On slow weekend days we like to get creative at the store. And so yesterday we had a little impromptu photoshoot starring Cameron (which no doubt you’ve seen on the blog before), and shot by Laia with her trusty blackberry. We hope it’ll inspire you to wear amazing hats and epic platforms on your everyday jaunts.

On Friday night we received a shipment of Comme des Garcons fragrances and among them was their new scent Wonderwood, for the person ” who loves wood more than words could say” (we are not making a that’s what she said joke about that, by the way…). All of us kids that work here have taken to wearing the scent and so we are now dubbing it part of the unofficial “OAK uniform”. The scent is very masculine but that isn’t stopping us ladies from spraying it on! This one won’t last on the shelves for long, that’s for sure.
As a bonus treat, here’s the movie that the Brothers Quay did back in March for the official release of the fragrance. It perfectly fits the “hippie vibes” some of us are feeling for this summer.

Once upon a time we had a lot of gold balloons at the store.
Inevitably, shenanigans ensued.
Enjoy!
Perhaps one of the best trends for Fall 2010 is the renewed interest in the supermodels from the late 90’s. Kristen McMenamy is still a glamazon at 40, especially with her long silver tresses and commanding presence. This photograph from August’s issue of Dazed & Confused magazine shot by Tierney Gueron is pretty much the best thing I’ve seen all year.

Puppy Thor is one of our favorite customers at the store.
Today he just chilled for a bit.
Ah the life of the dog!
It’s all about Grace Jones, dahhling.
Brooklyn-based artist Keren Richter’s work is think with life and personality and has the ability to transport the viewer to another world. We are super psyched to have her t-shirt for Blood is the New Black for sale at the store. Get into the psychedelic summer of 2010!
Keren Richter for Blood is the New Black Cleopatra Tee.
