this weekend ac and i poked around soho after he bit the bullet and decided to buy a vespa. it’s been a dream of his for a long time so we’re now the proud owners of a cute little black scooter. i look like a super-dork in my sparkly star helmet (girly all the way) but i’ll have to say, it’s a pretty piece of machinery. anyway, after he bought the bike we walked further up crosby street and stopped in michele varian. i’ve written about michele’s shop before but i’ve never actually been inside. what a dolt i’ve been! her shop is gorgeous. in addition to her pillows she carries a stunning collection of vintage objects, lighting, frames, artwork and little accessories like this owl tape measurer. i really had to keep myself from buying this little guy. i reminded myself that i already own two perfectly good ones from the hardware store but i’m really tempted to give this to someone as a gift. but if you’re in need of a fun tape measurer you can pick up this guy right here for $98.
