typography
Jack Usine aka SMeltery updated collection of gorgeous fonts, some of which are freebies such as TWenty One, REdevance and Enfer. Indulge!
The girls at Three Tarts located in NYC, stock goodies (prepared daily) that are of consumate refinement or simply fun and goofy. Luv the Rooftop S’mores that come ready with sticks and matches for rooftop roasting (camping)?!?! How about that?
On the nice minimalist grid website of Kate Spade although I think the index is a bit too crammed there is this Things We Love section which is an image based linkorama to discover odd knick-knacks as well as more serious stuff.
Her sense of street-smart style (check the Spring collection montage) is always mixed with her heart-smart social activism, mainly focussed on women living in dire situations.
Another fine example on how your success can be used as an influence platform to do good around you.

fashion
While travelling to Barcelona, a friend took me to the Desigual store in the gothic part of the city and was I in for a surprise. Not only the space was trendy and well stocked, the vibe was definitely ‘designy’.. as their brand states. Found rad tshirts that are artworks and received a nifty messenger bag as a token of appreciation.
Have a look at this year collection, the men and women are both urban, chic and confortable. They are now spreading over Europe. Can’t wait they make their way in Montreal.

toys
Oh the lovelies! The MYBU series is a platform toy (a toy with a base figure that is exchangable with other styles) BUBU Co Ltd has recently launched with a number of different characters and variations coming soon.
Harajuku (hara-joo-koo) Lovers is an irrisistible brand, aptly termed “a fatal attraction to cuteness” that was first captured by Shoichi Aoki which lead to publishing two wildly popular books and a cult-like magazine based on Tokyo Street Style.
Highly recommend you acquire these. They can prove fool-proof assets if you hit the blank state. A couple of pages will suffice to kick you right back into gear — thinking to yourself — what? no such thing stopping me from being creative and using my imagination; if they came up with this crazy over the top original fashion style they wear in public, there’s nothing I can’t do.

A couple of years ago, purchased a cool (mini) messenger bag with this message printed in big typo on the flap cover:
“Our Love is the Real Thing”
What a powerful statement in opposition perhaps, to “Our War is the Real Thing” hinted by the green camouflage printed pattern.. Wanted to shout it to the world.. and did.. by carrying it around. Little did I know that I had fallen for the girrrl empowering brand Gwen Stefani had created.
The new video campaign for Harajuku Lovers Fragance which had to seize Gwen’s vision of “cuteness” was commissioned to FWY (Friends With You) Studio who dwell into happy design too..
Now “G” sits pretty at a place of honor amongst other toyz on the studio mantle, stating silently:
Powagirrrls rule (with more than pink design)!!!
