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.

While bustiers are all the rage right now in low-range retailers across the nation, I would never think that a hybrid would be a byproduct of this trend. Introducing, the Bustier Cardigan (unless this unusual apparel has been around longer than I care to know). In my periodic shuffle through online shopping sites, I came across this one from Forever 21 and felt the need to go out of my way to applaud this stare-worthy sweater. Hilarious, or just bad news? If you look at the one on the model …

Can’t…stop…yelling. But at least it’s hands free. Thanks to Chris I’m the proud owner of this hands free car-clipped blue tooth speakerphone, so I no longer have to fumble while driving or…just not answer for hours. And makes for a lot of: “Hey that girl’s crazy she keeps talking to the sky, freak”.
 
A product of late-night Wal-Mart visiting from holiday season, this wicked device makes for the perfect addition to the Fashion Tech Section of urbanebloc.com (yeah yeah, always thinking content). For under $80.00, this was an easy-install (literally clip-pair-use). …

I’m the geekiest geek that ever geeked. But even this is pretty…geekalicious. I’ll stop there with the variations on the word geek. But aren’t these simply the best things you’ve ever laid your eyes on? I’m fairly familiar with custom kicks, but this takes it to a new level. These shoes make you look at them in awe and leave you curious as to how it makes you so happy with one glance.

Lustre Boutique was a stunning little find when Gem and I went to Montreal late May. It was the one store that was open late (whilst we were looking for a cafe/nightspot) that we came upon. Nothing short of amazing, the boutique housed gorgeous and unique pieces from designer Yasmine Wasfy. Though I didn’t end up with the perfect skirt as hoped, I did take home the necklace pictured above, by the jewelry line Thai Hand. Inclusive of vintage pieces and semi-precious stones, this was my dimepiece for the trip. …

It’s the NICE GUY Shirts – from WongFu Productions. If you haven’t heard of them, they’re an up and coming Asian production company. They’ve created some solid videos while I was in university – entertaining yet speak only truth about social commentary. “Jia You” or “Ga Yow” is definitely a university saying that stuck for me (this coming from the jooksingest girl around) – it means to “add oil”, which is a saying that Chinese invented regarding adding oil to make you go faster (though that doesn’t translate so well)

I’ve been coveting this dress for a little while, and ever since I had my cupcake hangfest with CarolynVan I’ve been obsessing over dresses (it’s been a day). Regardless, this dress came across my mind again, and I couldn’t believe that I had managed to find Lily Allen’s get up from Acne Jeans (Baroque Dress). On sale from $1,089.64 to $360.59 (uhm, well, if you put it that way it looks like an utter steal), this little diddy is now available in a whopping one size (4). Hurts. Anyway, glad …

A tinge hilarious (that seems to be the buzzword as of late) – but I love how there’s the unnerving familiarity between brands and retailers sometimes (lest Aldo lifted this lovely design). If you have no idea what I’m talking about, basically I purchased identical cage sandals from Aldo deemed the BREGANTINIS (click for post), only to find today from my daily spam-out from UrbanOutfitters that Kimchi Blue makes nearly the same goods (except fully leather). Just another keen daily observation, now we have options! (clap…clap)

Does anyone remember those days when we kids of the Gen Y would literally make illustrations of text? One such favourite – the classic heart (less than three or the classic S2). Well, weS2u has taken it to the next level and branded their adorable merchandise by this name. I whisked by this initially at The Clothing Show, but did a double take when I saw the incredibly adorable packaging (must stop using cute words). Spanning from drink dispensers to ice cream pops, their apparel (t-shirts and socks) are seemingly …

Come summer I’m a complete shorts fiend – pretty much any time I’m not at work I’ll be donning a pair of shorts. I’ve been obsessed with these pair ever since I picked them up from American Eagle – they’re perfectly washed and worn in upon purchase (yes, we all love buying new-old-seeming things these days, that’s why vintage is thriving). Perfect for frolicking in the sun and being active, the AE Destroyed Cutoff Shorts are the perfect go-to for running amuck.
