Stussy x The Canadian Sweater Company.
I'm a real sucker for all things Canadian, so I was thrilled to see the new Stussy Canada collection and hear of it being designed for Canadians by Canadians.  The collection consists of simple basics - graphic t's, fleece sweats and knit hats.  My favourite piece? The impressive hand-knit cowichan vest.  Naturally, Stussy Canada went above and beyond and branded accordingly with a canadian beaver:) Fitting eh?

Side bit - Founded in 1977 and located in British Colombia, the Canadian Sweater Company specializes in hand-knit pieces designed to keep you warm through harsh Canadian winters.

Hot off the press - they arrived in stores TODAY!  Get em at your local (canadian) stores while you can.

I am totally smitten with the rebrand for London's famous Claridge's hotel.  I especially love the beautiful stationary, charming wrapping paper and pop of colour - jade, white, black and gold.  Darling.

Check out the full rebrand here.

Maybe I should move to Argentina?

Love the perfectly exposed white brick, boho/hippie vibe, industrial feel... of this chic pad in Buenos Aires.  Gimme, gimme.
