Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, I Love Yazbukey, They're Really Awesome!

As I was perusing the newest issue of Teen Vogue, I was immediately struck by this strikingly bright and kitschy plastic jewelry that was used in one of the editorials. I ran (a.k.a. reached to the floor for my laptop) to the internet, eager to find out who this magical jewelry designer was, and I found the Yazbukey Website. As I was looking at their new collection a tear was brought to my eye. These accessories are everything I could ever want in the world! I wanted to fall to my knees and thank the fashion gods for putting the Yazbukey designers on Earth, but I refrained. I was too distressed from learning that their beautiful, beautiful work is nowhere to be found in the U.S. Why is life so unfair!! I will never know. For now, let's all bask in the glory of these images (thanks Yazbukey Myspace Page!)

Pop Does Cat Fancy

It's funny how these adorable kittens totally upstage Stephanie Seymour in the new issue of Pop, which is almost entirely devoted to her. Supercute!

All The Best Things Come From Iceland

Vik Prjonsdottir is an Icelandic knitting collective that uses all local materials to make some of the most innovative knit products I've seen in a while! I've always envied dudes who could grow long, fluffy beards, especially during the cold winter months, and their Beard Caps might just fulfill my desire! Although most of Vik Prjonsdottir's distributors are located in Iceland, a large percentage of their products are located at Scandinavian Grace which is on N.9th street in Williamsburg. Here are some of my favorite items:
