I’m a big fan of Icebreaker. They make some damn good-looking performance apparel. All of their products are made of 100% merino wool which regulates your temperature in cool or warm conditions. It also doesn’t hold stink, so it can be worn over and over again without being washed… perfect for travel. (I never pack a bag without at least one Icebreaker top.)
This boatneck sweater is part of their new “Black Sheep” travel and urban wear line. It’s constructed with a premium fine gauge merino wool which is soft, lightweight, and non-itchy. Sold.
Athena Boatneck Sweater – $180
I find so many things around the web that scream Velokova so I’m rolling out a new segment called “Add to Cart Monday”. Everything listed will be available for purchase on the web… could be anything from a simple scarf to a night’s stay at the Icehotel. (This could get ugly.)
Up first is this soft black leather “Mini Phaedra Bag” from my new favorite Etsy shop, Milloo. It’s the perfect clutch to hold all your chips at the blackjack table.
Ships from Athens, Greece - $78
This one’s for all the men out there that read my blog. If I were a dude, I’d invest in some pieces from Outlier. Their designs are classic, timeless, and refined… the way clothes should be. Plus, you would never know it since they look so damn good, but they’re built for performance and are meant to move freely with your every move. The company started out by creating a good looking pant designed for bike commuting. They’ve since grown to making a range of high quality pieces that are breathable and durable for movement in every day life. Not only are they killing it with their line, but how insane is the photography?!
Oh, and they just started a women’s line…….. watch out!
Still crazy about these furry snow boots from Sorel. Every winter I have my eyes on them. If I were heading to the mountains, spending a night in the Icehotel, or if I just had to shovel snow out of my driveway, I’d buy them in a heartbeat. Love it when form meets function… They’re warm and waterproof so they’ll keep your toes toasty and dry. Now you can order them right here in my Amazon shop.
(Also, more new goodies added here!)
When I’m traveling I like to pack a bag that can withstand all the airport abuse but also manages to do it in style.
Freitag is a Swiss company that makes messengers, duffles, and backpacks out of some pretty tough stuff like truck tarpaulins, old seat belts, bike inner tubes, and airbags. Not only are these materials tough, but they’re water resistant and eco-friendly.
I can’t get over these pieces from the newly launched reference collection…. Loving the dark metal chain detail and all those straps.
Here’s a product video that will leave you scratching your head (or maybe your belly).

As a native Floridian, the Keys have always come through as the perfect summer playground for fun and sun. There’s snorkeling, key lime pie eating, beer drinking, site seeing, and my personal favorite, people watching (it’s unmatched there). It’s also the perfect place for finding unique treasures from local artists. I recently went to Key West for a girls weekend and every time I’m there I make a point to stop by the KINO sandal factory. You have to walk past the bars and hit the side streets to find this little hidden gem. They’ve been pumping out sandals since the ’60s, and in this small corner shop the pungent smell of leather always smacks you in the face when you walk in. At only $12 a pair, you are faced with the dilemma of not bringing home a whole bag of them. So I picked these (#4 the Julia) and they’ve been glued to my feet ever since. I love the knotted rope detail and the adjustable buckle.
They don’t sell to retailers or have an online store, so the only way to buy is the old fashioned way… using an order form and sending it in with your payment.
Key West pics to come.
