Let it swim
March 3rd is traditional in Japan to celebrate Hina-matsuri, or Girls’ Day — a day for wishing all little girls health, growth and happiness :) I saw an article on Etsy’s Handmade Blog about Hina-matsuri and thought it was great! Check out the whole article here!

Wishing you all a Happy Halloween!!! Maia is a cute witch this year — kept a classic Halloween costume since last year. (Yes, it is the same black vest I crocheted, I added some lace skirt!)
Be safe and have fun! See you on Monday…
I stopped by Threadless “New Art. New Ideas.” tee-shirt launch party at the New Museum last Friday — it was fun :) This is the chosen design by artist Daniel Abensour. 8-color screen print! (+plastisol ink and a chino additive for softness.)
I also got a goodie bag, too, thank you, Threadless!
After I got home, I looked around their website for inspirations… (I used to check their website for some cool tee-shirts design like all the time! I hadn’t done that for a long time…) and look what I found…
Happily Ever After Is So Once Upon A Time tee! Oh, how I love this so much :) So cute, I would wear it if the girl’s size small wasn’t all sold out…
They now offer type tees. (sorry, if this has been around for a long time, I just found out!) and of course, they are accepting submissions, if you have a good slogan, submit away! Your tee might be printed :)
Last night in NYC, it was Fashion’s Night Out. The whole city was celebrating a world of fashion! Oh, how I wish they do this every month… All the shops were open til 11pm-12am, with free drinks, lots of goodies, appetizers, and store full of fashion items to shop, of course! (and a girlfriend to shop with, too, that completes the night!) I had so much fun!
I saw lots of cool designs… both fashion and graphic… I wish I documented all… but here are a couple things…
This flyer from Topshop caught my eye — very simple and clean; white, silver and black and just types. Silver letters are foil stamped so it adds more quality and texture, looks great on white and black types.
I love how it’s played around with different fonts and font weight.
and balloon type! At Opening Ceremony.
Happy Friday, everyone! :)
