Marvel x Tokidoki t-shirts

Okay, I'll admit that Marvel superheros aren't really my "thing" but the new Marvel x Tokidoki collaboration is undeniably eye-catching. JapanLA seems to have the shirts in good supply, but based on what I've seen around the web these are selling out pretty quickly. Women's t-shirts featuring Ironman, Spiderman, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk are available as well as Spiderman, Thor, Wolverine, and Human Torch t-shirts for men. Each shirt is priced at $28. New Era hats are also available for $35.

Rain gear on the cheap!

Rainy season is starting up again here in Socal and I've been on the lookout for some cute rain gear. The "Cat Above Your Head" umbrella pictured above is from ModCloth ($14.99) but currently out of stock (boo)! I've also really been digging these Marc By Marc Jacobs special items umbrellas which are priced quite nicely at $18 each.






Also digging these Marc By Marc rubber rain boots for $28 a pair.

Here are some of my other rainy weather picks:

• Loop Big Apple Umbrella @ Karmaloop $10.95 + 20% off with rep code "CUTEY"
  
• Pandamonium Umbrella @ ModCloth $14.99
• Rain Parade Mini Umbrellas @ Fred Flare $32
• White Hunter Boots @ Zappos $89.95
  
• Eryn Brinie Cropped Rain Jacket @ Bluefly $95
  

By the way, the winner of the CoverYourHair giveaway will be drawn early tomorrow, so I'll be sure to post up the winner as soon as possible. The giveaway will be open until 11:59 PST time tonight (3/7) but is now closed to readers in the USA. So all my international readers out there, you still have a chance to enter.

I'll also most likely have at least one other new giveaway posted up this week so be on the lookout for that. Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Music Monday: Sylvie Vartan 1960s French Pop

After some long, hard thinking I decided to start participating in Music Monday. I've sort of resisted doing themed days, but music is something near and dear to my heart. I'd like to believe that my taste in music is pretty varied (though I guess that's questionable). People also often come to me asking for recommendations so I figure, why not post up some favorites here? Lately I've been on a French Pop kick so today's feature will be Bulgarian born 1960s yé-yé girl Sylvie Vartan.
