I Heart Cool Stuff

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!!

I woke up this morning to an email from Dalek announcing his newest print (which is now sold out.). Someday, and I really hope its someday soon, I hope to own some original artwork from Dalek. I really do love his space monkeys and in the mean time I’d appreciate any of his Space Monkey blind box figures, but it seems they’re sold out everywhere– you simply can’t snooze when it comes to these artists.

Anyway– Last night, I’d also spotted a collaboration between Dalek, Internal Affairs and Triumvir. Check after the jump for more info. (more…)

Current Mood: Distraught

Yay, the Mr. and I received our ProKeds Arcade Series sneakers last night. I took plenty of pictures and have posted them on my flickr if you’d like to take a look. I love my sneakers, though I was worried about the colors. I do have to say two things for the women:

1. The wrapping paper that contains the women’s sneakers stains. I noticed when I opened the box that my laces had this “dirt” on them. Then I realized the gold lettering of the wrapping paper had smudged on the sneakers, NOT COOL!

2. If I am ordering the “Arcade Series” sneakers then I believe its because I am highly interested in the design, right? So why do you send my sneakers in a pink, girly box; instead of the Arcade Series box sent to men? Hmm… I don’t like this one bit. I was really looking forward to storing my sneakers in their kick ass box, but nope. If this matters to you, then you should be aware of it. That is all.

p.s. I made a mistake earlier… those Mario Star looking ones are not Mario Stars. They fooled me, but looking at a close up of the sneakers the eyes have slits in them like Pac-Man, so where are they from? Oh the confusion, when the new styles come out I shall try to inform you. Oh, if someone finds kid sized arcade series sneakers, you should tell me. I still want the other designs for myself.

These news aren’t so new, yet… they’re still exciting. Pro-Keds has released an arcade series sneaker collection. <– You can click the link to check out the styles that they have. I really want to get the Super Mario Bros. Star sneakers:

But they’re still not available. I’m not sure when they’ll be available, but of what I know, currently only the Pac-man maze sneakers are available for purchase. I must share that the Mr. and I have just purchased them, yay!!! Take a look:

These are available at Zappos.com You better hurry though, I bought the last 11.5 for my Mr., and second to last of size 8 for ladies. I really wanted the boys, but they don’t have them in a 6. Oh wells. I should let you know that you can check out the Pro-Keds site and check out the entire collection, but their purchase button doesn’t work– so don’t expect to buy these kicks on their site.

I really love robots. I’m not sure what that says about me or my personality but they’re just so cute. My favorite threadless t-shirt is “She Doesn’t Even Realize”, which has a sad little robot with a heart. Oh gosh… anyway I just entered keyword: robot; at etsy.com and this pendant was one of the results. I want it. Someone should buy it for me, please? It costs $8.00 if anyone is interested. Click on the image to check out the site and purchase one for yourself.
