I rediscovered why I love divas this weekend. The intensity and power of their music, the sweet desperation, the ups and downs of love. Uhmmmmm. There is nothing better my friends.
Kioskkiosk is an interesting site that sells products from one foreign country at a time for a brief amount of time. Right now it's Finland (available untill February) They have tons of items (measuring cups, candy, soap, potato alcohol, sauna ladles) I particularly like the simple Scandinavian packaging on this chalk. I love looking at the packaging of foreign products. Even the most mundane items look more interesting, and in the case of Finland, everything is nicely understated.
So I have been familiar with the British label TopMan for awhile now, but I've never realized how amazing thier stuff is. From jackets to sweaters to accessories to special collaborations with more cutting edge designers and artists, TopMan is the most fashion forward and affordable label out there. And now they ship to the states, but it's a bit expensive. My favorites for fall are a double breasted shawl collar cardigan, driving gloves and cobalt blue trench.
