Renegade Handmade permalink
No longer just a craft fair, the Renegade girls have gone renegade, opening a storefront on Chicago’s Division Street. Open every day from 11-7, it’s almost as overwhelmingly awesome as the craft fair itself.

Shortcomings permalink
"I’m so cute! I listen to indie rock! But… I’m sad. Can you relate?” Adrian Tomine at the Philadelphia Public Library. It’s sort of like getting to see a real live bookworm in his natural habitat.

Margie’s Candies permalink
Margie’s Candies has been a Chicago institution since the early 20s, churning out milkshakes and sundaes into the wee small hours of the morning. Al Capone ate here, so did the Beatles after playing Comiskey Park. If a half-gallon clamshell of homemade ice cream is good enough for Ringo… (Image via Senor Codo.)

Rodan Vs Griffith permalink
We’re bummed we missed the Let’s Go Sailing in-store at the Rodan Vs Griffith store last nite. Not only is it one of our fave left coast shops, but it’s run by a former UO employee. Bonus!

Rachel Zoe permalink
This weekend’s NY Times Magazine featured a pretty hefty article about Rachel Zoe (far right); stylist to the stars, and a brand unto herself...no matter what her detractors might say.

Louis Vuitton - Superflat Monogram permalink
Note our new “history” category. We just think there’s some older stuff that’s made it around the web that is worthy of a reprise. This video, which was an ad campaign for Louis Vuitton, was based on characters created by famed superflat artist Takashi Murakami. Murakami and Marc Jacobs had earlier collaborated to create LV’s multi-colored logo design that features prominently in this video. And to bring this post up to date, Murakami designed the cover art for Kanye’s latest CD. All good stuff. Class dismissed.
