Happy Friday

Eskimo kisses to you all!

Pee Wee tee

Are you a loner, a rebel, or just a die hard Pee Wee fan? Maybe you need one of these Pee Wee tuxedo shirts available from chocosho.

Baby it's cold outside

Notonthehighstreet.com has an excellent collection of cold weather wear in groovy Scandinavian patterns. I only wish I had time to import one of these pieces before the frigid walk to the subway tonight.

Tech friendly gloves

Did I happen to mention that it is cold as a witch's hooha here in NYC today? It's cold enough that taking off your gloves to make a phone call, or to skip over a Billy Joel song on your ipod can be a mighty painful experience. Enter touch gloves which are warm leather gloves with specially crafted ultra sensitivity patches on the thumb and forefinger. No longer do your fingers have to suffer, and you are in no danger of accidentally calling your ex that hates you (why is his/her number still in your phone anyhow?!?) when your clumsy woolen glove punches the wrong button. Good idea!

Belly warmers

Aaron sent over this link to Ping Magazine's article about Japanese belly warmers. Apparently these are some sort of old fashioned granny panties re-thunk by a Japanese designer and created to be worn on the outside. According to the site they do everything from just plain keeping you warm, to making you more fit, easing menstural cramps and aiding in digestion. It's a shame that nobody is offering these on any English websites because I think I could really use one today!

Avoid the brown ones

Here's another great Valentine's Day gift idea for that special lady in your life. It's a thong bikini made entirely of candy!

Super tee

My good friend Catherine sent over this link for a seriously awesome tee shirt. I love the cross-stitch look, especially since I didn't have to poke my finger 10 million times to achieve it, and any shirt with beavers is a-ok in my book. Good find Catherine!

Men in tights

I can't even begin to comment on this, but apparently Marni is showing men's leggings in their Fall collection. Anyone have an opinion on this breaking fashion news story? Via Yahoo news.

I heart you

I am really into Valentine's day, so I will probably post a whole bunch of ideas for gifts and activities (clean ones that is) for this most romantic of holidays.
Here is post #2 filed under Valentine gifts and is not for the faint of heart. It is a silk scarf hand painted by Crystal J. with anatomically correct hearts on it. From Etsy. Delightful!

I'll be tee-d if I don't get this shirt

Orange Lola is selling a variety of lovely sort of Mexican, sort of Dutch tee shirts especially for Valentines Day. Hope my husband is reading today because I would really really like one!

Hey elephant legs

Somehow I think these would not be all that flattering on me...

Grrrrr

Alright, I need these too darned if they aren't also from Anthropologie.

Fab-u-lous

Laying here looking at catalogs and surfing the internet is dangerous stuff...just look what I already found that I must own. These shoes are by my absolute favorite shoe maker Chie Mahara and are for sale at my most favorite store Anthropologie!

Yes!

Thank you oh joy for posting these fabulous photos of the new Go International designs for Target that are coming out in February. I am saving all the $9.99's I can till then!

Let's not skirt the issue

On a gray and unseasonably warm day here in NYC it's tempting to think about the coming spring. These skirts are so springy they've got my mind skipping through a meadow of daisies. On the site www.madewithlovebyhannah.com there are so many excellent examples of gorgeous hand printed skirts it truly boggles the mind! Oh, by the way, be sure to stop by the "made with love by grandma" section where she is selling some really cute popcicle stick purses and crocheted items. Way to go grandma!
