Winter Frocks

It's finally getting cold here in Los Angeles so it's time to break out the winter clothes. Sure our winter only lasts a month but it can be a well dressed month. I'm particularly keen on two pieces from Yoko Devereaux. The double breasted cardigan and double breasted military coat.

I love the low dip in the cardigan so you can really show off that shirt, tie, or scarf. Layer people layer! The silhouette also hides tummies should holiday eatin' get to you. It's fleece, it's soft, comfy, and machine washable.

The coat is a great way to add a bit of structure without looking too formal. There's a waisted belt line to visually slim you with matching cuffs and the relaxed details keep it casual.

The cardigan is $125 and the coat is $338.

Change Clothes Without Changing

This is one of the more AMAZING textile tech demos I've seen. The actual dress print is a series of colored circles a computer uses to calculate every single coordinate, movement, and shadow. Using that information new textures can be applied in mere seconds that look just as natural and real. This texture map technology is very similar to what they do in 3D cgi and the developers hope it'll take off in Hollywood.

And you guys thought rip-stop nylon was awesome. Pfft!

Keep Warm Bearded Cap

Isn't it amazing? And so dang simple too. What a great way to keep warm and add a bit of whimsical sense of humor. The bearded cap was made by Vik Prjonsdottir in Iceland. She seems to make all kinds of odd but necessary things like blankets shaped like seal pelts.

If you want one you can get it from Scandinavian Grace in Brooklyn for $135. The store accepts both email and phone orders.

Seen it at Kitsun Noir

Bright Ass Watches

Sometimes I don't feel like getting all gussied up but if I don't try and make a little effort, I feel bad. So I usually wear something quick like one of the bright ass watches from Fredflare. They're only $20 and they teach you Japanese if you care. Me, I just like the colors.
