X'mas gifts - Toys

You know X'mas is just around the corner, when u receive brochures/promotional leaflets in your mail like those shown below...


Do kids still play with such toys? From what i know, my nieces and nephews are playing PC games, online games, Playstations, Nintendos, PSP. Either that, or they are glued to the tele the whole day. Lol.

Disclaimer: No toys were hurt, or destroyed in the writing of this post. The blogger has nothing against kids who play with such toys :p

If you happen to be in Tokyo, Japan...

Sweden's Nudie Jeans Co produce the best denim this side of Japan. So it is fitting that they have decided to open their second flagship store (and the first outside of Sweden) in Harajuku, Tokyo. Apparently the location was chosen because it embodies the same values as Nudie, namely "passion, anti-fashion and design".




P.S. The above is an excerpt from Denimology.

小情歌

苏打绿-小情歌
.
这是一首简单的小情歌
唱着人们心肠的曲折
我想我很快乐
当有你的温热
脚边的空气转了
唱着我们心头的白鸽
我想我很适合
当一个歌颂者
青春在风中飘着
你知道就算大雨让这座城市颠倒
我会给你怀抱
受不了看见你背影来到
写下我度秒如年难捱的离骚
就算整个世界被寂寞绑票
我也不会奔跑
逃不了最后谁也都苍老
写下我时间和琴声交错的城堡
最后谁也都苍老

The Hots for Shorts

Staying in a country, that is mostly in a hot and wet climate, it is sensible to wear shorts/berms (whichever u call it), when possible. I cant wear it to work though, unless i am working in some store that sells T-shirts, flip-flops, beach wear...you get the picture...LOL.

It seems that the trend now for men is to wear what Topman calls, 'smart shorts'. Here are some examples...

Black, grey or white are very 'safe' colours to start with.

Unless you are very confident you can carry it off, don't try bright colours like the red pair above! If you ask me, i very much prefer these shorts than...

............Cargo shorts, or some call it, combat shorts. They are so out..i know the pockets are very functional, but after stuffing it with your wallet, keys, ipod, small change? It just looks....wrong. American casual wear labels (i won't mention names here) are STILL churning it out season after season...



These are a few examples of chic-cool wear, with shorts. Found them on The Sartorialist. Splendid! Does european men have better fashion sense? Hmm....
