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.

Though I’m already completely content with my Usher sunglasses (aka sunglasses that Usher has worn), my latest obsession is keeping on top of eyewear trends. They’re a bit Lady GaGa-like, but when I saw the FONTANA sunglasses from American Apparel, I couldn’t stop repeating the word combination of “Hannah Fontana” in my head, nor can I get the image of the center tortoise ones out of my mind. Call me lame. Dare you.
 
Anyway, they’re an interesting shape – retro vs borderline weird. I’m pretty sure they’re unisex – so boys …

I think I’ve been bitten by a Python!
 
And although that sounds pretty daring and quite adventurous of me… it’s not a real snake. Rather, I’ve been “bitten” by a pair of Silence & Noise Ankle Zip Python Leggings. Just about the entire female population of the world (or at least the ones I’ve seen or know) have been rocking a pair of leggings for months, if not, even years. In my defense, it’s not that I’m late on this supposed trend; I just never found ones that were “to-die-for”. In …

Ever seen those wallets made of duct tape that guys seem to tote around with pride in high school? Have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about? Well all’s fair in love and recycling I suppose. The recycled necktie and suit wallet was designed by Laura Skelton, with the exterior being of a silk tie and the interior of suit material. Nothing like a fancy hybrid for your carrying pleasure. $28.00 says you should get on it boys – what’dya say?

One of my latest and greatest finds has been this messenger bag from alice+olivia (love their brand, their website could…use a lot of work because it’s just a picture of a trampoline). Regardless, this lovely thang is being strung from my shoulder until I get my hands on a coveted purse (which I will disclose later…for fear of judgement).
