KOR ONE – Water Redesigned. This arrived on my radar at just the right time – right after buying my second Starbucks water-glass, it was recalled with good reason. In came the KOR water bottles, a slick and beautiful collective of vibrant water bottles, and a feature-filled product. Benefits? Plentiful:
 

Made from BPA-free Tritan, health-safe materials
Hinged cap for easy open and close (no cap to hold when drinking!)
Threadless, perfect sized spout (unlike screw?on caps, you won’t feel like you’re drinking from a water hose)
Does not retain or impart …

Boyfriend Jeans? That was so 2009. This year, the spotlight’s on Fidelity Denim’s new collection of vintage western and Boyfriend Shirts for Spring 2010. While I admit that the idea of a denim shirt frightened me at first, the button-ups soon won me over with their cool, rugged, laid-back look that any boyfriend-shirt-wearing girl would appreciate. The shirts come in 2 different styles and 7 different washes – my personal faves are the the Louis in Crude, and the Ted in Ombre. Just pair …

Don’t you dare let your imagination run wild with the title – Kid Robot’s playing with plush as they offer up the Pocket Wee Ninja Plush (4 inch ninja). Why wouldn’t you pay ten dollars for four inches (no, no…don’t go there)?
 
Standing at 4-inches tall this pint-sized ninja is a master of the stealth hug, sneak snuggle and nubs of tickle fury.
 
Love.

Kudos to the girl with the most stunningly blown out hair I’ve seen as of late. I dig this perfectly contrasted black and white photo. But not more than her perfectly done frocks.

Cloud 9 Cloud 9 Cloud 9. It’s a play name that’s been spinning in this one’s head for a bit. That alongside an ultimate misread – how was I to know that a play about sexuality wouldn’t have a more fitting name than “A comedy of multiple organisms”. You’d be jaded not to know what the misread would have been. Off to see this play today at the Panasonic Theatre Box Office. Lovely times to ensue – will let you know how it is. Admittedly, I haven’t attended a play …

My loves Dragonette is going to be on tour with Little Boots and Fan Death. While Fan Death isn’t as familiar as the other names to me, I’m all to certain that this is going to be a blast of a tour (they’re slated to come to Toronto on April 30th – anyone down?)
 
As if that wasn’t enough to get overexcited when opening my email, I’ve been provided with an amazing remix of Pick Up The Phone by Arithmatix! (I know, there have been way many of them). But trust, …

Tik Tok on the clock and the party don’t stop (no, oh oh until 20 minutes later because that’s when it did). The KE$HA Party in Toronto was a little treatlet that was dropped a week before – thanks Sony. While the party was pretty bumping (yes, alongside some sweethearted 16 year olds with KE$HA-like makeup), it ended quickly. Loved the lasers, relished in the ribbon, and giggled at the band. Some good times were had by Wynne and I.
 
Thanks KE$HA! Thanks also for the video that someone managed to …

I’m going to confess to two things today. One: I actually like this song. I’m sorry. Trust that it isn’t reflective of my usual tastes. Two: I like what the girl is wearing throughout the video. Whoever thought to mix plaid/flannel with leather? Creative genius.
 
Don’t unsubscribe, please forgive me! I kid. Love.

While I have mixed feelings about method products themselves (love the aesthetic, love the premise), while jumping on their blog I found this great do-it-yourself bit on eco-friendly, hipster scarves. A stringy wonder bunched at the neck, these scarves make for a great accessory and are beyond easy to create. A little spaghetti like and a little unconventional, but plenty original. The steps below.
 
1.    grab some cotton t-shirts you don’t wear anymore.  larger sizes tend to work better as do non-ribbed shirts with no side seams. small logos on the …

I glimpsed EZRA Constantine at the Greta Constantine show in Fall 2009 at un-fashion week. Welcome the new line – it’s the official launch for Spring/Summer 2010, shot by Mckenzie James. It’s dark, it’s gang-oriented (no, really), dark, hostile, contemporary, dark, utilitarian, and…dark. They call the pieces “pieces that form the uniform for the man of tomorrow”. I probably wouldn’t mind that if the wearer looked like these models.
 
Boys, thoughts?
