The Hundreds have just released their new collection for Tens and it’s available now on Digital Gravel. The Hundreds have always done a great job of designing graphics that bring to life the California Living lifestyle and this season is no exception. With twists on the LA Kings, Lowrider Magazine and the Virgen of Guadalupe they are representing LA culture to the fullest. They also have more Madam bomb hoodies which are too cute. Cop ‘em now ’cause they’re sure to go quickly!

I’m loving ladies’ streetwear now. There are new brands popping up all the time and it’s great to see the variety of personalities that each brand pushes. Next up? Tough Love NYC. They’re hot off the presses with a fresh batch of Valentine’s Day inspired tees. Are you happy in love? They’ve got you covered with the “Love Is In The Air” tee. Are you bitter this year? Over it? Then they’ve got the “Love Stinks” tee. Either way, Tough Love NYC has something for you. And the cleverness of the air-freshener tree together with their taglines adds a little extra personality and shows off their smarts. You can get the tees on their site and you can be their myspace friend.

Dover Street Market is one of my favorite boutiques in the world. Yes, it’s that amazing. How could it not be? It’s the brain child of Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons fame. One of the cool things about DSM is the space and how it’s laid out. There are 6 floors and each have their own theme and the spaces within each floor are being constantly updated. DSM recently revamped 2 sections: Lanvin by Alber Elbaz and the Bookspace: “Opposition: British Alternative Culture of the 1980’s,” by Angela Hill. They’ve also updated their shop with new product from Number (N)ine, Undercover, Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, Rodarte, Comme des Garçons, Comme des Garçons Homme Plus, Junya Watanabe, Junya Watanabe MAN, Tao Comme des Garçons, Comme des Garçons Homme Deux, Ganryu, Christopher Kane, Sara Lanzi, Gareth Pugh, Marios Schwab and Toga. Impressive line-up if I ever saw one. If you’re not in London now, be sure to make a mental note about DSM - this is a definite must-see for any London trip.

NYC boutique I Heart is showing “Moontunes” a collection of watercolors by Jess Rotter through March 4th. Rotter’s imagery is a really unique mix of art nouveau motifs with modern illustrations - just the sort of thing you would expect to see gracing the pages of Nylon Magazine. She pays homage to nostalgic greats like John Phillips and Linda Ronstadt. “Moontunes” is available for viewing exclusively at I Heart and the pieces are for sale. For pricing please contact I Heart.

Married to the Mob just released this teaser photo of an upcoming project they have involving denim jeans.  It looks like they customized the toosh with the initials of the brand “MTTM”.  No word yet on a release but we’ll keep you posted as we get info.

I’ve always loved Kinsey’s characters. His brooding men with droopy eyes - they’re very haunting and stay imprinted in your mind. Tomorrow he’s dropping the “Year of the Woman” (blue & gold) and “Final Protest” around noon through BLK/MRKT Editions. He also just released a 56-pg hardcover catalogue from the “Sure, Why Not” exhibition at BMG. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, if you’re boy is into art these would all qualify as good gifts. I might just get a little something for myself too!

Remember collecting “scratch and sniff” stickers back in the day? I had a sticker book full of them and sometimes I wouldn’t scratch them so they would stay scented longer. Well, if you’re longing for those scratch and sniff days then today is your luck day. Cream is a cute new line of ladies “scratch and sniff” t-shirts that caters to “girls who dream about their future and freely express their own style.” All the tees are scented in yummy scents like raspberry, bubble gum and sunflower. Cream just released a Valentine’s Day edition of tees and you can get them on Karmaloop. Happy scratching and sniffing!
