More items from the summer 2008 nautical collection keep showing up bit by bit to tempt us with! I just found two more new tops on Trendy Stars (plus a third with the help of Krisha!): a crab net print short sleeved hoodie, a striped top with Bastardino on the back (chewing a rope that spells out tokidoki on the front!), and a mermaid tank top. I really like the cut of the stripey top - the extra short sleeves look really cute!
Vicky from Chicki sent me some photos of the newest 2008 European tokidoki clothing available through Fornari for us to drool over. She may be ordering the hoodies (they are my favorites!) but wants to get the bags in stock first.
Remember some of the European tokidoki clothing that we have seen before on eBay and European websites that we either can’t read, can’t order from, or can’t afford the shipping costs from? As it turns out, many of these clothing items are coming to the USA this fall! Like for instance…
I am excited - although my wallet continues to live in fear. 
I will post more details as they become available.
Also, speaking of items that are coming soon, the tokidoki Mimobots (which are designer flash drives) are due to be released in mid April 2008. They will hold 1GB of data and retail for $44.95. Thanks to Joyce for this info.
Karmaloop just added their Spring 2008 tokidoki clothing, including the raincoat and all-over print hoodie in all sizes. As usual, all of their gear is 20% off with rep code SR426 at checkout. I am still debating on getting the stripey dress - it looks really cute on their model.
Reader Krisha just got the men’s Spring II record hoodie in a size Small, and was nice enough to take photos of how it looks on her to share with us. Personally I love the fit, and now I totally want one too!
CUUUUUUUTE!
While I am on the topic, I will add that The Giant Peach just added this record hoodie (along with 3 other new hoodies from the men’s Spring II collection). The exclusive sale at The Giant Peach for Tokidoki Blog readers ends on Thursday - so if you have been thinking about taking advantage of it, don’t forget!
One last thing - if at any time anyone else has any photos of themselves wearing items from the current season of tokidoki clothing that they would like to share with everyone so that we can see what the fit looks like on a real person, please feel free to e-mail them to me (along with what size you are wearing).
JapanLA just let me know that they got their shipment of Spring II tokidoki 2008 clothing for men in - they added 4 new hoodies and 5 new t-shirts to their online shop. The new hoodies include an all-over LP record print that is similar to, but not exactly the same as, the one that Simone has been wearing recently:
[ *curses for missing the Italian version on eBay* ]
And here are a few highlights of the other items - I think that the designs and colors are quite different from what we would usually expect from tokidoki.
I sense some possible Bape & Ice Cream influence - what do you all think?
This momo all-over print tokidoki hoodie just got listed on eBay by that Italian seller who also has the LP Record hoodies:
I think it’s really cute! I wonder if it is a preview for what is to come in the States, or if it will remain a European exclusive. I love the tokidoki all-over print hoodie designs - I hope there are many more to come.
I just spotted the tokidoki LP record all-over print hoodie that Simone has been seen wearing lately on eBay! The seller is located in Italy and the print, tags and details all look legit, so I am sure it is real… ah, the temptation!
Trendy Stars just added their shipment of Spring 2008 clothing, including the two remaining items from the collection that I mentioned were still to come. Both are so cute, I think I need to ammend my wishlist!
Trendy Stars also has the raincoats in S, M, L, and XL - so if you want one, hurry and get one, because they received very limited quantities. Their photos of the dresses show a model wearing leggings, so they are helpful in giving us a better idea of the length and what it would look like on:
I think I might need to eat my words about not liking pink… this season of tokidoki is winning me over!
I just received my package from The Giant Peach containing the Adios & Ciao Ciao all-over print t-shirt, hoodie, and raincoat, and I love it all! The sizing is quite different from the holiday 2007 clothing though. My spring 2008 t-shirt is 2 inches longer than my brown holiday 2007 t-shirt with Sandy on the swing, even though both tees are the same size. In contrast, the spring 2008 hoodie that I got is 2 inches shorter than my tan holiday 2007 hoodie with Sandy on the swing. It is also 2 inches narrower in width, so it is more of a slim fit. Therefore my sizing advice for those who buy online is to size down with the t-shirts if you are on the fence between sizes, but size up with the hoodies. For the raincoat, I got a Medium and I am happy with the fit. If anyone needs measurements, just ask. A Small would have also fit me, but I prefer the extra breathing room since the PVC the raincoats are made of has no give to it. So for the raincoat sizing I recommend that you go with whatever size tokidoki t-shirt usually fits you most comfortably.
So now that we have gotten a look at almost the entire spring 2008 line of tokidoki clothing on The Giant Peach (I think there are just a couple more pieces still to come) - what is on everyone’s spring 2008 wishlist?
My wishlist is: (some of them already ordered from The Giant Peach, who I also snagged all of the photos in this post from - can’t wait!):
I like the color combinations so much this season that I have been totally won over by some bits of pink here & there.
Exciting news: other stores besides Metropark are getting the tokidoki raincoats in! Tobi and The Giant Peach will be adding them very soon, and I also spotted 3 priced fairly on eBay.
I also see that The Giant Peach is in the process of posting their shipment of Spring 2008 clothing - here are two super-cute new hoodies that are up so far:
How cute is the new Adios & Ciao Ciao all-over print?!
Readers Lashonne and Jess discovered another Italian store that sells tokidoki items that are not available in the USA - and this shop does allow you to order online. Sadly though, the prices are pretty killer when you factor in the exchange rate. They sell another style of tokidoki underwear, the tokidoki flip-flops that I blogged about last spring, and more clothing items (including the all-over print hoodie from the post below!). Here are a few highlights:
Lashonne also found this bag on an Italian site called Yoox:
I am wondering if it is the same style of tote bag that readers spotted Simone’s girlfriend carrying at the Simone signing party at Mobius last month.
Reader Jess somehow unearthed this slideshow by andrea.simpson, which features a bunch more tokidoki items that I am guessing are also exclusive to Italy (or Europe?) since the title is written in Italian. Check some of this stuff out - there are tokidoki JEANS! Plus a jacket and hoodie that I absolutely adore and wish I could get my hands on:
I hope that some of these items eventually find their way to the USA!
*drool*
Reader Ashley just found an Italian Web site that sells tokidoki gear - none of which is available in the USA! They have this sweatshirt and hoodie, which feature prints we have seen before on different styles of clothing:
And they have this tokidoki underwear:
AAAAAAAND - a tokidoki bag I haven’t seen anywhere else before:
