Tokidoki Blog

Trendy Stars just posted their selection of Spring II 2008 clothing for men, including a new t-shirt design that we haven’t seen anywhere else yet.

They also have the record hoodie in all sizes, so hurry and get it while you can!

Plus, those of us girls who liked the first batch of Spring 2008 t-shirt designs for guys are in luck - Trendy Stars also added women’s versions of each of those designs, some in multiple color choices, plus one new record t-shirt design. Here are a few highlights:

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?

Trendy Stars just posted their shipment of tokidoki spring 2008 t-shirts. There are a few men’s versions of designs that have been released for women in the batch, one of which features Adios & Ciao Ciao. There are also some designs that are brand new (and extremely cute!), like these:

I love the little skull pizza that is on the back of the second shirt - I added an image of it as an inset.

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!):

• The raincoat
• The 2 hoodies in the post immediately below this one
• Annnnnnnd:

I like the color combinations so much this season that I have been totally won over by some bits of pink here & there.

Reader Tara from Hawaii just sent me a photo of her European tokidoki tote bag - which she had signed by Simone at the Ala Moana Center Singing Party in Hawaii in November. The bag is definitely real, and Simone even commented to her on it being a rare item.

Tara also sent in a photo of a rare Spring 2005 tokidoki t-shirt that she had signed by Simone. I love the extra sushi character that he added!

Now that I have finally taken these new goodies off long enough to photograph them - here are some pictures of the tokidoki gifts that I got for Christmas. I love them all!

I was very excited that my full set of Cactus Pups arrived in record time from Panik’s Toy Box, so I got to open them on Christmas too. The sausage with the little face on it is too cute.

What tokidoki did you get for Christmas? (Note that now that we are no longer at Wordpress, you can post photos in the comments now - just use the code:

and remove the *s before posting).

p.s. I have added several new Reader tokidoki Collections in the past two days, check them out.

Reader Betty sent in photos of the new tokidoki raincoat that is a limited edition of 600 - it is so cute, I want one!! It retails for $79. She also sent in photos of another new super-cute Valentine’s Day t-shirt featuring Adios (retail: $44) that I also want. Here are her pictures for us to drool over:

Happy Holidays, everyone! I had a very tokidoki Christmas - I hope those of you who celebrate Christmas did too! I will post pictures of some of my new goodies (including my full set of Cactus Pups, which arrived at lightning speed in time for Christmas) within the next few days. I have also received more new reader tokidoki collection photos that will be posted by the end of the week.

For now, here is a quick update about some new tokidoki clothing - it looks like there will be no post-Christmas rest for our wallets! Metropark just added two new tokidoki clothing items with a Valentine’s Day theme.

First is the Adios & Ciao Ciao Love T-Shirt:

And next is an Adios & Ciao Ciao True Love Short Sleeve Hoodie - that’s a bunch of killer candy on the front, and it says “tokidoki” in big letters under the hood on the back. The hood is also lined with a cute Adios & Ciao Ciao all-over print:

…that Trendy Stars just got a major facelift? Good job to them, I think the new design looks great! They also added new LP record necklaces & earrings, and some new tokidoki baby onesies - how cute is this one?! I hope this design comes in an adult-sized t-shirt soon too:

And I have been meaning to post the rest of my tokidoki Thanksgiving sale loot for a few days now - here is the new hoodie that I got from Trendy Stars’ sale (plus some tees for good measure!):

I especially love this new razor blade character that popped up on the back of the Cactus Punk t-shirt (it’s on the front too, next to the safety pin):

Exciting news: the new tokidoki Cactus Punk t-shirt comes in more than just pink for women - Trendy Stars just added it in grey! I’m excited - and glad I waited a little bit before ordering the men’s version!

Trendy Stars added some more new tokidoki clothing too, including the black dress, the orange version of the ipod girl t-shirt, and a new v-neck sweater that I haven’t seen anywhere else yet.

I think it’s great that tokidoki keeps branching out into new clothing styles - I hope that pants are next! I’m also happy that they finally released a sweater that isn’t made of wool. I would love to see them release sweaters in cotton/synthetic blends next winter.

p.s. For the Harajuku Lovers fans, Trendy Stars also has some Harajuku Lovers Cha Ching Wallets and Pop Bags that come with Harajuku Lovers branded holiday boxes available now too.
