Tuesday, June 24th, 2008And Yet Another Summer Nautical Collection Item
Monday, June 23rd, 2008It looks like new items from the summer 2008 nautical clothing collection aren’t quite done filtering out yet. I just found another new item that I haven’t seen anywhere else yet on Trendy Stars – a grey strappy jumper. It looks like the ties at the shoulders make the strap length adjustable, which is a nice touch.
Also a reminder that we are at the halfway point for submitting contest entries – make sure to get them in by Thursday, June 26th at 11:59pm EST!
Yay, New Toys!
Saturday, June 21st, 2008I just received my Skeletrino and Skeletrina vinyl toys from The Giant Peach – that was quick! They are soOoO cute that I think they are my new favorite toys (of course, I think I say that every time a new tokidoki toy gets released – but they do just keep getting cuter & cuter!). Here they are making themselves right at home in a cozy corner of my toy shelf already:
Bonus notation: Reader Sarah gave me the heads up that Karmaloop just added a new page of tokidoki for Hello Kitty clothing. As always, you can use rep code SR426 for a 20% discount at checkout.
The Spiaggia Print Re-Release is June 20th!
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Reader Ku`uipo just let me know that she received a call telling her that the tokidoki Spiaggia print re-release is happening tomorrow! Doors open at 9:30am at the Ala Moana LeSportsac store. As with the other tokidoki bag print re-releases, the Spiaggia print re-release is happening at LeSportsac stores in Hawaii and Guam only.
Our Biggest Contest Ever!!
Thursday, June 19th, 2008It’s time for another contest – this time with some truly amazing prizes! There will be three winners, and I will start by telling you about the goodies, which will be generously donated by tokidoki themselves.
FIRST PLACE PRIZE: a limited edition tokidoki for Mikasa soccer ball (only 1,000 of these balls are being made) and the THREE newest tokidoki skate decks.
SECOND PLACE PRIZE: a limited edition tokidoki for Mikasa soccer ball and a signed poster.
THIRD PLACE PRIZE: a limited edition tokidoki for Mikasa soccer ball.
So what do you need to do to enter? Create either a YouTube video* or a photograph** that explains what you would do with the tokidoki soccer ball if you win one. The top 3 most creative videos/photos will win the prizes listed above. Comment on this post to let me know that you plan to enter, and then submit your entries via e-mail to tokidokiblog@gmail.com. I will then forward the entries on to tokidoki, who will be judging the contest.
If you’re feeling a little creatively challenged, I’ll start you off with an idea: your entry could for instance show a unique way that you would put the ball on display in your home.
The deadline for entries is Thursday, June 26th at 11:59pm EST. Winners will be announced on Friday, June 27th as soon as tokidoki sends me the results.
*Need to know how to make a YouTube video? Learn how here!
**Each person’s submission(s) will count collectively as a single entry, but there is no limit to the number of uses for the ball that you may think up. If this means sending in multiple photos or videos then by all means go for it.
