All Things Chill

Liana and I hit up Haight – Ashbury yesterday… when we were SUPPOSED to take advantage of Bank of America’s Museums on Us promotion (if you have a BoA card, you and a guest get in select museums for free). It was SOOOOOOOOOOO incredibly nice out so LauLau suggested we chill out and hit [...]

Ending next Monday: 15% off Writing Instruments @ Franklin Covey. That means their stock of the playful and reliable ACME pens are on sale too. I’m fond of the Blueprint and Dots (designed by Charles and Ray Eames!) patterns. Good “Boss” gift or self-present. Stop using those damn $0.03 [...]

Best “wear on your birthday t-shirt” EVAR. This is for the sake of prosperity (and a couple credits on my Threadless street team account). Thanks to Joyce, master of **ALLTHINGSPENGUINS**, for the picture! Have a safe trip back to Chicago!
EEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Oh, Threadless. Why must you make me love t-shirts? I was perfectly happy with collar-ed shirts and v-neck sweaters. Sigh. One of their oldest designs, Follow it (in that sexy banana color), is finally back in stock. I’ve been waiting for this one to come around once more for months!
I [...]

Someone from work hooked me up with a goody bag of sample fragrances, which I took with much appreciation. I have a couple favorites (which may or may not knock my all-time favorite Issey from the spot on my bathroom shelf), but the one that stood out the most was Marc Jacobs’ fragrance of [...]

I went to do a lil’ shopping (which I really shouldn’t do) after work today and tried on the American Eagle Field Jacket. It’s low key without being boring and not plastered with crazy logos, numbers or ugly graphics all over it. Thank goodness. Yay for clean design!
So, I look though the [...]

I’ve been jockin’ West Elm (here and here) ever since college… and finally… I’m in the position to buy something from them. The Kenya Print Duvet Cover will arrive at my doorstep sometime on Friday. MWMWAHAHAHAHA. A huge thanks goes to store manager Ryan from the Corte Madera store here in CA.
I [...]

What do you do when your company is suffering from 3 bad cases of brand identity? ADD ANOTHER ONE TO MESS IT UP EVEN MORE OF COURSE! According to Little Jenny C, Gap Inc. has created another brand… this time focusing on shoes. The new online-only site, Piperlime.com joins the already [...]

…but if I still had plans of keeping the red iPod nano and the Nike+ module, I’d definitely get these shoes. I introduce you to the Air Zoom Moire+ (style# 314496) in “steath” and “industrial orange” (color # 081).
An incredibly lightweight and flexible running shoe, the Air Zoom Moire offers up a super comfortable [...]

T-shirts. They’re as ubiquitous as… well… I dunno. I mean, what is as ubiquitous as a t-shirt? Blue jeans? Apples pie? Hula hoops? Styx? LOL. How does that phrase go again? Maybe. Well anyway, I messed that opening line up royally. ROFL.
What I’m [...]

I got new kicks!
Cole Haan Aleck Strap Loafer
$165.00
Style # C04894
Modern strap slip-on in soft polished and buffed leather. Fully leather lined. Brick red sock lining. Sleek flexible rubber sole.
They’re not as light as my Tsubos (I still love them), but they fit great and keep my feet as snug as a bug in a rug… [...]

Alexis, my new co-worker, has the cutest dual-faced watch so she can track whether or not her significant other (damn. LOL) in Germany would be awake enough to exchange OHIMEEEEESSSSYYYYOOUHHHHHZZZZZBEBEEEHHH’s. Now I have the bug. The dual-faced watch thing, not the cutesy phone talk. I mean, I *like* the cutesy phone [...]

@ Banana Republic’s Friends & Family sale. One black wool three-button suit blazer, black wool flat-front suit pant and the refined-dot tie… 30% off. YAY.
It sounds cheesy, but I’ve missed being *required* to dress like this for work. Actually, I’ve really missed having an excuse to build up my suiting collection [...]
