CRATE & BARREL SUCK!

you see this shade of red? its the color of my rage right now as i’ve had the worst-ever experience with this ridiculous company named crate & barrel. do NOT ever buy furniture from this place. they sent two incorrect pieces to assemble a piece of furniture in two separate deliveries over the past week and lo and behold, their 24 hour customer care line just asked me to call back tomorrow morning. wtf? utter morons! crate & barrel, this means war!!

fashion flashback: undercover fall 2008…

hot on the heels of new york-london-milan-paris fashion week kicking off today, i had a moment of reflection this morning: which collections in all of my years of fashion show viewing remain my favorite? making the grade in more ways than one was jun takahashi’s amazeballs fall 2008 interpretation. this show blew my mind in paris to such an extent i can feel my jaw hit the floor as i continue to type these words. just utterly epic. in my opinion, in all probability, we’re lucky if we score 3 – 4 great collections each season. and although i’m the eternal optimist, the chances of finding another awe-inspiring collection like this are slim. jun takahashi shout-outs and big love to his amazing team in tokyo!!


when great things happen to great people…

here’s a shining example of organic brilliance in full effect. JB & NIC taylor are the wunderkinds of thunderwing press. i dig their style and their energy so what happens? we hook up a contra deal: i spread the word about their snazzy letterpress stationary in exchange for some amazing DELINLEE DELOVELY personalized magic. before too long the grapevine starts to sizzle and BAM, i send a note to my dear pal garance dore (girlfriend of scott schuman aka the sartorialist). double bam! she loves it, she orders some stationary, and what do you know? this month they grant thunderwing press a shout-out in vanity fair mgazine. the moral of the story: surround yourself with great people who you love and cherish and watch what the universe creates for everyone. its a win/win deal.
