Alright, this is quite expensive for a scarf but I gotta say, it looks seriously awesome. They’re made in 100% silk and come in seven different style prints, with this lush foresty scene being my favorite.

I won’t mess around with talk of deck size or trucks because, although important, it’s really the graphics that stand out on this skateboard. And, hey, no tears if you’re not a skateboarder, you can always wear the T-shirt.

Hello is a collaboration between California based skateboarder Buddy Carr and New York based graphic designer Antonio Carusone.

T-shirt (Color: Black, White): $22.00

This might lean towards the slightly-inappropriate-for-work category (much like those wacky ties that are so bad they’re good, or sometimes just so bad they’re horrible), but these socks are just too good not to share. Even if you just wear them around the house, they’re funny enough to be forgivable. Also, check out the Kick the Habit Socks (not shown).

Oh my goodness, just the words ‘hold finger under your nose and enjoy’ is enough to explain why these gloves are terrific.

It’s not even cold where I live and I’m already sort of obsessed with gloves and arm warmers. Sorry.

you don’t have to feel bad about splurging a bit because they act not only as daily-wear short gloves, but also have a button-on elbow length extension for super cold nights (and extra va-va-voom). Made from 100% Cashmere. Available in black or heather grey. One size.

With all the USB-powered accessories out there, this was bound to happen sooner or later.

The USB Air Conditioned Shirt is a fantastic invention for hot days! USB- fans blow fresh air into the shirt, powered solely by your powered USB drive. Great for any hot office or room, or even for portable action with a laptop or other device. There’s simply nothing else out there like it!

These are just ridiculous but they make me happy.

Range of T-shirts for different occasions. Each one can be used as an ‘Emergency T-shirt’ when nothing else is clean or seems to suit an occasion. Simply turn them inside out and wear.

This pleece scarf (pleated fleece) scarf is perfect because it takes the warmth of fleece, not traditionally a great design material, and makes it more structured with the use of pleats.

“The items in the soft, warm Pleece Collection, designed by Marianne Abelsson, are made for use indoors and out. The collection includes hats, scarves, ponchos, and hoods, as well as pillows and throws in a lovely, pleated fleece fabric.”

I don’t know if you’ve ever been to a country where you feared your passport was in danger of sticky hands, but I sure have and I really really wished this was around then…(I think I got one of those thigh strap holders and it sucked, to put it bluntly. It was completely uncomfortable, which I should have expected, but I didn’t know any better. I ended up sticking my passport in my camera bag, which increased my fears about getting mugged on the streets about ten thousand times. A sock would have been much better.)

This cheeky shirt has been designed so that it folds perfectly every time, just like the first day you wear it.

I bought one of these when I was at ICFF from the design boom young designers display. It’s is a very thick 100% wool felt (4mm) which has been laser cut in the shape of a fox.

I’m kinda late to the game on these, but I really like them. They’re designed to be ultra-light (4.8 ounces) and therefore don’t have any of the ridiculous accoutrement that most running shoes have. Instead, all the design features, like the ubiquitous “swoosh” are silk-screened on. Also, they’re only intended to last about 65 running miles (hence the name). 5000 will be made and they’re only available in men’s sizes.

Thanks Diana for the link.

These sturdy foam-core flip-flops are built into a sheet of foam printed with Chinese newspaper ads.

The frame has a portion that pops out for hanging on a wall for storage when not in use. Clever!
