let’s talk about sex
I’m a firm believer that gifts of love should be given everyday. But thanks to Hallmark, February 14th was deemed as the only required day. Hmph. I think this year you should buy something for yourself. And when I say “for yourself” I mean, something that you AND someone else will enjoy. So this applies to both boys and girls when it comes to sex. Don’t buy sex, buy something that screams sex. Sexy. Sexy, sexy, sexy. Because sexy on the outside isn’t much if you aren’t sexy underneath.
The Lake and Stars. New to Acrimony for Valentine’s Day. Come in to check it out, or call to get yours (and I mean GET YOURS). 415.861.1025.
jewels for you too, boys.
I’m still trying to fully wrap my head around the world of men’s jewelry. We get so many guys asking for jewelry, but most of them don’t actually own any. They’re looking for the “right” piece, and it’s hard to find the right piece if you don’t like skulls or crossbones. The Japanese are pretty obsessed with 925 silver, chains, bracelets, vintage charms and even skulls. Here are some scans from the latest Japanese magz:
Julius x Garni painted chains & rings. (18,900 yen) These are super duper rad.
Hysteric Glamour sterling silver headphone chain.
Vantique Jewelry, from cool vintag-y finds.
Eagle necklace with green globe. I’ll have one of these for me.
Post Holiday Fun
With all the holiday madness, we didn’t have time to properly celebrate the passing of 2009. Not to mention, the restaurant I wanted to go to had a 4 week waiting list. But we finally gathered the family and enjoyed a BIG German feast @ Suppenküche. Bratwurst, Schnitzel, Spaetzle, Dark Hefenweiser, yeast-free beer and good ol’ fashioned German fun. See for yourself.

Resolutions.
My resolution is to not have any more new year’s resolutions. Personal enrichment should be a daily chore, not something done once per year. One of the more prominent “personal enrichments” I’m currently working on is something I share for both myself and for Acrimony. The ever so powerful world of marketing tactics has confused many a consumer into making terrible purchases. Whether they be in poor taste, poor judgement, or just plain stupid, consumers have been seduced into buying things based on brand names and not based on quality or design. So in my continuing efforts to conserve my resources for only the most intrinsically amazing purchases, I’ve found myself more dutiful in quality and design diligence. I bid farewell to shopping remorse with the last decade (along with honey baked ham). This increased diligence will hopefully reflect in the merchandise you see here in the shop as well. In kind, although I’m a huge Rodarte fan, you won’t see this sweater pop up anywhere within 20 feet of myself or the shop. How. Why. Why. WHY?
Happy TWENTYTEN, people!
One piece, countless ways to wear it!
Acrimony now carries Harputs Own
Harput’s Own angora “Spies Dress” $640.00
This dress is undoubtedly the softest and coziest dress- all while maintaining a sexy silhouette. Not your average dress. The neck hole is actually purposely placed way off center… So cool! Wear it short or wear it long. Twist it around your body or let it fall the way it wants. Possibilities are endless! Call Acrimony at 415.861.1025
Harputs Own “Square Vest” $380
Where to begin… this vest is like owning 5 pieces in one. Wear it as shown above, with a belt, with out a belt, upside down, reverse side, or backwards. Come in for an instructional course if you’re baffled and prepare to have your mind blown! Vest is worn with Harputs Own “Cross Dress”, and as with all pieces from this line, it can be worn a myriad of ways! Call Acrimony at 415.861.1025
what did you get?
I can’t tell you how happy I am that Christmas is over. The pressure, the crowds, the over eating, the fake smiles. All the blog posts about SALES and GIFT GUIDES and other entries that you’re probably sick of seeing. Whoa. It’s overwhelming. I just want to get on with the year and start a new decade. A better one. A more prosperous one.
BUT, before it’s over, let’s indulge in the gifts that I really enjoyed. These are gifts given, received or just purchased for myself. Take notes people, these are good:
Cire Trudon Candle. Dada scent. This is what French Royalty used to burn back in the 1600’s. I broke it down to about $1.50 per hour of burning, so I’m choosing my burn time carefully. The packaging is amazing, and the candle smells provocative and sensual. What a lovely gift…
Erica Weiner Vertebrae Necklace in brass. Delicate yet edgy. What’s that around your neck? Snake backbone!!
McKenna jewelry armoire. The biggest, baddest jewelry box out there. If you know me, even a little, you know I own a lot of jewels. This should help keep me organized and blinged out at all times.
Cool Restaurants, Top of the World, TeNeues. I love to eat and I love to travel. Hopefully one day I will conquer this book.
Creole Cookbook, more Caribbean Creole than Cajun Creole, but still amazing. And it has pictures for every recipe so you know whether or not it should look “burnt.”
ACNE Atacoma wedges in grey suede, the new color for Spring 2010. 120mm wedge which gives me a nice 5 inches of height. The platform is made of light-weight rubber, making these great for prancing around. “Prancing” is what I’ve been doing.
Yeojin Bae wool geometric coat. Buckles and belts everywhere…stare at me long enough and get a headache! This is my new favorite jacket, for the moment!
La Mer, Creme de la Mer. For a man or woman, share! This stuff will make your skin scream YOUTH. Save that chicken neck for someone that gobbles. You can’t be wearing turtle necks in the summer!
Mario Portolano leather gloves. Keep the hands toasty in cashmere lined leather gloves. Even if he thinks he doesn’t need gloves, he does!
Louis Vuitton Epi leather wallet. A man’s wallet tells a lot about him. If he doesn’t have one, he’s probably broke. That’s OK! Buy him one.
Common Projects, Dirty Training Boot. Every man needs a high top sneaker. If you can’t pull off a combat boot, give the sneaker alternative.
Muji Recycled Yarn elephant. An eco-friendly gift that’s both cute and huggable. Get into it people, Santa went green this year.
The Ring Master…
We can’t get enough of these rings by Made Her Think, so we decided to throw them all on at once and have a ring party.
Available HERE.
