the mint's tint: 2010

The artist "Zillion" has started making these vintage-one-of-a-kind-kimono-fabric-covered-skate-decks. At 850$ I don't think you'd want to take these for a spin, but who cares... mount these works of art on your walls? See them all on Cool Hunting.

We lust: Crystal bullet necklaces

We're lusting over these crystal-incrusted-into-a-bullet necklaces. Each one is one of a kind made by Unearthen, and can be purchased for a steep 320-340$ on BonaDrag.

We shop: VERAMEAT

VERAMEAT is a New York based jewelry company. They specialize in necklaces, rings, and bracelets in both silver and gold. We're big fans of their 2-3 finger rings (nope! still not sick of that fad)

We love: Eric Pfeiffer's Wood Whales

Pfeiffer makes these wooden desktop whales to hold your belongings at his workshop in Michigan. Each one is handcrafted, signed and numbered. He currently uses white pine, but a coveted, beautiful batch of 20 were made out of redwood, while it was available.

At 50$US, these are quite a ridiculous investment, the ultimate kitsch... but we're still entertained.

We wear: Milk From a Thistle

Milk From a Thistle is a Sydney based company run by Danielle Atkinson. Our favourites from her collection are the maxi dresses; boldly printed, summery and whimsical. Unfortunately, unlike Australia, it's not always summer here, so we're anxiously waiting for our summer to incorporate these into our daily life.

And how about the amazing clogs in all of the lookbook photos?

We wear: Louise Dungate

We are getting toasty for Louise Dungate's luxury knitwear. She handknits each piece herself with ecological wool (usually merinos & silks). The result: giant, oversized, thick scarves & mittens & hats to keep us warm throughout this winter. Shop her website or her etsy shop.
