It’s been over six months since my last Top Ten and a fair bit has happened since then. I’ve been pretty busy working on various projects, and with the re-opening of Laced‘s (proper) store coming very soon I’ve found some time to compile a wish list of goodies that I’d love to see in my stocking this year round. I’ve made it simple for y’all by including prices and links (where possible) to the items so… no pressure…

The boys over the other side of the world country at Butter Goods have just dropped their Spring/Summer 2011 range and it keeps true to their simple and effective aesthetic.

Hopefully Santa can bring me something for Christmas… In the mean time you can pick up Butter locally through Combined and Sneak & Destroy.
