I really wish I had this skill level in sewing. I am currently planning a nice weekender bag. This bag is a great piece of inspiration.

Damn you Rodarte meets Opening Ceremony! This is ridiculous, I should have known that when these two fashion houses meet they would make something genius. Superb.

Luzzi

Another Etsy post, I know. I can't help it these Golden Forest Boots are stunning!

Tourniquete

I love old medical stuff. It's usually interesting and to me, aesthetically pleasing; like this Wooden First Aid Kit.

Studio Visit with Kinji Akagawa

Studio visit with artist and family friend Kinji Akagawa. This is one of the best interviews I've had.

The Best Skateboarding Video Ever

I'm in love, it's the head over heels kind, literally I guess. I came across this video on a few different blogs. It's Kilian Martin for Man About Town, I usually don't go for the skateboarder type but, I definably go for the refined throw-back with snazzy socks type. Though, I did go through a phase at age about 13 when I started skateboarding. I love everything about this video: the clothes, the location, the time of day, & the music. My lousy film stills do it no justice so go see it for yourself. Did I mention I have a huge crush on this video? Talk about a dancing dreamboat.
