roll your own

I love it when the Brits use the word 'bespoke' not sure why, it just sounds cool. so now we have the latest attempt at letting the masses design their own clothes. go check out Styleshake, choose a fabric, design a dress and it shows up in 10 days. Handmade, bespoke fashion from London... ah, it's too good to be true, no delivery yet outside the UK!

apparently, they've got more than 1,000 designs created already (once you do a design, others can buy it). Looks fairly pricey, $330 in the example I saw.

I must say, I find the grey mannequins a bit creepy!

no word on when kid clothes will be on the menu but we'll keep an eye out. of course, we'd really like to have access to some oilily fabrics. of course, we'd have to come up with a London address where they could send that fabulous girls holiday dress

Okkies for Boys


Give him some rugged and hip stlyes this season with Okkies. A line created for boys, comfortable, washable and yet stylish. Tie waist so there's no tugging and pulling to get them down, room for play. The Okkies Charcoal Camo Pant should not be overlooked. The Okkies Thermal O Tee's are great basics that can be worn with just about any of the pants. Take a look, once you give Okkies a try you'll be hooked!
