yes to smoochie

i love my light blue fiorucci zip-up hoodie with the angels on the back -- it's the same one alex mack wears in a scene from "ten things i hate about you!" now fiorucci is the latest brand to team up with target. to mark the occasion, you can send a fiorucci smoochie to the boy or girl of your dreams. i picked "2 shy 2 say hi" for my sweetheart. what about you?

so jealous

today's "person i wish i could be" is actually two: tegan and sara quin. first, they're twins, every girl's dream (at the very least until teenhood hits). second, they're rock stars. with cool haircuts and clothes. third, and most immediate: they appear in a cute new psa for peta2, asking very nicely, "if you wouldn't wear your dog, please don't wear any fur."

harajuku lovers

help a girl out -- i'm still puzzled over this ad in the june/july issue of nylon! it's for a company called laundry/sunny girl california, and their clothes feature a really cute heart logo with the word "love" inside. but when i go to their website, it's a japanese company with no info on how to get the clothes unless you're on meiji street in the harajuku!

look what they say: "we offer to create 'cheap and rough california style.' " i want it.

to have and to hold

one of my dear friends from high school is due to become a new mommy at the end of the month -- baby gift time! i was browsing the infantwear at nordstrom and came across the coolest little onesies from a label called monsters with sideburns. trompe l'oeil headphones and pacifiers hang around the kid's neck on a couple. but my favorite is the one that says "pick me up" and shows thumbs where you hands should go. don't know if the mom-to-be would like them, or baby-on-the-way for that matter. maybe it'd be better to start off with the classics and let him develop his own sense of style. still, monsters with sideburns: they clothe hip children.

black sheep

the new flock of L.A.M.B. is out like a lion, and gwen wants everyone to look inside her pants. read the AP article here.

that mrs. rossdale is such a doll. she knows her fame from no doubt is what brought her instant fashion success, and politely apologizes for "cutting in line."

lucky frock

i thought i was getting a good deal when i ordered a blue butterfly print soundgirl blouse from fredflare.com on sale for $4.99. the box was delivered by ups today, and imagine my surprise -- inside was a sundress in the same print (the flutter dress) that they're selling for $54. no $5 shirt. oopsy! lucky for me, they got the right size. unlucky for you, you can't order the blouse from fredflare anymore, so you'll have to play full price for the sweet little dress. a shame. i would have liked having a little western-style blouse, though.
