The heat index is obviously affecting my lemmings, but wouldn't it be nice to have a pineapple fan sprayed with Ananas Fizz to wave around? This leather & wood model from Pubumésu is spendy ($137) and the spray would probably stain the leather, but it's a nice thought. (Also lemmable, the small purple octopus fan and the pink & violet peony fan.)
From factory floors to dance floors
Mr. Miyake’s designs appeared everywhere from factory floors — he designed a uniform for workers at the Japanese electronics giant Sony — to dance floors. His insistence that clothing was a form of design was considered avant-garde in the early years of his career, and he had notable collaborations with photographers and architects. His designs found their way onto the 1982 cover of Artforum — unheard-of for a fashion designer at the time— and into the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The daily lemming
Because it's hot out there: "Cool off with your favourite scent infused Hand Fan. Comes with a fragrance sample of your choice. Just let us know which fragrance you want and we will add it." From Swedish brand Cra-yon, shown in Bottega Green (also available in CEO Pink); €29.
Lucky No. 5
A bit off topic but perhaps of interest to No. 5 fans: new items from Chanel's fine jewelry collection.
The daily lemming
I am not prepared to spend $15 for the opportunity, but I would sure like to try one (or maybe two) of the Medjool Dates, Pecans, Himalayan Salt Bars from Spring & Mulberry ("Crunchy, chewy, salty, and sweet, this bar brings together buttery, slow-roasted pecans and caramelly Medjool dates for a toothsome mix that’s hard to stop munching.").
