I got 3 kinds of colorful mushroom towels from Vivienne Westwood at Ikebukuro Seibu department store.
One of my favorite motifs, mushrooms are expressed very funny and colorful that I love them a lot. It was very difficult to choose the another colors of the patterns for me… I wish I could have the full range of the colors.

It’s December and the season for gloves is here! But ever since I changed my cell phone to an i phone recently, it’s really a hassle using last years gloves.
Then I bought very useful gloves that have removable fingertips for the thumb, pointer finger, and middle finger. Now I can use touch screens easily.
They are gloves from a brand called ”PUENTE”, and every single one is hand knitted by women in Bolivia.
These gloves knit from alpaca wool are not only useful, but very warm.

I went to my friend’s wedding the other day.
At the reception the brides mother designed an original tenugui that was given to all attendees.
I heard that it was ordered and made from a tenugui specialist store called ”KAMAWANU”.
It was an incredibly cute tenugui that was based off of the motif of a chrysanthemum that had the meaning of my friend’s pet cat and perpetual youth and longevity.

“mamegui” is a coined word from “tenugui” (like traditional cotton towel) and “mame” (bean, sometimes it means tiny in Japanese). These are small hanky sized tenugui.
I got cute ghost & black cat ones… when you ties hems of it, black cat’s ears appears! :)

I got a plastic key loop chain from Marc by Marc Jacobs.
The sparkling clear plastic stones of 3 colors such as black, gray and clear are mounted in the shape of the great logo, ‘Marc’ that is very cool.
I got a cute hair accessory from SUNAO KUWAHARA.
There is a skull face that is made of fake pearls and plastic sparkling
stones in a skull shaped clear plastic. It looks very simple, but it has dazzling beauty.
I got 2 colors, red and green of tissue cases from ‘mercibeaucoup’.
They just came out from ‘kumadeta series’(‘kuma’ means bear)of mercineaucoup.
The lovely jumping bear is printed on the squashy tissue cases.
I got a cotton tote Bag from Mark Gonzales who is well known as an American professional skateboarder, artist and also poet.
I found the tote bag at online shopping by chance.
It is for men, but I think that it might be an unisexed tote bag!
I really like the simple design.
