So here is what Brock told us, re: his pants: “The pink ones are a collaboration between Cactus Store and Shoyoroll, a Japanese karate-uniform company; they did this funny collab of pants and tops. I also got them in green. I have a yellow pair from Eighteen East on Elizabeth Street. I have pleated purple ones from Issey Miyake — I do have a love affair with his pants. Then I have these leopard ones; they’re cheap and cheerful wax-resist print pants from this Senegalese vendor on Seventh Avenue and 10th Street. They were $20; they’re heaven. My other very favorite pair are from YAMMA, they’re made out of this special Japanese cotton. I would rather be expressive with my pants than my tops. Which is maybe not always what people do, but for some reason, there’s something about pant expression — there’s an ability to have more fun with pants. White T-shirt, colored pants. One overarching pants story is they're all comfy, full range of motion — pajama pants that look like they’re not pajama pants. Today I am wearing these black Issey Miyake almost like winter-wool terry-cloth pleated pants which are heaven but they attract so much shmutz. I’ve never had a shmutzier pair of pants in my life.”

In other news: J.Law’s Adidas. A still-in-production cousin (?) to our beloved but difficult-to-procure Chen Taos.  

These little lace coasters are so pretty. But there are so many little lace coasters. These make such nice gifts.

Scooping up as many Dansk teak picture frames as we can find. Non-Dansk ones too. 

The excellent Takata Nursery (they did the indoor garden in this fabulous apartment of aforementioned Brock Forsblom and Jeremy Heimans) is apparently going to be selling a batch of plants, beginning mid-April. We’re following!

And! We are halfway into Jeans Month over at the Strategist. Two big takeaways: The stylish Emily Holland likes Levi's 509s, a straight-leg style we somehow had never heard of before (she bought them at the Consistency Project in Brooklyn), and the also-very-stylish Delphine Del Val is a fan of the medium-blue Wranglers, which Simone has loved forever: "I have had them for a year, I love them!” she told us. “No stretch. They are perfect."
