Keith Haring x COLORS iPhone case
May 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment
To be honest, in the beginning I wasn’t a big fan of Keith Haring, but the more art pieces of his that I saw, the more I can appreciate the simple beauty of it. And here is his new project, a collab with Japanese iPhone case maker COLORS.
COLORS x Keith Haring
Keith Haring x COLORS: Bamboo case for Apple iPhone 4 & 4S. The case will set you back around $114.00USD. It’s a pricey iPhone case to look fresh.
The product is only sold in Japan and it’s already sold out. You might want to look around eBay or Craigslist.
If you can read Japanese, then head to the COLORS website for more cool stuff: COLORS Tokyo.

Mr. B’s for ALDO
New York designer, Christian Cota, joined ALDO to present a premium men’s footwear line that featured chunky brogues in both shoe and boot options. The colors are bold and the footwear exudes a classic and modern effort in its styling and function.
Blake boot in Navy/Grey and Cognac
I recently tracked down (yes, tracked down!) a pair of the Blake boots in Navy/Grey (pictured above). The sizes run a bit big, but to my advantage, there was only one pair left (at the time) for order across the country.
These now take their place as one of my most cherished of fashion finds. The leather is sturdy. The styling is impeccable, for both casual and dress wear. And the color?? Wow!!

The Glass House

This 3-story glass house looks really cool in Tokyo. But I think it won’t be fun living in this place with no privacy. Peeping-toms and nosy neighbors will have a field day with this.

Nintendo 3DS & Louvre

My own guided tour!
The Nintendo 3DS and the famous Paris museum, the Louvre, teamed up on a really cool project. Now you have can have your own guided audio/visual tour of the Louvre on the 3DS. If you haven’t been to Paris I suggest if you had time to check this magical city out. I spent around 2 weeks in Paris and let me tell you, it was not enough time (also a really good INXS song). I also spent like 3 days in the Louvre which is truly not much time. The Louvre is so big and has so much art and history. It can be overwhelming.

Uniqlo will be coming to Union Square in Fall 2012.
You read that right! Uniqlo in San Francisco!
It will be taking over the 29,000 square feet space of 111 Powell Street that currently houses footwear-megalith DSW. Talk about prime location! They are steps away from Union Square and the SF shopping center! Not only that, H&M is right across the street and GAP and Forever 21 are right down the block. The San Francisco flagship will be the center of all West Coast operations for the brand and is the fourth total store (the other three are in Manhattan) stateside. They said that they were coming soon and that it was just a matter of finding good retail space. They weren’t kidding!
