I Heart Cool Stuff

Damn the internets and work for not allowing me to open my email sooner in the day. GamaGo went ahead and realease batch #2 of the YetiBama shirts. What’s different from last time? Not only do they cost you a mere $10, but they come packages with free button and stickers! I went on to purchase my very own shirt, only to discover women’s shirts were all sold out. Damn it!! Please, if a GamaGo personnel reads this, I am an XL (I have no shame) in your women’s tops and want this shirt. In the meantime, men’s shirts are still available so go snag yours now. It seems the next batch will not be this cheap. Lucky you!

I posted about the new Upper Playground shop that opened up in my neighborhood last week, and I believe I was also very clear about how excited I was to finally be able to see their products in person. Tomorrow, I hope to stop by at a decent hour and try to find the New Era hats above. I’m really into Sam Flores (Fatima, left), who designs numerous products for UP and really want to own some kind of apparel from him. I know that hats are technically not apparel, but I can’t get enough of his characters. In addition to the hat above, which costs $45– I’m interested in a bag they have at the shop. (more…)

The lovely duo known as Peskimo has now joined forces with the talents from Momiji to dish out some awesome collaborations for the world. Some of the works include totes, notebooks and pencils– just the kind of stuff I LOVE to get for myself and friends in need of a little happy delivery. I want, I want it all and though everything is in foreign currency, they are all quite affordable. The prices range from about $4-$30. I say, for uber kawaii stuff, the price is not bad at all. Follow the link to buy these for youself and to check out the rest of their inventory. [Peskimo x Momiji]

We’ve spotted Julie West all over the place; shirts, bags, illustrations, paintings, customs, and now it seems we can add drinking glasses to the list of things that Julie has done. Shared on Friday through her flickr, Julie has designed some juice loving cups for Art Star Gallery and Boutique. If you want to pick one up it’ll cost you $18, but you can save $4 if you order a set. Check out Art Star Gallery to purchase.

I’ve posted about Zune Originals before, and now Mr. Rolito has announced that he has joined the ranks of Meomi, Sam Flores and many others by creating his very own addition to the Zune Originals site. I am planning on buying my mother a Zune this Christmas and I think I may just need to get his art etched on the background– okay, maybe I’ll trick her into trading with me. I don’t know– the Mr. got me mine, but this second gen Zune is quite petite and lovely. You can hit the jump for more images and details. (more…)

First thing that should be noted, have you visited ShanaLogic before? I almost feel like an infomercial asking that question, but seriously, have you? I like to believe that it’s a great thing I don’t have much cash because there are so many things on the net I would spend it on, and ShanaLogic would be somewhere along the top of the list of shops I would spend ALL my money at. They have awesome stuff; jewelry, plushies, random accessories. At the moment, I’ve got my eyes on the Phillips Head earrings pictured above. I mean, seriously, they’re just after my heart with the things they come up with.

I WANT, I WANT, I WANT. Aren’t you supposed to say it three times for a wish to be granted? Damn it, I guess that only works for Beetlejuice and Dorthy. You can get these over at ShanaLogic for $35. And, for those of you who may be allegic, they’re sterling silver! Woot-woot!!

I thought this was quite funny. Poor hipsters, they never saw it coming. Thanks to Tim for posting this very witty t-shirt?

Back in January, Jansport held an event for their “Artist Series.” I didn’t pay attention on the KidRobot boards and clearly missed the invite to attend the event. Lucky for me, a very cool cat totally hooked me up with one of Julie West x Jansport bags from the previous Artist Series (girl with balloons).

Well, Julie has just posted the image above on her flickr and already I’m gushing over the messenger bag. I am in love with my current bag and I have to tell you that’s its a lot sturdier then I thought it would be. It’s a huge bag that holds way more items then I wish it did, since it can get heavy. My delight with my current bag is sending me straight to the check out page with the new release. I want!!
