Always a sucker. I need my Moleskine journal with me at all times. And I fall for their limited editions. Yes, I have the "Star Wars" ones. Yes, I have the "Peanuts" day planner. Yes, I just pre-ordered the "Lego" journal. This reminds me of long hours sitting on the carpet with seemingly one million pieces of plastic spread out around me in a mess/wonderland.

Comme de Garcons has some wonderfully playful pieces that have just arrived and I could imagine wearing this now or then whilst building blocky houses. That is not a knock to the clothes; these are not silly pieces - they are well-design pieces that don't take themselves seriously enough not to know how to have fun. That is ideal, since I think a lot of us might look to that concept as a daily mantra anyways. Finish the look off with Docs, which were the next phase of life in the '90s, post-"Lego".

BTW, even if you still like your full on play time, shop here for fun.

Until next time,
The Gatherer
