Argyle T-shirts & Floral Lions. Aaron Feiger emailled to tell me about the label he and his girlfriend Ashley Marcinczyk run called Pop Junkie. I often get emails from people looking for a quick bit of free exposure, and, quite frankly, most of the time the stuff they want me to pimp is garbage. So it makes a nice change to get an email from Pop Junkie, as their stuff is great. I particularly like the argyle style Floral Lion t-shirts.

A lesson in how to earn brownie points! My girlfriend has started a blog about fashion. If her ability to highlight cool fashion items is anything like her ability to spend money on those items, then it’s bound to be a success. To give her a headstart, I thought I’d let my readers know about her blog. If you’re into fashion, and want to be kept up to date with the latest labels and styles, go and check out Random Fashion Coolness (the name sounds familiar, don’t you think?)

Weddings are boring. The while spectacle of weddings bored me to death. Unfortunately. At some point I’m going to be drawn into one of these organised regimented events, but if I had my way it would be done spur of the moment with an Emergency Wedding Dress by Aleksandra Paszkowska (Rachel, if you’re reading, you should buy one!)

Designer underware. I failed to convince people last summer that the cool illustrated espadrilles available from The String Republic were hip. Now The String Republic are back, but this time with underware. So hopefully it’ll be easier to convince people to wear these great designs this time around.

My girlfriend is going to kill me for this! I’ve been running Things of Random Coolness for a few months, and while I haven’t been writing it in any kind of secretive manner, I didn’t go out of my way to tell anyone around me (I didn’t think anyone would be that interested). Consequently, my girlfriend didn’t know I was doing it, and when she found out a few days ago, she went wild. In seems that, although it’s not in the same league as cheating on your partner, not informing them that you write a blog is akin to keeping somekind of secret life.

Anyway, in an attempt to get back into the good books with my girlfriend, and to provide some content that appeals to the female readership (which seems to be quite sizable), I’m highlighting Funnel Neck Jacket by Stella McCartney. My girlfriend highlighted it to me, so now she can feel part of my “secret life” too!

Young lovers never die. Luke from Young Lovers let me know that they’ve just launched their latest range of t-shirts for 2007. In their words…

The latest collection of t-shirts from indie street label Young Lovers can be likened to ripping your eyes out of your head and eating them. In other words… it’s a bold move and shockingly graphic, but also strangely tasty.

All t-shirts are printed in strictly limited editions of 100, and can be delivered anywhere in the world for a flat rate of $9. So get your orders in before they run out. You’ve got to love the tv static fuzz background to their website too - very hot!

Check out the 2007 range at Young Lovers.

Bandages for the Heart. Alyssa Dee Krauss has made some great silver and gold brooches in the style of band-aid plasters called Bandages for the Heart.

The Bandage for the Heart brooch may be worn to communicate the state of healing we can all go through from divorce, break-up, or illness. It can be worn to show support for victims, casualties and survivors of tragedy or as a “medal of honor” for those who have made it through hard times.

I’ve never had the courage to draw all over my shoes… that’s why I’m jealous of Richard Arifin’s customised converse. And, if you think his shoes are hot, check out his illustrations at Made For You Everyday (if you really like the work, check his blog too!)

Opportunities to abuse your credit card. If you’re anything like me, and you’re a bit of a whore for designer magazines, books, prints, etc. You should check out Fusshop. There’s loads of interesting product to abuse your credit card with.

Nikes as worn by Prince Charles. Maybe I’m getting old, but I really want some of these Tweed Nikes. All I need then is a nice cardigan, pipe and easy chair, and I can rock the cool grampa look.

It’s guaranteed, I’ll never be able to find these in the real world. Maybe somebody will send me some from Christmas (UK size 8.5 or 9 - just in case Santa Claus is a reader of Things of Random Coolness).
