I really appreciate these bar stools from Barcelona based design duo Harry & Camila. They have a unique design that actually looks comfortable and they have an excellent profile view. Perfect for any contemporary kitchen. 
Kanye recently announced that this stylish varsity jacket will be 1 of 3 pieces of his Pastelle label dropping in January '09. I hope to acquire this piece sometime in the future.
Check out these fresh looks from the Nike Sportswear crew. Some glorious pieces for spring/summer 09. NSW is really shaking things up with one of the biggest collabs in the industry, joining forces with with the legendary fleece producers from Japan, Loopwheeler. Quality.
Mr. Mehrotra over at http://eyeknow.wordpress.com/ is a scholar and a true gentleman. He has exquisite taste in fine literature and he provides this great review on Thomas Friedman's latest masterpiece, 'Hot, Flat and Crowded'. I'm about halfway through this book myself and it is a truly something that everyone interested in the economic and energy future of the world should read. A modern day bible. Friedman's perspective is insipiring and makes me realize that this is what youngsters should be reading in school to become global citizens.Thomas Friedman needs to be in US President-elects Obama’s private counsel, because this book is manifesto what America and the world needs to do to get out this crisis were now in. This crisis were in is by Friedmans account to be hot flat and crowded, that is global warming, the rise of the middle class all over the world and rapid population growth which is making our planet dangerously unstable. All these trends are interwoven and will determine the quality of life this century. For example, he argues the convergence of hot, flat and crowded is tightening energy supplies, intensifying extinction of plants and animals, deepening energy poverty, making petrodictators stronger and accelerating climate change. Basically YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. If you have read his previous book, The World Is Flat, then you will know this guy is on the cutting edge of what is happening in our world right now.
He believes were entering the Energy-Climate era, and what is happening right now is akin to the internet revolution of the mid-90’s. He gives examples of what has led to this point and solutions of what could possibly be done to get us out of this mess. As you can tell from this post it just totally engrossed me, and that is because when you read this book he discusses where we are right now in history what the future can be if the right decisions are made. A big booyah to Friedman for writing this."
There's only one way to fly for me and it includes indulging in Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounges. With all the travel that I do, I've gotten so fed up with the 'common concourse'. What a coincidence since I'm actually blogging from the one in Toronto right now. This picture is of the Toronto lounge and I'm actually sitting in the booths on the left, 3 table lamps down. 
Adidas recently announced the launching of a new line called SLVR. I'm really looking forward to seeing more about this line, as it has been described as a line between Adidas and Y-3 in terms of pricing and distribution, which will offer assorted apparel, accessories and footwear. It's great to see the sportswear companies offering simple, and aesthetically pleasing basics that can fit into your everyday wardrobe. 
A friend of mine over at Room 907 had a brilliant find with these new chukka style boat shoes from Sperry Topsider. I agree, this reinterpretation of the classic boat shoe style is tremendous, and as of now these are my own personal must have shoe for SS09. Glorious.
Parisien label, Surface 2 Air has got a lot of press with this leather bomber jacket, but deservedly so. Quite a fine piece, and this could very well be one of the nicest leather bomber's I've seen in a long time. It has all the right style in all the right places, and this is an item that can truly last a lifetime.
The amount of designer collaborations these days can be quite overwhelming, but this one really caught me 'eye'. These glorious shades are what happens when you mix Oliver Peoples with Kris Van Assche, artistic director for Dior Homme and designer extraordinaire. These have a unique coin-locking mechanism that allows you to change the lens color, hassle-free. Although these are probably way out of my price range, they will remain on my wish list.
This pop-up LV x Comme Des Garcons store in the Aoyama fashion district of Tokyo, is certainly worth a visit if you happen to be hanging out in Tokyo.
Some cool T's from the Harajuku opening of a Stussy chapter. Designs were used from Reas and Eric Elms, as well as Undefeated.
