CCSkye Golden Pot Leaf Earrings: smokers bling!

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Do you have a loving 420 addiction and some extra cash to blow? These 18-karat gold vermeil pot leaf earrings are sure to please, as well as announce to all who see them that you are a high roller with a love of the sticky icky. Featuring 7 golden leaves, plus a golden stem they will hang right at the jaw line. My only surprise is that I have not seen these heavily featured in any rap videos. Treat your smoking lady right, and give her some bling with which to represent.

Women’s Goldfish Longsleeve Shirt: wealth, abundance and cuteness

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Designed by Shanghai based artist Yan Zi, this brown long sleeved women’s tee is both subtle and charming. A perfect addition to your winter wardrobe, the bottom of each sleeve is adorned with a ring of open mouthed black and white goldfish, creating a sort of “fish bracelet” which looks way cuter than it sounds. Made of 100% modal, a super soft fabric derived from beech tree fibers, it is colorfast and resists pilling. The Chinese attribute wealth and abundance to all things goldfish, so one could hope this tee would help attract exactly that. Special thanks to Brian - if you use code bcd2007, you will receive 15% off all purchases till the end of the year. Super sweet!

Blissen Men’s Red Mushroom Tee: festive fungi

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

While I am no mycologist, the bold and festive coloring of this men’s mushroom tee suggests the type of fungus that everyone likes - magic mushrooms! The art was created by Jill Bliss and is touted as her tribute to the redwood forest floor. With a very limited print run of 50, it is unlikely you will see others in your area sporting the same t-shirt, which we see as a bonus. Printed on a 100% cotton wheat colored tee and available in sizes small through XL.
