Kool Mo by Rocksmith @ Caliroots

Caliroots have brought it once again (you really can’t stop those Swedes) with this great allover hoodie by Rocksmith. I’m a fan of contrasts, and putting this neon green up with that somber black is pretty freakin’ sweet. The hood lining looks pretty interesting too, although its rather odd that they would decide to add in grey to the colour palette just for the hood, personally I think that black would be better suited just to keep everything flowing nicely.

Gnash by Mishka NYC

No big print today, no crazy slogans, just a nice simple hoodie with a few nice touches of contrasting colour that would make this a nice addition to any collection.

Cropped Bear Zip Up by Jessica Louise

A nice simple hoodie today to ease me back into the blogging habit after a little break for Easter (not that I’m at all religious, but when everyone you know is off work its hard to buck the trend), I found out yesterday at a dinner party that Americans don’t get Easter Monday or Good Friday off work, I pitied you all very much whilst tucking into slow-roasted lamb.

Anyway, the stitched on bear applique is pretty cute, but its actually the hood lining that I’m far more interested in. I like the way that there is such a strong contrast between the blue on the outside and the starkness of the black and white striped lining, although I guess that the model kind of exacerbates the contrast too as she’s pretty black-and-white herself. This is presumably a high-quality piece too, as most of the items in the Jessica Louise store are hand cut and sewn, which as you would imagine does increase the amount of time between ordering and the postman dropping that package into your waiting hands (about 1-2 weeks in most cases).

It’s available in several colours, none of which are all that shy!
