s still really cold. I close my eyes and see red brick walls covered in swatches of raw silks glowing in exotic hues, the softest Spanish merino wools and a comforting smell of leather lingers in the air.

These are my memories from Gwendolyn’s studio where I worked as a assistant years ago. She makes beautiful winter hats by hand. She only uses the most luxurious of materials. The level of care that goes making these hats is something you don’t often see. I swear each hat has a soul.

And Gwendolyn herself seems to come from some calm, ancient place. I always walked out of her studio with colors and textures swirling around my head.
