And since we didn't want you to erase us from your memory or your Google reader, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind seemed like the perfect choice for our return. Enjoy!

Jack Spade currently has a great sale going on and their Industrial Canvas bags are among the standouts.

Dipped Industrial Canvas is a 22 oz. tarp cloth canvas constructed with 3-ply cotton yarns and dipped in rubber latex for unmatched durability. All styles are unlined and feature custom Jack Spade rivets. Industrial canvas softens and fades over time and due to the porous nature of cotton canvas, will show signs of use, which adds to the overall character of the material.

Capsule: 18 Waits

 18 Waits

As I walked through Capsule a few weeks ago, I felt like a fish out of water during the first half of the show. Most of the brands were more interested in buyers than bloggers (for obvious reasons) but one of the few retailers that welcomed me with open arms was 18 Waits. Better yet, they even recognized me from twitter and my blog. Long story short, I had a great time talking about style and the company with the guys from 18 Waits, and even grabbed a quick lunch with William (who runs their Twitter account) on the rooftop of the capsule building. Live Free. Travel Well. Enjoy Life. That is definitely the 18 Waits way.
