Limited Edition Rainbow Sneakers

limited edition New Balance sneakers - in rainbow - for $99 - nothing else needs to be said :)

Christmas Hair

Paper Goods

This dress is made of all recycled materials (mostly grocery store garbage). I found an article about the dress from here: http://www.ecofriend.org. The dress was designed by Denise Van Outen and Gary Harvey a few years ago, but still looks cool. Gotta love those colors!

Geek Chic

Geekery is becoming very mainstream and has no doubt started hacking its way into the fashion world. These examples are just the tip of the iceberg- hopefully!

Fluffies by TheSkyWasPink

I love the fluffies from TheSkyWasPink (link here), an Etsy seller based out of Denver CO. I got a pair of the aqua glittery ones in October - they're very soft and warm! I'm thinking of getting a rainbow pair (as seen above). If anything, they're fun costume pieces that can fit people of a variety of sizes (there's elastic at the top to keep them from falling down). They also come in a ton of colors - check them out!

Paper Chase Mag Rack by Nathan Young

I was looking at display design on Google and found this. The Paper Chase magazine rack by Nathan Yong uses such basic technology, it's weird we don't see it in more places. It allows for an organized chaos of fashion mags (or maybe even plates of food?). Anyway it looks really cool and would be a fun piece at a party or showroom.

Sushi Slippers by sushibooties

Sushibooties (Etsy link here), based in Portland, Oregon, specializes in Japanese-inspired crafts such as these slippers. Available in a variety of colors representing different types of fish, you can choose from:

- Sake/Salmon (Orange)
- Toro/Fatty Tuna (Red-Orange)
- Maguro/Tuna (red)
- Spicy Maguro/Spicy Tuna (Pink)
- Tamago/Egg Omelet (Yellow-Orange)
- Hirame/Flounder (Pale Pink)
- Hamachi/Yellow Tail (Pink Stripe)
- Ebi/Shrimp (Shrimp guy) - has eyes!

They're adorable, soft and don't smell like fish! (I think...)
