Moose Me?

Ah! Gotta love those Scandinavian designs. No, I'm not going to talk about IKEA or Marimekko, but some other brands that are equally funky, colorful, playful and cute.

Recently I've been loving these two brands: "Urban Elk" and "Färg & Form". They have absolutely the most adorable goofy-looking Elk prints, something oh-so Scandinavian (quite exotic for a tropic like me).


Urban Elk (http://shop.urbanelk.dk/), a Danish brand, is more concentrated in their quest to warm up those freezing little toes and tummy in the winter.


Their sweaters and warm underwear are yummy enough to melt the coldest hart.


My personal collection includes this uber soft and warm red blanket with elk print all over it. Can't wait to snuggle inside of it with my iPad (no more books!) and a cup of Lady Grey tea.


The next pretty things are from the Swedish brand Färg & Form (http://www.fargform.com/start_e.php).

Their cute collection includes household and interior goods, such as mug cups, mittens, tray, coaster, paper napkins and rug mat.


They also provides purdy trinkets like magnets and moosey-looking reflector key chains (which was my souvenir from Stockholm).

I fell in love at the first sight with their slippers, and just had to have them. Not only that they are lovably cute, they are also very cozy and warm. Perfect for my weakling frozen toes!

Apart from their goofy moose, they also complete their characters with a hedgehog, a cat and a dog. What moose can you ask?

That Odd Molly


I've been lusting for some of "Odd Molly" stuffs recently.

Their creations are whimsically bohemian, with a twist of charming retro look. Very feminine yet playfully cute.

They emphasize the details in the beautifully designed hand-made embroidery applique and daring choice of color. Purple and lime green seem like two clashing colors, but in their cardigan they look pretty hot to me.

This Scandinavian brand is pretty elusive to find, even in the consumers' paradise like Tokyo.

You can check them out at: www.oddmolly.com. I love their summer 2010 collection motto: "up-to-me-ism".

After scouting and scourging the www, I've finally been able to quench my desire in this website: www.deepfling.com
Their collection is far from complete, but the prices are comparably cheaper than other places. I received my purchases today, and absolutely in lust with my georgeous buys! The lovely red cardigan is marvelously chic and retro, something to brighten my gloomy winter.
However, I know for sure that even perfection still have more room for a bit more perfection, so I whipped out my scissors and turned the cardigan into something more fitting for a big bobbed girl like me.


The cute off-white buttons are from Le Droguerie (www.ladroguerie.jp), a bit pricey but worth every cents!

As for my other purchase, this terry cloth hoodie will also get a bit of makeover.


I'll shorthen a bit of the hem length. This original lenght makes me look kind of frumpy and chubby.
I'll post the finish look later!
