BAGGU

I know Baggu is totally old news by now, but in case it's not I'd like to preach the Baggu gospel. I've been pretty frustrated lately with all the "green"shopping bags with their cheesy slogans. They've made going green such an obvious trend. Now virtually everyone is selling the alternative eco friendly shopping bag. You can find them pretty much everywhere now, which is totally a good thing. I'm just a little fed up with the design of most of these bags. All I want is a simple bag, no print, but looks great. BAGGU! Baggu comes in many different sizes, patterns and colors. My boyfriend who's been baggu-ing for quite some time has been urging me to switch to Baggu over the terrible bags I'd been using.

The problem for me is that I usually keep my green bags in the car and have to rely on remembering to bring them in when I shop somewhere. I don't. I always forget! I feel so terrible and most of the time I say "no bag please" at checkout and then have to leave the store with things falling out of my arms. Getting to the important part, Baggu compacts into a little bag making it super easy to fit in your purse or pocket. Anywho, enough of my preaching. Below is a pretty Baggu commercial of sorts. Enjoy.

Nakagin Capsule Tower

For those of you who watched Tokyo! you may have noticed this building in the first film Interior Design. This is the Nakagin Capsule Tower. Completed in 1972, this building hosts both residential and office use. Each cube measures only 2.3m x 3.8m x 2.1m. Unfortunately this building has not been kept up and has a lot of asbestos issues. I've heard on many blogs that it will be torn down any day now. So sad, it's such a beauty!

Thanks Picture!

TOKYO! out now

TOKYO! is out today on DVD. Rent it, buy it, Netflix it. I'm going out to get my copy now!!

Woah, hey!

Wow. It's been a long time! Have you noticed? A lot has been happening recently and I haven't had much time to update, put up new merch, be a good business owner etc. My sister just got married and I've been gathering my things for my upcoming move to Chicago. But hey, I died my hair red/brown and I'm ready to go! I'm not moving until August but there's a million x 100 things to do before then!

Anyhow, I leave you with a lovely little video for God Help the Girl. A new and slightly confusing album by Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian including B&S members plus other random amazing people. The album is out now in Europe but comes out tomorrow (tues) in the US and Canada!

MUSIC WE LOVE: LANDy

It's finally here! The debut video from LANDy! In case you didn't know, LANDy's frontman is actor Adam Goldberg (from one of my favorite recent films, 2 Days in Paris, and one of my favorite new shows The Unusuals) along with members from The Flaming Lips and Earlimart. I'm so excited to see Adam and the band get out and tour. LANDy's debut record hits stores on June 23. Listen to more music here.

MUSIC WE LOVE: Hungry, Hungry Ghost

Complimentary Maps


I can't keep Hungry, Hungry Ghosts LP Sleeping English off my current playlist. This is definitely one of my new favorite bands and definitely a new band for each of you to look in to! I feel like each song on this LP is just as catchy as the one before. They have a raw approach to their indie sound that you don't hear too often. Their video for Complimentary Maps (as shown above) is so adorable with its too cute choreographed dancing. Listen to some more of Hungry, Hungry Ghosts music here.
