I'm Fussy About Bags
I'm a sucker for bags. I carry so much stuff with me, it's impossible without some sort of carriage. When i do buy bags, I usually go all out and drop lots of cold hard-earned cash for one that exudes quality, luxury, and utility.
Isaburo is a Japanese leather goods brand known for all three characteristics. I'm currently fawning over the Rucksack bag which works as a messenger bag, hand bag and backpack. The hard shell Rucksack is covered in soft leather meticulously hand-stitched on. Every nook and cranny on this bag screams high-quality. Its innards contain a bevy of compartments and pockets to hold everything from a laptop to iPod.
$699, anyone want to buy me one?

King of Games Sweet Parka
Hoodies are such a great thing. Truly an excess in comfort but I don't know anyone who doesn't own at least one. I have a collection of them I wear at home and out on errands.
The new Legend of Zelda theme'd hoodies from King of Games has raised hardcore lust (sounds perverse doesn't it) in me. The hoodies celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Zelda series by bearing its coat and arms. What's even cooler is a side pocket to hold your Nintendo DS.
I WANT ONE SO BAD! $81.00

My Straight Secret
That title is misleading huh? No, I'm not talking about my sexual orientation. I'm talking about flat irons.
Listen, that super slick straight hair you see all the celebs rockin' (ahem - I'm looking at the Beckhams) is not natural, it's flat ironed.
So because my home is brimming with hair products, some friends of mine have asked me a few times what to use to get their hair slick and straight (guys included). Up until now, I've just recommended some products by Redken and Matrix. Now I'm going to tell you the truth. The secret is a flat iron and the reason why I've avoided telling people is because it's an expensive one.
The Chi flat iron is pricey at almost $100 for the basic model. Like most modern irons it's the ceramic type, but it's the heat it generates that separates it from the $20 models you get at your local Walmart. This bit of wisdom was passed on to me by my hair stylist. Hair is quite strong. It can withstand extreme heat but not for very long. Chi flat irons get hot (although you wouldn't know it by touch), so one quick and steady motion is all that's needed to get your hair smooth. The cheaper flat irons run at lower temperatures forcing you to slowly drag the iron across your hair exposing it to heat for much longer periods. The end result is brittle hair that breaks.
Now this post may seem like "women only" but guys can use flat irons to achieve hair styles that defy gravity. Men, even if you have short hair, run the Chi flat iron across it. You get smooth strands that stand up. Put in your favorite hair texturizer and you'll have an amazing look.
So there you have it . . . from my knowledge, now yours.

Nintendo Legacy Classics
Attention Nintendo fanboys and sneaker enthusiasts. I present to you your next pair of sneakers from Run Athletics. It's called the Nintendo Legacy Classic, an official collab-effort with the company.
The sneakers have a monogram pattern of classic Nintendo characters with the company logo on the back heel. On the bottom and insoles, you'll find Mario and Yoshi in proud stance.
The sneakers are just a sneak peak into what Run Athletics has in store for 2007; hopefully more collaborations like this. No price set yet but you know, I WANT ONE BADLY!
