All Things Chill

When Liana went to NY for business, she stopped by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) store to pick me up the Griffin + Chilewich iPhone case that I’ve been pining after for since I tweeted this:
I favorited a YouTube video — Griffin Technology and Chilewich http://bit.ly/15Zkct
…which you can see right here:

Ironically enough, she picked [...]

Taterpots! Liana and I picked this lil’ guy up from Greg’s on Hawthorne street (OMG cuuuute neighborhood) last weekend. Clifford, his newly ordained name, has the ability to look totally like a potato *AND* grow small herbs out of a little hole in his head. Doesn’t he look happy in the picture [...]

The Average Day by Mr. Jones Watches. Awe. This is one hell of a watch. No numbers, no tick marks, just two easy to follow concentric circles that guide you through the actions of a normal day. It’d be morbidly depressing if not for the bright colors and super clean design. [...]

I’m going to pick up some new kicks today – some gray surplus Jack Purcell® sneakers from J.Crew. I’ve been wearing my old pair of Campers for so long that it’s time to rock a more subdued set of footwear. They were great everyday shoes and went with pretty much everything but [...]

Flickr album here. Just a couple of quick pictures of the new store while Liana was shopping (lol AGAIN). I’m really impressed with how the place looks. Believe me, they didn’t have much to work with. LOL.
YAY DV.

Liana’s employer Dolce Vita – fine maker of uber fashionable shoes and clothing, is opening a boutique in Seattle this Saturday (tomorrow)! We just got back from steaming some mannequins’ clothes, sweeping the floor and drinking copious amounts of low quality beer. Here’s to the first day open!
Cheers!

Easter Style: Purple pin-stripped John Varvatos shirt + Eggshell plaid Ben Sherman tie. If you’re not familiar with Varvatos’ work (yes Jorge, I know you’ve rocked his cologne for FOREVER), check his wiki here and homepage here. The man has already rolled out a line for Converse – I’m already trying to [...]

Ben Sherman tie, BCBG shirt. WHAT.
It’s my stylo

The Nespresso / Delonghi Lattissima is an espresso machine. A uber-luxurious, titanium-plated espresso machine. It’s compatible with the Nespresso’s system of using caffeinated and decaffeinated, color-coded and hermetically (airtight) sealed espresso capsules that have a shelf-life over one year. Targeted at the most finicky of coffee aficionados, it’s priced at $799USD ($699 [...]

According to my connections in New York (lol I’ve always wanted to say that), there is a new wrist accessory** that is getting HUGE on the east coast. Now, please don’t get me wrong… I hardly follow the trends blindly (unless Jacqui says so) – which is perfectly described in t-shirt form here and [...]

Hoodies. I just realized that I’m gonna need a LOT of hoodies. LOTS. Something like THIS or THIS. I don’t want huge prints or repeating designs (it’s not my thang)… I just want some really chill lounge-wear… which I will magically transform into OUTSIDE PUBLIC CLOTHES. LOL.
I’m on [...]

This one is for Jorge (a.k.a. The Curious J), my fellow resident dj on the Dogglounge. Teruo’s Mic Roots t-shirt. I’ve been checkin’ out Teruo’s stuff for a while now, since they participated in both the Hayes Valley block party and Haight-Ashbury Fair.
Teruo has a lot of simple, clean urban designs… but what [...]

Larger image here. More detailed image here. Last night, in an effort to subside the voices in my head my OCD (probably set off by LauLau’s borrowed copy of David Sedaris’ Naked), I carefully removed everything out of my bag, placed it on a table and took a picture. Now [...]
