After working out of Totokaelo's stockroom for the past ten years, Jill Wenger was able to secure the space next door to their Seattle storefront to house the growing retailer's new offices. The interior speaks for itself with plenty of natural light, classic furniture and lots of white space.

Puma States

—01. Pine Green.

Words

Puma is not a brand that I usually associate with, however I will be forced into a relationship when Arsenal's new kit deal takes effect next season. Like many brands with a long-standing history, they have made some great shoes and you can't deny the appeal of classics like the Clyde, Basket, Suede and maybe even the Liga. All of these styles fit within a similar design aesthetic, so it's no surprise that the States, which were originally released in the 1980s, also get a thumbs up, especially in this Pine Green colourway.

Legendary Pacific Northwest outfitters, Filson, have recently opened their New York City outpost in NoHo, and the 1800 square foot space is a continuation of their rugged heritage. The design concept encapsulates their traditional aesthetic, utilizing reclaimed wood from Brooklyn's Domino Sugar Factory, a 42 star flag nodding to their Washington origins, and a living plant wall from Green Fingers' founder Satoshi Kawamoto. The new location offers a selection of Filson's signature luggage, leather accessories, apparel and iconic outerwear, as well as being the first store to carry their newly released camera bag collection.

This is one of my favourite pieces from the Needles SS14 collection. The boiled linen has a unique, rich texture and the grey colour works especially well with the tan buttons.

—01. Microwobbleboard midsole.
—02. Adjustable fastenings.

Words

Lately I've been looking for a pair of athletic river sandals for the summer. There aren't many good options out there, but this version is really standing out to me as a possible candidate. The footbed looks incredibly comfortable and the design is understated and highly functional, which is everything you want out of this style.

Corona Beethoven Sweatshirt

—01. Also available as a T-shirt, with or without a pocket.

Words

While potentially lost on those that don't have an appreciation for this type of music, T-shirts and sweatshirts featuring classical composers' visages are a vintage trend that's been acknowledged by Corona this season. Printed on US-made Champion staples, the Beethoven sweat is my choice but if you're more of a Bach fan, there's several options for you too.

—01. Hyperfused toe area.
—02. Do It.

Words

The Nike Lunar Fly 306 debuted last season in three rather vibrant colours. While I've been on the fence about the large type placement and velcro straps, it was mainly the colourways that were holding me back. Two of the four Spring-Summer '14 options, however, are much more appealing, especially the black version pictured here.
