baked sentiment

the motto of this boston design body's various lines is "make cupcakes not war," with kitsch logo placement prominent in every place you thought of and a few you hadn't. johnny cupcakes sells t-shirts like the one above ($35) and the belt below ($22):

apples and oranges

i love the idea of this t-shirt over at luckythreadz. $16.

toasty

despite the price tag ($98), i'm mad impressed by this hoodie and i want a boys' version on the double! before spring! sort it out turntablelab!

twisted twee

this is the underside of a worry pillow, where you can keep your trepidation suitably under wraps. if you can't tell, the little figures are those tiny little worry dolls folks used to have (£10). and then, let's hypothesize: so its cold, but you you still want to be all cute and rub your clammy palms together? buy these £30 lovers gloves from twisted twee, fine purveyers of kitsch.

the sun'll come out ...

this is another post from uncommon goods. i think we bought this umbrella for a friend of mine's birthday years ago (or we planned to and he bought it himself, i forget), but it stands out in my memory even when i see imitators that do the same thing or a variation. its just a black umbella with a solid wooden handle with a really pleasing white-fluff-clouds on-a-blue-sky-day photo hidden inside of it. i've held the thing in my hands on several occasions and its a very good feeling to look up to. well worth the $48.

snow day

so this red flap beanie hat is the only one they have in stock at suburban blend, so don't get excited about the green. but its retailing for $23.95 which is i think 20% off. i hope other folks are getting sent home too. (its all kinds of blizzardy in the northeast at the mo).

i'll be going away for the weekend and won't be on the interwebs, so apologies if you were just getting into things checking on me and i'm letting you down.

"there is nothing more fantasy than ... peacock ... (wait for it!) ... taaaaail."

oh cavalli. you crazy. to quote my friend nicole: "I LOVED CAVALLI. If a box of cigarettes could talk and be embodied by a person, it would be him. He is like a muppet cigarette box. a talking cigarette. If only he and Donatella did cig ads."

i personally miss the days of season two before "make it work" was so soundbyte-y, but for those less neurotic, please help yourselves to this hand-printed t-shirt ($20) by wire & twine.

big slash?

the word on the slopes is that post-12:00 [2 one 5] is having a 50% off sale, which would be a good opportunity to snag this demand peace t-shirt you've had your eye on ($35 to $17.50 according to my stellar mathematical ability). doesn't appear to be listed yet but give it a minute.
