I told myself I wouldn't start looking at spring or summer collections until we had some sort of winter but I'm no longer holding my breath.

Check out the rest of their lookbook here. -Bob

I die for 'leather jacket #5' in purple from BLK DNM! I am, in fact, quite enamored with this label as of late. I mean, have you also seen the goat suede cape?! X - Jen
Attention all zinesters! Museum of Modern Art in NYC is having an exhibition called Print Studio (4 West 54th St) right now. My fav thing to do there is to peruse the photo books from the Reanimation Library, make photocopies, and then go back into the images, manipulating them with an acetone transfer pen. There will be demos and workshops there and everything is totally free. It's open Wednesday through Monday from 11am-4pm and runs until March 9. -Maggie Lee
Greg Gallegos of the Natural Selection Studio uses woodturning and dyes to create these beautiful bowls. We love that although the colors are bright, they can all be found in nature. Just add these to the list of things we really want, thanks!
What's pastel pink, totally rad and has a giant unicorn head? The Dog Show store in Los Angeles! The candy-colored weirdo boutique currently stocks '90s sportswear but come summer the shop will be filled with cool swimwear. They also have a cat phone that meows instead of rings! Wowza! - Hazel
"The landscape in Vietnam has been beautiful, and the traffic has been terrifying and annoying. Misty mountains, rice fields, and water buffalo along with non-stop honking and oncoming buses entering your lane to pass out traffic in front of them. As a cyclist, you can’t take your eyes off the road without risking your life.
You totally have my permission to freak out over the new MANIAMANIA collection. I'll be right alongside of you wondering when all these pieces will find their ways onto our hands (and arms and neck). X - Jen
