BUVETTE is my favorite new restaurant, or, as the owner calls it, a gastroteque. this rustic little place is filled with magic. the waiters are quirky, charismatic, enthusiastic, and they bust their asses off. servers at the bar works in buttoned-up shirts, waistcoats, and newsboy caps. nostalgia! the octopus and the rabbit are delicious, and the sauce is so good, john and i kept asking for more oily-soft bread that comes with crisp shreds of bittersweet onion on top. eating here makes me feel like i am a kid in a circus who keeps gasping and oooh-ing. the magnificent finale of the dinner would be the chocolate mousse and a cup of americano. ummm

this handcrafted oxidized sterling whale stick pin is entitled the great beast, created by the talented derrick cruz of BLACK SHEEP AND PRODIGAL SONS. everyone should go to his shop in the lower east side, it's called the OCCULTER. what amazes me is not only the horse hair bangle, but those sterile format paperbacks. each book is rubber-sealed with embossed titling. you simply have to rip the binding by pulling the attached metal-ended cord just to begin reading. once open, frayed binding tape may be folded into to the inside of the cover to create a clean edge or left in shreds as physical evidence of first contact. genius!

viggo jonason has a muji notebook in his bag and he draws on it. the tattoo on his left arm is his own design and it says wild. at the day of the shoot there was this thug who just randomly joined us and taught us how to do those finger signs, hilarious. and he has gold teeth! lol

bron yr aur

bron yr aur
the abstract scents of tisane are tres personal and based on scent memory of a place and of an experience. my favorite is BRON YR AUR - think stone cottage in the welsh countryside. rain drops & moss. a walk down country lanes in a landscape where magic fills the air. comes in a 40% recycled heavy weight vintage style glassware with pure soy wax hand blended with beeswax. and the packaging is just dope
