We’re excited to see tokidoki’s Fall/Winter 2008 collection trickling into various parts of the world! We’ve seen sneak peeks from Chicki of a couple of new jackets coming in, and now Crim Shop in Italy has kindly let us know that the new arrivals are already in their store and they’re quite gorgeous!

I am totally drooling over this beautiful tokidoki Jacket! Classy and definitely suitable to wear on any cold winter’s night (or when you’re on a back of a motorcycle!). Details of the jacket comes in the form of the tokidoki logo on the zipper pull and you can always fold up the collar to cover your neck - nifty for protecting yourself from the wind! Crim Shop also has other new tokidoki apparel for men and women as well as accessories like bracelets and necklaces.

Whilst looking at the new arrivals, we decided to take a visit to tokidoki’s Europe store and they have already updated it with the Fall/Winter collection (yes, we know we can’t shop from that store but ‘window’ shopping is always fun as well~!) Just check out the new tokidoki jeans, tees and jackets! tokidoki did not leave out the guys in their latest collection coz we spotted this really irresistable tokidoki Jacket for the guys:

Military-inspired with roomy pockets all over the front, this tokidoki Jacket looks simple and understated on the outside, but check out the funky interior! You can also find embroidered patches (smiley bullets on the top right pocket, tokidoki logo on the left) that adds on to the military feel of the design. Definitely suitable for daily wear - I would if I could fit into it!

Yesterday we mentioned the Chicki sale to clear some space for the new tokidoki items that will be coming into their store this September/October. Vicky has provided us with some sneak peeks - tokidoki Stationery and a couple of interesting tokidoki Jackets - and we’re pleased to be able to share them with you. So before you go off shopping this weekend, here are the goodies you can be expecting really soon!

First up the tokidoki Stationery - according to Vicky, there will be a NEW RANGE coming up in September. These are made by the same people who did the gorgeous Italian tokidoki Diary/Journal. The upcoming items will include notebooks, folders, journals, pencils, pens, erasers and of course pencil sharpeners!

If the Italian tokidoki Diary is anything to go by - you can be sure to expect loads of gorgeous, intricate details for the new range. Yummy! We’ll definitely update you once we got more information (and hopefully pictures!) of the new stationery. Here are the photos of the current range - always good to share!

We think the idea of seeing Bastardino and Polpettina plus the other tokidoki characters on top of a pencil is just so cute! It’ll make me happy to be writing with these pencils for sure! Even the stands they’ll be sold on looks yummy as well… Check out the tokidoki Pencil Sharpeners! LOL I want the Adios Bomb version to grace my table!

(You might feel a bit weird sticking a pencil into Mozzarella’s head…)

(The erasers are so sweet! Love the one featuring Mozzarella!)

Apparel-wise, Chicki will also have the upcoming Autumn/Winter collection - which includes jumpers, tees and these tokidoki Jackets - sometime in October. We are not able to show you what the entire jacket looks like, but here are two swatches you can expect from the range:

(Bright, loud and extremely colourful!)

(A familiar favourite! tokidoki Tutti Print)

Hope you’ve enjoyed all these tokidoki visual goodness - us Tokidokizens sure did! Have a good weekend - Buona fine settimana!

We managed to get photos of the official tokidoki store in Milan (thanks to my friend who is in there right now) to share with all of you. At the moment there’s only one official tokidoki store and it’s right in the heart of Italy’s fashion capital. A must-visit for all tokidoki fans if you ever visit Italy!

The front of the store has the usual window display but you can see right through to the back of the store! I think it’s not that big but a comfortable size for all the tokidoki goodies that you can (and will) buy.

A quick glimpse at the mini display unit right in front of the window display. There are toys, skate decks and even the tokidoki + LeSportsac bag in Vacanze print!

(I’m digging the Mozzarella onesie…)

The interior of the store is covered with various tokidoki illustrations and characters from the tattooed Japanese girls to mini standees of Mozzarella, Bruttino, Ciao Ciao etc. Of course it is also filled to the brim with all the available tokidoki European collection apparel.

Besides clothing, you can also find the tokidoki + LeSportsac bags as well as the ‘EU-only‘ bags seen in the photo below - camo print, vinyl print and the Adios star print bags.

Apparel-wise, this is the place for all the European collection items we mentioned previously as well as the gorgeous tokidoki jeans! Check out the inside of this pair that the mannequin is wearing.

They also have a display case of tokidoki watches.

Finally, here’s a glimpse of the first edition Qee bear that came with a tiny Simone Legno figurine - displayed in the store!

(oops, Simone seem to be taking a rest!)

Make sure you pop by the tokidoki store when you visit Milan and remember to share it with us here at Tokidokizens!

Ok, as promised, more exciting stuff as we look at what else new from tokidoki is on Queen’s Couture’s shelves (Check out Part One if you haven’t!). First up - hoodies.

There was a striking peach-pink short-sleeved hoodie with a cute little record on the front, as well as a black one featuring pooches Bastardino and Polpettina. And there’s more to the design (of course). Turn around, and you’ll see that there’s a teardrop cut teasingly positioned in the middle of the back. And when you let down the hood, there are more tokidoki prints on the inside of it.

You’ve got to see this next (windbreaker) jacket for yourself. Pictures just don’t do this justice.

Pink pipings stand out perfectly on the black sheen of the jacket, and adding to the drool factor are the rainbow zips (main zip and two zip pockets on each side of the jacket), which look absolutely awesome! And as if that isn’t enough to make you go grab one immediately, there is a pink rainbow on each inner elbow sleeve that catches attention (but not in a loud way). On the back, there’s an image of Ciao Ciao printed on it.

There’s a white (with orange piping) version of this jacket (which I saw on the tokidoki site) as well, but Queen’s Couture only carries the black version for now (not sure if they will be bringing in the white version). Doesn’t matter which one you choose - ‘cos it’s still gonna look super cool!

In addition to the spaghetti tops we featured yesterday, there are also summer dresses in the same prints - polka dot with Japanese girl and discoteca print.

Last but not least is this really nice button-front halter neck black top with a vinyl record theme. At first glance, you would think it’s a simple top with minimal detail. But look closely, and you’ll be surprised at the little details that make the top so droolworthy!

On the front, there’s a black tokidoki logo subtly embroidered on the top left. A green-orange strip running across the entire top provides a ribbed waist that accentuates the wearer’s figure. On closer inspection reveals yet another nice detail - the top comes with “vinyl record” buttons, like the one printed on the back!

That’s it for now. Stay tuned to Tokidokizens as we bring you the next batch of arrivals as soon as they arrive!

Yes - there are new arrivals at Queen’s Couture again! We made a trip down to the boutique and was greeted by racks and shelves of tokidoki apparel heaven. Seems that the tokidoki collection at Queen’s Couture has never been bigger AND it may just keep getting BIGGER. So keep coming back to our site for the latest tokidoki arrivals in Singapore.

Here’s a look at what just landed on our local shores:

Tees, tees, and more tees! For a quirky touch to your dressing, check out the flashy discoteca and funky glasses twist back tops below.

There’s also the very nice three-quarter sleeved tops with the discoteca and LA/gun designs. Very chic!

And what’s a summer collection without some flesh-baring and heat-defying spaghetti tops? There’s one with the discoteca print, and another in sweet pink with guns all over which basically oozes sweetness and style at the same time.

My favourites are the polka-dotted one with a sultry Japanese girl looking at you from one side of the top, and the black one featuring the very cool-looking Japanese girl with tattoos. Edgy. I like!

Ok, enough for now. More exciting stuff coming up tomorrow. C’ya then!
