Zig Zags… at iko iko

I love IKO IKO in Elysian Park… so much inspiring stuff… and since the owner (Kristin Dickson) was in Japan, her awesome dad acted as the stand-in shop keeper.  I heart Greg!

This store wasn’t open yet, but it looked so cute from the outside.  I wish the stores opened earlier here!
It’s near Cocongo in Harajuku, where we ate lunch later.

That tuna turns into this!  At Dai Sushi at the Tsukiji Market.  We waited our turn at 5am, and it was worth it!

We had so many pieces from the chef’s omakase, that I forgot what this fish was called.  But it was in my top 3!

Waste Not

I’m gonna order one of these wastebaskets from Chris Collicott - it ships flat and then snaps into shape.  So excited!

Lucious Lounging

These chairs are amazing – like those yarn popsicle stick things that kids make in arts and crafts, but these are serious!  From Moroso’s Tropicalia collection.

Geodesic Domes

I love anything geodesic dome-like.  Especially when it means I can rest my feet on a leather one!
