Sassafras

Let's take a look at this Japanese label, Sassafras. What's not to love about this brand? Originally made with an inspiration of Gardening concept, Sassafras is now widely known as a brand that offers high quality products that comes with extra details that not only just as an eye pleaser, but actually has a true function. I mean details like additional tool & side pockets, loops for hammer, straps, and back satin insides is a brilliant details that not so many brand would have think about. Plus, all Sassafras products comes in a highly durable japanese materials and made using techniques that provides the strongest stitches. No doubt, Sassafras makes some of the most interesting and well made garments on the market right now.

Sassafras is now available in stores like Doo Bop & Inventory Stockroom.

La Muna Residence by Oppenheim Architecture & Design

Stumbled upon this very warm lookin' place in Aspen, La Muna. Using Japanese design philosophy, wabi sabi (the nature of impermanence and imperfection), Oppenheim Architecture & Design did a beautiful renovation on one of Aspen's original rustic ski chalets. Good job on using wood, stone and steel. Don't you think it looks very warm despite the 'look-so-friggin-cold-on-the-outside' surroundings?

Mew, where are you guys?

Still one of my greatest band on earth. But anyone of you realize? it's been years since Mew's latest album, "No More Stories / Are Told Today / I'm Sorry / They Washed Away // No More Stories / The World Is Grey / I'm Tired / Let's Wash Away". Yes it's in the year of 2009. For real guys, what are you doing? I think all of the fans are just like me, still patiently waiting for the new album. Earlier this year, the band confirmed that they are preparing a new album via their twitter. But apparently Jonas is doing a side-project with Pharrell Williams & Guy Berryman, called [apara:tjik]. Come on Jonas, stop joking around and get serious on the new album, and come here once again to Jakarta, just like you guys did back in 2009. (Seriously, i still remember that night like it was yesterday, one of the best concert i've been to even though it was a part of a music festival, even my girlfriend enjoyed it very much. I think Mew's the only band she do like).

To remind us all of how great this band is, here are several videos of Mew.

Alekesam

First time I heard Alekesam was around a year ago when one of their nicest track, "It's Not You, It's Here" was featured as a background music on the season 8 of HBO's Entourage when Ari Gold was having a dinner with a girl. Instantly hooked ever since. After a while, some of their songs are still pretty good to listen to. Check 'em out below.

BePositive F/W 2012 Collection

I always love the simplicity shoe sneakers from BePositive. They always find a good way to combine the beauty of an Italian elegant dress shoe and twist them with comfy sneaker soles. They are still doing the same thing for this Fall/Winter 2012 Collection, and i must say that this genre-crossing thing works in a real nice way. Awesome.
