On my desk: Free & Easy Vol.13 Issue No.138
March 8, 2010
Along with the usual spotlight on all things cool in vintage/heritage lifestyle, this month’s Free & Easy magazine examines the living spaces of some key individuals including New York investor, Stephen Globus. There were plenty of spaces covered, but most profiles were written completely in Japanese and I couldn’t really take enough from the text to tell you who they were. But the photos were great!
On my desk: Blissed Out cassette by Dum Dum Girls
March 7, 2010
As a precursor to their highly anticipated SubPop/Hozac release later on this month, Dum Dum Girls have recently released Blissed Out, a cassette tape compilation of all the songs that they have released to date. Considering that the only tape player that I own is in my car, this cassette will probably get the most attention amongst the stack of CDs swimming in my glove compartment. Out now via Art Fag Recordings…that is, unless it hasn’t sold out.
On my desk: Brixton Heist Beanie. In Grey
March 6, 2010
I always seem to gravitate towards old habits. Before the end of last year, I promised that I would retire the beanie in 2010. What was I thinking? That’s like George Burns without a cigar. I bought this cap a few days ago from the kind folks at 5&aDime. Can’t go wrong with these. Light, great fitting and perfect for the cold days here in San Diego.
On my parent’s doorstep: Porter Classic Palaka Hankercheif
March 1, 2010
After an exhausting weekend and being bedridden for almost 36-hours, I woke up this morning at my parent’s house to enjoy a cup of Earl Grey over a few bites of beef broccoli that my stomach prevented me from trying just 12 hours earlier.
Before heading back to my apartment to get ready for work, I found a gift waiting for me on my parent’s doorstep. Leo Yoshida, of Porter Classic had sent me this Palaka Hankercheif all the way from Tokyo, Japan. Such a kind gesture! Thank you, Leo.
On my desk… And around my desk
February 23, 2010
I took this photo a few weeks ago. It was on one of those moments where its like shit.. what the fuck. It’s so fucking quite right now. I’m expecting this year to be pretty damn difficult and hectic. In a good way though. So I guess I better enjoy the silence.

On my desk: Things I brought home from Inspiration (On my Floor)
February 15, 2010
Upon entrance to the Inspiration show, attendees were given a denim tote bag provided by BEAMS Japan. Notice the Inspiration script, which was done by Shawn Stussy. I also purchased a print and was lucky enough to catch Rin and have him sign it.
