Crusher by Simple Sneakers

In April of last year my first pair of Simple Sneakers arrived and I am happy to report that they are still going strong. I wrote then,

"The latest addition to my growing collection of sneakers are called "Crusher" from Simple shoes in California. They aren't available here in Taiwan but you can order them online from a number of retailers including REI where I ordered my pair from. They have suede and shiny leather combination upper "extra comfy" pig leather lining, I got mine in chocolate but they come in black and cognac as well."

Though a bit too light on the sole padding for my taste these certainly have been the best investment in sneakers I have made in quite some time. They seem to be selling out the crusher models for a different line - they are on sale now on their site for $46.90. A great deal I think.

Multi Color Block Scarf

As the temperature dips down today to a seasonal low of 8˚C it's hard to think about t-shirts. Instead products like this one by the Goorin Brothers are my wear of desire, unfortunately by the time the scarf arrives by post it will be up to 25 again. Such is the weather here in the tropics. The Goorin Brothers are perhaps known for their hats. The company was born one hundred years ago when Cassel Goorin sold his first hat off a horse cart in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Four generations later, the Goorin family is the oldest family run hat company in America. Goorin Brothers has a large boutique line selling to some of the most edgy, fashion forward stores in Japan and in Europe. This scarf can be bought for about $30US.
