a week before I have received the update from my friends Dennis, I was able to prepare thanks to his help. I hear the IKEA location will be releasing this collection. still some of his last few items like his carpet were released at an exclusive pop up event.,
the best thing I plan to do is be in the line earliest I can , I woke up around 4:30am and arrived around 5:30am and the line already busy.
It was a very chilling morning and I didnt prepare a jacket for the event. Many people are already lined up since mid midnight, they brought their chair ready to camp for this event.
Event was handling very well , the IKEA employee was checking everyone if they are doing okay or if they need go to the bathroom. They even had security to make sure of everyones safety.
By 7AM, people Began receiving the wristband for the event in line.
After receiving your wristband, you were able to walk around and get some food and drinks .
Saw this awesome sacai blazer in person. Really love the details in the design.
They only allowed a small group in for shopping in the 2nd floor. They made the event with a DJ in hand and some event staff to help answer any questions.
When you wait for the line, they also gave you a special treat.
First one that was gone was the Mona Lisa, an unique wall canvas with USB light up. For sure Virgil will able to reuse this world-famous painting on this collection. everyone is trying to get this one. They sold out as soon as we arrived.
The display furniture was something I really loved. The simple natural wood colors.
The chair frame is made of solid wood, which is a durable natural material. The clear-lacquered surface is easy to wipe clean. May be completed with FIXA stick-on floor protectors to protect the underlying surface against wear. $149.00
Another popular item was the “wet Grass” carpet. I love the texture and colors.
Testing a sneaker shoot, the color has some color depth from light to dark.
The toolbox set is next to the DJ, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take details pics.
Another item was a big rug with an IKEA receipt printed on it.
In person, the clock is very nice and the size was much bigger than I was expecting.
bag section. remember the Comme des Garcons did a SHIRT PVC Kraft Paper Messenger Tote Bag, is very close with this collection design, CDG one for sure will be better quality.
MARKERAD daybed is Virgil Abloh’s tribute to Scandinavian design and is a multifunctional platform for a home in constant motion. As he himself says: “Dreams come true when you don’t sleep” $130.00
Glass-door cabinet, pine, 31 1/2×31 1/2 ” With a glass-door cabinet, you can show off as well as protect your glassware or your favorite collection. Solid wood has a natural feel. We recommend you secure this furniture to the wall with the enclosed safety device to prevent it from tipping over.
Different wall materials require different types of fasteners. Use fasteners suitable for the walls in your home. $199.99
Finally I got everything I need. Time to go down stairs for check out. Check my cart.
During the shopping time, the Mona Lisa was gone. The person next to me has one and he let me check the details.
The person who is front of me has a nice Kanye bear custom Yeezy 350. He told me he customized by himself.
I think I got home around 11:30 AM. so I have time to relaxed and take a hot shower and nap.
So sure I got the MARKERAD 17-piece toolset, I think the box is nice with clear see-through plastic cover lids. the original set was from the Designer: H Preutz , you can get the same one with cheaper price for alternative
Comprises Hammer with separate rubber casing, adjustable spanner, combination pliers, bits screwdriver with bits for slotted, cross-headed, allen screws and bradawl. Designer: H Preutz/V Abloh
I was in the line most peoples are looking for Powder-coated steel, polystyrene plastic, and glass.MARKERAD wall clock, the simple minimal design. this original design by Virgil Abloh
Details of the clock: Time never stands still. You can’t stop it, it’s an endless moment of the present. This white wall clock with a clean design encourages us to reflect on time and what it means, Highly accurate at keeping time as it is fitted with a quartz movement. No disturbing ticking sounds since the clock has a silent quartz movement. We recommend using alkaline batteries in the clock. The clock cannot be used with rechargeable batteries. $49.99
The next item is the most hype item, The wet grass rug, high pile 100% polypropylene. W133×L195cm. many of them was shock after they find out the real retail price and some of them immediately lost their purchase interests.
Details: This rug embraces a playful twist of the notion of indoors versus outdoors that reflects the mobility of a modern home. The result is a functional product that is also a work of art, Use STOP anti-slip underlay under the entire rug for increased safety. $249
before the official release many IG post are posting the medium, natural, 9 gallons $19.99 Shopping bag, this design was adding quotation marks to words, Virgil Abloh takes them out of context in order to ironically challenge the viewer. What is the real difference between a handbag and a work of art?
Personally this bag size are much useful as daily bag, is much smaller and looks great.
I also cop the large size natural, 21 gallons Shopping bag, this bag also adding quotation marks to words. and was first time sneak peek in IKEAtoday event, he was hand build a prototype for this bag. most likely is samesize as Ikea blue shopping bag
The event was awesome! I was able meeting some local new friends who is interested in the hype stuff. Lots sneaker talk and street fashion. This reminds me of the old school sneaker line up and meeting new friends and supporting local street cultures. IKEA did a very good job for managing the event. Everything went very well . Everyone was chill and happy to cop their winning items.
I saw some crazy Nike event was happening in Complex con and Nike was offering exclusive services for each shoe. To be able to customize any shoe with dip dye and to apply alterations. Unfortunately, the dip dye is no longer available in this Nike SF store. As I saw the information for this event, I reached out to my contacts out in north CA and one person agreed to attend the event with me. I really appreciate my friend Domenic bathke manchester, without Dom this dream shoe would have never been apart of my sneaker collection.

