Boojie Bag a la SKINGRAFT

I'm loving this "Weekender" bag I got on sale from the Skingraft store in DTLA - Now I just to have plan a destination so I can properly use it! Any suggestions?

Shady Saturday - Carrera Shades

I recently ordered these awesome Carrera shades on line. I believe this line is a subsidiary of the Porsche design group, directly related to the Porsche sports cars. I'm not sure if these are dead stock, but if they're not, there amazing re-issues.

These two frames (above and below) have UV Clear lenses, which offer full protection even though they are clear. I'm feeling this 1980's Pseudo Futurism vibe. I have to admit the purple frames (above) are my favorite because I can't help but think of Prince..."Purple Rain, Purple Rain...."

This pair have more traditional black out lenses, but the oversized frames are perfect for the "morning after" walk of shame. Were they any more oversized, they'd be pushing up on Mugler's vintage "bug" shades.

GOT TO HAVE IT!!!! KINBAKU

The latest must have fashion item coming out of Japan is "KINBAKU". They're small figurines tied with silk cords the traditional Japanese "Rope Bondage / Kinbaku Shibari" method and used as either necklaces, bracelets or cell phone accessories!

The creator's name is Istuji Hirostugu and is himself a practioner of the art of "Kinbaku Shibari". He hand ties each figurine so production is limited, thus raising the "hot factor" even more!

Some links to the "KINBAKU" site and to a related Yahoo Japan site are as follows:
