[ samal design ] 7dpi


we all know how much i love super mario brothers for NES. so imagine how sad i am that ever since we got new furniture for my bedroom, i haven't re-hooked up my wii. its been FOREVER since i've played super mario, donkey kong, etc. i wasn't the one who hooked up my wii in the first place, so i'm being a brat and not doing it hahaha. someone come hook it up for meee! tanks!

and speaking of pixelated realnezz, these glasses by samal design are freakin fabulous. once again (and i must say it), big bang needs to wear these in an upcoming music video and/or performance and/or photo shoot - specifically gdragon and TOP. to be honest, i wanna wear them too!!

[ eileen renger kundin ] where the wild things are slippers


someone remind me to do a "request off" form for the first weekend of may. i MUST go to ny and see  my ruvs - autumnus and olicakes <3 <3 <3 also. can i just say. i need to either 1) send babbycakes some presents from me and my moomy or 2) take said presents with me to new york and give them to him there. either way, autumnus will prob smack me cus i cant stop shopping for the lil man. but isn't that what 이모s (imo=auntie) do?? i think so!

someone please stop me before i (or MAKE ME) buy these wolfish slippers for olicakes. handmade by eileen renger kundin, you can choose from a buncha diff faux fur fabrics. inspired by where the wild things are, these are too darn cute. and they come in adult sizes. so basically i should buy one for olicakes, one for autumnus, one for erise my ruv, and one for myself. the whole motley ragtag raggamuffin crew <3

[ microworks ] farfalle!


been trucking to get through this work week because it's my weekend off this weekend AND it's my birthday this coming monday. therefore - PARTAYYYYY.  obviously, i should wear my birthday suit (harharhar) for the occasion.

and what better way to complete any outfit than a bowtie made to look like pasta? the acrylic clip-on by japanese design label microworks is adorable and comes in a bunch of fun colors. there are conveniently five colors to choose from which means big bang should probably wear them in their next MV. just sayin'...

[ runway to win ] tracy reese


ok so it's valentine's day and this entry is completely unrelated but whatever. found this via twitter last night and uhm - WHAT. i find it awesome, interesting, and completely different that they're having well-known designers design obama gear for his campaign! [though this may have been done before and i was just unaware?] i sooo want the above cropped sweatshirt by tracy reese, the below white sleeveless tee by rachel roy, and MOST DEFINITELY the "let us be clear" hoodie by alexander wang. gimme!!! the derek lam bag below made me think of jen unnz~

and i guess there IS a way for me to tie this into valentine's day. just looked at the site again and saw this: receive 10% off all orders of $10 or more with the code LOVEOBAMA. do itttt!

[ christian tagliavini ] dame di cartone


we got a mini-shipment of aveda's newest makeup collection two days ago. love love love the colors!!! but doing shipment = cutting open lots of cardboard boxes = cardboard flakes all over my clothes = grrr.

now if my clothes were MADE of cardboard like these by christian tagliavini, then i wouldn't have to worry about that! though i'd prob have to worry about something else. like... the fact that cardboard clothes are pretty stiff. or... maybe don't have a back to them? ㅋㅋ thanks to jen unnz for pointing me in the direction of these awesome works~

[ lacoste x genevieve gauckler ] t-shirt


ok so me and my moomy are the annoying aunties that keep buying stuff for olicakes (sorry autumnus). seriously, we have a problem. i literally went to annapolis mall for work the other day - not usually where i work - and there were all these stores that we don't have at our mall. and i managed to literally shop at the one location that was for babbies. LITRELL. so yeah. autumnus. expect a package in the mail soon -_______- hahaha.

ok so disclaimer, i didn't buy this for olicakes but when david BB showed it to me, i seriously wanted to see olicakes rocking one of these. awesome collaboration between lacoste and genevieve gauckler. the lacoste crocodile looks dinosaur-ish to me, so - honestly - i thought of autumnus before i realized these were kid's tees.

[ vík prjónsdóttir ] baby sealpelt


sorry for my absence in the blogosphere. i just said blogosphere. im sleepy. yawn.

i went to michigan this past weekend to see my LOVES. erise my ruv, autumnus, olicakes, and david big butt. (i do love me some nicknames, don't i?) in any case, it was an amazing trip and WAY TOO SHORT. i miss them so mucheeeee already! but we had loads of fun - eating delicious yumyums, opening wine bottles with absolute precision, watching elmo dance like a GRANGSTA - ya know, the usual hehehe.

anyway, olicakes has grown SO MUCH (make him stop!!!!!!!!!). and the night before i go to michigan, my mom goes out to buy him a buncha clothes and then comes home and repacks me a BIGGER suitcase for all his stuff hahaha. loveeee! and i basically wish this had been part of the things we packed cus WHAT. can we get this for him? how CUTE would olicakes look in this, PEOPLE. it's like a snuggie but full body, made of icelandic sheep wool. plus - every purchase of the baby sealpelt (there are adult ones too btw ahem) from now til march 2012, goes towards supporting the family of sigrún lára kjartansdótti, a little baby fighting an aggressive and rare form of cancer. good product, good cause!

[ 6 picks ] turquoise & gold

it's january but the weather still hasn't made up its mind which season it wants to be. rainy in the high 50s one day, sunny and 28 the next, snowing and 30 another day. i don't even know what i'm supposed to be wearing half the time w/ the weather all crazy like this!

makes me long for a warm early spring day, foggy mornings and golden rays of sunlight peeking through the trees. when it's still sorta cool out and the air has a blue tinge to it almost. which is probably why i've been attracted to lots of blue/yellow art/design pieces lately. so i gathered them up and put em here for you~

[ 6 picks ] happy 2012

ok so i haven't blogged in a REALLY long time. working retail + holiday season = walking zombie sahar. soOo! sorry bout that devoted readers! but now that the holiday season is over (for the most part) and it's the NEW YEAR, i'm here with a new entry - finally.

spent new year's eve at my big brutha howie's house. me and jen unnz picked up butterscotch vodka, apple juice, and vodka-infused whipped cream. oh the alcoholic butterbeer-ness of it all. hahaha but seriously it was delicious. idea totally stolen from shaundawg.

so here are 6 picks all decked out for new year's. amazing time with amazing people <3 and the next day was a less-than-amazing time with amazing pho. go figure ^_~
