SIXTH FLOOR WALK-UP

For the love of dim sum to Rachel Comey shoes, and carrying groceries up one floor at a time – Benvenuto!

Ladyhawke – Paris is Burning

Even though this song has been around since March of this year, it’s been in my queue on repeat for days now.
Lovin’ it!

Earlier this week Refinery29 shared a glimpse into Arak’s Spring 2010 look book and I am just loving this season’s style.

I am a sucker for boxy shorts, florals, and blazers with rounded shoulders!

Un Sedicesimo

Sedicesimo Antonio Marras Cover

Un Sedicesimo is not a traditional magazine.  Each issue has a different author who is responsible for creating the sixteen-page project which gives each issue a different feel and sensibility.  The magazine is published six times a year. Check out the site for more info: http://unsedicesimo.corraini.com/en/index.php

I’m digging the new video for These New Puritan’s latest single “We Want War” off their sophomore release, Hidden.

Jas M.B.

“All Jas M.B. bags and accessories are hand-made in London and feature his trademark weightless construction in design craftsmanship. In 1993 Jas established his name as a leading accessories designer when he created the first ever DJ bag. By Spring 2000, Jas made a departure from nylon and canvas and returned to working using fine Italian leather, this time dyed and treated in-house. The result was a limited collection called Jas M.B, which was quickly picked up by Barneys New York and YMC in London…selling out within days.” (http://www.doorsbyjasmb.com)

I’ve been stalking Jas M.B. bags at Totokaelo.com (see previous entries on the online retailer here).  I’m in need of a well-crafted and functional leather bag.  One day I’ll get me hands on one of these!

I hope everyone has a fabulous holiday.  My fam and I are going to break open a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that I bought at the Benziger Family Winery during my trip to Napa Valley.  See a photo from the vineyard, here.

Friendly Fires – Skeleton Boy

I forget about you
I lose myself in flashing colors
I’ve gotta see it through”

I’m in love with these half boots.  I’ve been eyeing them on Totokaelo.com for over a month now.
