Do: Saito Excito party

Thursday night there's a Saito Excito party at Betabrand, where I used to design silly things like Japants. In fact - that's how I met Tomo! He's an amazing designer, visual artist and musician, throws the best parties at his fab studio in the city and innovates with things like the Tofu Project. Our first project together was creating the first ever pant mashup -- it sold out in just a few days. I found this super sweet Japanese herringbone twill and the rest is history.

Inspiration: my neighborhood

It is easy to forget where you are when you are going about the day-to-day. I sometimes forget how amazing my neighborhood is and how much inspiration I get from it everyday. Here's peak at things I see all the time from my point of view.

When was the last time you took a look around where you live? The things you pass by daily?