I have always been a huge fan of Takashi Murakami and his iconic flower design, This year he brought some new design with the Chicago cubs in a joint collaboration.
Luckily I was able purchase them from their online store later but only some merchandise was left and the site was offering free shipping.
The size was L and the quality is average , the shirt design is silk screen.
One thing I like silkscreen they might least longer, but it is very expensive to print multi colors.
The back had his flower design and it makes the shirt looks awesome. The details look amazing. This is the main reason I really love this shirt.
Really enjoy rocking my new merchandise, this is totally worth it to have in my collection.
Our weekend trip to Clermont was amazing! We went to the Southern Hill Farms which is a one hundred twenty-acre farm with the newest crops including delightful sunflowers and pumpkin patches.
About the Seasonal Crops, please check their website for the details.they will be perennial plantings include forty acres of blueberry bushes, five acres of peach trees and sixty-eight acres of ornamental trees. Our newest crops include delightful sunflowers and zinnias, both of which are available for picking during our Spring U-pick and Fall Festival. be planting strawberries within the next couple of years which allows us to extend our u-pick season, giving you another harvest to enjoy at the farm (in case the fresh donuts weren’t enough). The Fall Festival is a family destination to remember, held weekends in October.
The location is at Clermont, countryside area of Florida, but you still see a bunch casr try to get in the locations, they starting line up nearby the parking lot, highly recommend get the ticket online before you going, they also goes by time slot, they didn’t really check the ticket slot time when we arrived.
The entrance, please make sure to bring something like a sandals or shoes you don’t care about. This place is all fully covered by dirt and sand. Best time to go probably before they closed. Noon was way too hot.
first thing we checked out is the pumpkin patch, we took many family photos.
Neesa thought the pumpkins was her snacks.
Custom made Halloween lantern is for sale.
My lovely Yeezy 500 is getting destroyed in the dirt.
let’s taking Nessa first Halloween picture!
She loved it! check her big smiles.
Not so happy for the hot weather 🙁 highly recommend came after 4pm.
Everything else was great just the weather. Make sure do not bring nice shoes around here. The number one thing is checking the weather

Thanks, https://www.notre-shop.com for an awesome deal. for sure I can’t skip a great deal and also being Yeezy fans the season 6 is definitely my favorite.

After my favorite restaurant Aki closed, we found this new place from my coworkers. We have been checking all the reviews and details and finally were able to arrange some time to invite my friend’s Andy and my mom to have a great Sunday brunch together.

Neesa and I were ready for our Sunday brunch. The Sunday Unlimited Lunch starts at 11:00 am – 2:00 pm Every Sunday only! an all you can eat $39.00 Adults & $19 Children.
inside interior looks amazing. I love the clean installation.
The wait time is short and quick. take only about a few minutes till the orders are being made.
Select adult beverages with all you can eat selection food will be $45.00.
Also this open kitchen style is nice and clean, you can see how they prepare the food or the chef making sushi in front of you.
The sashimi looks great and fresh, the cut is perfect too
Nigiri selection looks so good. this probably my favorite. Tuna ,salmon and white tuna
Dessert selection of Japanese Inspired Desserts
Salads with Ginger dressing.
Cauliflower salad is amazing too.
DIY Bao selection, you can make your own Bao!
The shrimp cocktail is fresh and I really enjoyed them too .
Some hot food selections with mushroom fried rice
Now is time for chow down. we already have our food lined up!
Neesa is waiting for her food too.
The hand rolled sushi is amazing to taste too, my first bite I can already taste the freshness from the fish.
I was impressed with the sushi. the balance with the rice are is done very well.
The size was perfect, not to much rice like other place that overdo it.
Next to the sushi table is the Made to Order Poké small selection bowl, I like the color and selection, simple and spicy.
The great thing for this unlimited brunch is the hot food order. Most of the order are small sizes like snacks, they only took several minutes to come out. So andy ordered Pork Ramen bean sprouts, menma, mayu, beni shoga, hard boiled egg, tonkotsu broth, scallion.
My wife ordered the Takoyaki (octopus fritters), Japanese mayo, takoyaki sauce, aonori, bonito flakes, beni shoga, she love this plate she ordered it twice.
The grilled octopus, love the presentation. Is super delicious aswell.
We never skip the Miso soup every time we dine in a Japanese restaurant. This miso soup also offered a nice selection with mushroom, tofu, and seaweed,.
I would highly recommend trying the Robata Grilled vegetable corn, turnips, baby carrots, really impressive how they were able made it so delicious by grilled with some simple seasoning,
Japanese Slider beef burger on fresh-baked bun, shiso, fried shallots, cabbage, tomato, honey wasabi mayo, this probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had.
Dessert-of-the-Day Choose from a selection of Japanese Inspired Desserts
The dessert was also served with some fresh fruit. I love the passion fruit flavor, it makes the dessert taste makes not to sweet. The blueberry /strawberry chocolate cake is amazing.
Thanks Andy for joining with us. I really enjoyed everything from Dragonfly, from experience to all the small food details, so impressed with the food quality and their customer service. I wish I can try everything this time we are so full from having all sushi selection. For sure this going be our treat visiting every month to have a nice Sunday lunch.
I was very lucky I could find the Hennessy V.S Limited Edition by Jon One in our local store. I wish I was able to grab the Futura or Kaws limited a while ago but I think the Jon One was still awesome enough for starting a collection of drinks.
For sure I will be planning to use this for a special occasion!
