Timbuk2 World Champion Messenger Bag

First to recommend

Description

You are the champion. Of the world. On your bike.

This mess bag falls in the "if you have to ask" category. Either you know the five stripes on white and your heart races a bit when encountering it and a little voice in your head screams "Allez! Allez!" or the whole thing is lost on you.

Either way, it makes a great weekend bag.

Gossip Girl tee - Team Blair

5 people recommended this item

Description

Team Blair? As if. Is Blair a felon? Does she send a proxy to take her SAT's? We all know she would. But she didn't. Which is why I'm all in with Team Serena.

You know I love you, Serena.

XOXO,
ThisNextGirl

Description

If a dad in your life is into cycing and supporting the arts and lovely handmade British things then (1) he's awesome and (2) he'll love this saddle: a limited edition Brooks saddle (swoon) for $250 where $100 is donated to the Bicycle Film Festival in NYC.

Description

This eggcup militia gets "A" for effort but I have a feeling they're no match for the bread soldiers on the march. Love this - especially because we are dedicated soft-boiled egg breakfasters. And because OUR soldiers are elite egg-killing Green Berets I'm not too worried these guys are going to get in our way. (via Notcot)

Better Bacon - Green Banana Tee

5 people recommended this item

Description

We're all "out of shape bananas" sometimes. Even if we're not like this T-shirt's awesome artist, who may have gotten to design this graphic because he's developmentally disabled like those for whom the Better Bacon nonprofit works to support, but who definitely has an above average funny bone!

Mini Bar - Flight 001

6 people recommended this item

Description

What better way to make friends than to whip out your own bar, wherever you are? This mini-bar has two folding cups, 2 flasks, a corkscrew, ice tongs, and a stirrer, all stainless steel, all in a leather case. It’s sleek AND functional--my two favorite things!

SIGG ICE BLUE TREND 1.0L(33 OZ)

5 people recommended this item

Description

The Blue Steel of thermoses, which is to say, sporting of a markedly hotter look than all others combined.

An excellent long-weekend companion... Would travel with it if the dumb airlines did not mistake we self hydrationists for terrorists. Settle for using it on car trips, bike trips and beach trips. Probably would keep a few martinis chillaxed. And inspire partakers to flash a few Blue Steels of their own.

alterdesigns agate and geod jewelry, neohippie

First to recommend

Description

I'm having a bit of a neohippie moment. Perhaps it's an only-quasi-successful Janis Joplin possession. Perhaps it's spring's first hint of barefoot in the air in Venice. But I can't get enough flower-child revivals paired with now items. To scratch the boho itch, I ordered a lovely, luxey gold-dipped geod necklace from Etsy's AlterDesigns... itself a neohippie moment: ordering handmade jewelry from a social shopping Web site. Meta, non?

Tapatio Salsa Picante Hot Sauce

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

XXL Tapatio... extra awesome. I've always wanted to steal a grande bottle of Tapatio from a taco truck. And, of course, I never ever would; not only do I not steal (bad juju) , but I couldn't live with the thought of having deprived others of its tangy goodness... and now that LA taco trucks are getting the heat, they need all the help they can get (La Oaxacatena, we're rooting for you to keep your Rose/Lincoln corner).

Which reminds: last time we were there, we heard a very confused (stoned) kid try to order a taco burrito. Taco burrito? Rich.
