headphones - what's the first word that comes to your mind? i'm going to go ahead and guess that the word you chose is probably not "sexy." i've been thinking about headphones more lately since my wire-loving kitties have now gnawed through several pairs of the things, and while some styles can be cool, they're often lacking a feminine touch (nor do they fit a feminine head). the brand frends, however, have created some seriously chic, classy, and downright good-looking headphones that any girl would be proud to wear. i love the white/metal combo which goes with anything, and the clean lines and delicate shape make them modern and fuss-free. now the real question is, do cats like the way the cords taste? see more from frends here.
now that we're getting into summer i'm constantly craving bright pops of color (even more so than usual) and i love these screen printed leather clutches by toronto-based falconwright. the company, comprised of sandi falconer and danielle wright, sticks to a formula of simple silhouette, interesting color combination, and handdrawn pattern with a result that is a truly lovely accessory. see more from them here.
it's always refreshing when a beautiful product has a beautiful origin, and that's definitely the case with these handmade desert boots from namibia-based schier schoes. each day 8 damara men assemble each shoe by hand, creating about 20 pairs a day. the leathers come from wild kudu and hyena, so they can often have imperfections such as scars that lend them a unique character. i love the neon touches on the toes, and they even have small versions for littles - too cute! learn more about schier shoes here.
