From New York 06/29/09Yoko Devereaux Liquidation Celebration permalinkYoko Devereaux’s Liquidation Celebration starts today online and continues until July 2nd. With tees and tanks marked as low as $5 it might be enough to help you forget that they’re closing their doors. Sniffle, sniffle. |
From Chicago 06/24/09Junghwan Chei permalinkThe School of the Art Institute of Chicago student Junghwan Chei designed a pillow made explicitly for napping while working at your desk, so you no longer need to rest your head on a stack of papers. |
From Boston 06/22/09LightLane permalinkLightLane was developed by designers at Altitude to encourage commuting by bike.

From New York 06/10/09Zebra #2 Mechanical Pencil permalinkZebra’s #2 Mechanical Pencil couples the precision and ease of a mechanical pencil with the timeless style of an old school #2.

From Elsewhere 04/07/09Boxed Water is Better permalinkOur friends laugh at us when we buy the boxed-wine, but good things do come in cardboard rectangles (Juicy Juice, anyone?).

From Elsewhere 03/16/09Slanties permalinkThe slogan of Baltimore-based Slanties is “Not so bad, once you get used to it.” Based off the design of ancient Inuit eyewear, they are supposed to protect your eyes from the sun and, if cared for properly, will last for 800 years. The future of Slanties does not, actually, look so bright you have to wear Slanties. |
From New York 03/03/09Wake’N Bacon permalinkFrom here on out, we’re aiming for as many bacon related posts as possible (sorry, vegetarians).
