Harajuku Happiness for the Holidays

One of our favorite people in the world is the UPS man; he's like Santa. Well, yesterday the FedEx guy showed up with Harajuku Lover's and it was like New Year's Eve. We turned up the music, started to dance and snap some iphone photos; the only thing missing was the champagne.

For Holiday '09, Gwen Stefani, creator of Harajuku Lover's, partnered with Japanese illustrator, Sachiko Kanaizumi, to deliver a limited edition "Wonderland" tunic that's the softest $68 you'll ever put on. And the $88 "Chalk Board" jacket she created is just as fun, with its bat wings and illustrated hoodie liner. Of course, the highly stylized "Zip This" pants ($88 too) match both of the other pieces perfectly (when the paparazzi show up it's best to be coordinated:).

We've noticed a new sophistication to the Harajuku line. Maybe it's because Stefani turned 40 this year and she likes to wear her own stuff. So while you might not want to be a rock star, age should no longer be an excuse to NOT add a piece of Harajuku Lover's to your holiday wish list.
