Today in the office I found a little brochure within a stash of paper in our meeting area.

I mean… how can I resist when I read “Chase your dreams”?!? Inside I’ve found the freshest street wear t-shirts EVER! The typographic designs are amazing – someone definitely knew what he was doing – very colorful, very bold, outstanding!

Of course I checked out their website where I’ve found more shirts in all kinds of colors and designs, some with a bit provocative prints and unfortunately more clothing for the boys than for the ladies but yet I’ve found 2 shirts that I really really like and couldn’t decide which one I liked better.

Before I ask you for shopping advice let me tell you about the brand. PIMPALICIOUS LIVING is based in Amsterdam and consist of 2 main members – Glamma and Ceizer – who meet a select group of people to express their ideas. Their products mean to reflect their life visions.

Let me copy their philosophy as I cannot think of better words that describe what they’re all about. It’s a beautiful text:

Pimpalicious Living is chasing your dreams and living your fantasies. Pimpalicious Living is doing what you do, and staying true to yourself. Stay fresh, dress to impress and never settle for less than success. We make it kool for you being you. Be yourself and never miss a piece of sunshine. Pimpalicious Living shouldn’t be misunderstood, we’re all about living good. We breathe positivity till infinity. Appreciate the moment of now, enjoy your life. Most people think about the future and talk about the past. They forget to live the moment and enjoy every second of it. Set your goals and chase your dreams, enjoy every moment while living your life according to your own rules. Pimpin’ to us is living it up, doing the best with your life. What is the best you can do with your life? Think about that and do it big, even when you do it small do it big. You don’t have to be a millionaire to live the millionaire dream.

The shirts are all child labor free, 100% fair-trade and fine combed cotton. I must admit I’m deeply impressed. They have stores all over Holland and even in Hong-Kong, Istanbul, Paris, Luxembourg and Switzerland. But of course you can order directly from their online-shop.

Isn’t that fabulous? This brand makes me feel good already. Their thoughts and dreams speak directly from my heart. This discovery made my day!

Ok so now please help me choose. Those two here are my favorites BUT (damnit) sold out.

So I’ve chosen those two here that I like, too. Which one should I get? I’d love to hear your opinion.

For me love is always a connected a littlebit to drama, bites and scratches. It’s just the passion that comes out in me. The Fetty of Brooklyn sells the appropriate jewelry. The necklaces or earrings have subtle names like “shot thru the heart”, “heart beat” or “butchers wife” and it’s always a two piece item. Look for yourself and chuckle.

Designer Alessandro Esteri’s soft moleskin-like notebooks are the perfect mini accessory for any jacket pocket or evening bag. One notebook for each month of the year, each one demarcated by a tiny punch hole. So the first notebook features a single hole, the second book has two holes and so on, all the way up through 12. Blank pages make them ideal for artists, architects and doodlers of all ages. The set, neatly filed in its own black box, makes a good gift for the friend or stranger who has everything or desires nothing…but a place to record stuff.

The description of the site… I have nothing more to add to this except of my deepest admiration for this idea. So damn simple yet so damn useful.

I had to laugh when I found this and instantly loved it. At least… a good fortune is guaranteed with this cup. Stupid me just lost the site where I found it. :-)
