Go big

1. $1.99 laundry/grocery/everyday polka dot bag from Ikea, will you be mine?
2. Upon seeing this girl's little big prehistoric guy on a cute chunk of thigh, I now want a dinosaur tattoo.

3. Dreamy, denim print silk dress by Tata Naka...it's on Luisaviaroma, of course it's not cheap.

Sehnsucht

One of my favorite metropolises in the world, Berlin, hosts their Spring 2011 shows this week and I've been coming across all kinds of sweet events and parties you should not miss if you are in the German capital.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

1. Daniel Palillo ying-yang bike shorts...I could so see these on the In Living Color fly girls, or on myself ridin' round the cit-ay.

2. My new pointy wooden ring looks like a roof on my finger. Stand back!

3. I just got this giant knit "pouf" from CB2 for my bedroom...who needs chairs?

4. Epic ode to Master of Puppets Metallica tee by Mikio Sakabe, found at RA and it might have to be mine.

5. Some crazy siamese ring situation I can't stop staring at from Slow & Steady Wins the Race (via OC). It's a marriage of two fingers!

Water World

The other day a friend forwarded me a lookbook from recent Parsons grad Mary Chin, claiming it was "right up my alley." Not only was she right, but the timing couldn't be more perfect as Mary's SS10 collection is all about liquid...and I'm all about being in the ocean right now (Costa Rica here I come!!). A cool palette of icy whites and turquoise blues transform neoprene, liquid chiffon, and latex into a dreamy watery world I wouldn't mind taking a dip into.

Stick up

I got a peek at what will be hitting Topshop stores in a couple months for the fall season, and found a few choice pieces I'll be keeping an eye out for. It's really awful to be thinking this far ahead when I haven't even figured out how to dress for summer yet...cutoffs and sweat-friendly tops seems to be the drill. Anyway, seeing as "fall" starts in August for retail, I'm most liking the summery and transitional pieces as I can't even look at fur or flannel right now in this stank heat. YUCK.
