From Good Life Daily: Omoi for Me (and Him)
Ever since we bought a house, I promised my fiancé I would run big purchases by him. After all, “we have a mortgage now.” Meaning: No more returning from lunch hour, arms brimming with overflowing shopping bags. No more nonchalant swipes of the plastic. No more $300 “impulse buys.” Sigh. How am I, shopper extraordinaire, supposed to stop shopping?
Well, I’ve found a way to curb my insatiable purchasing appetite without risking one of those boring “finance” discussions he likes to have every once in a while: Shop for him. Because, really, he can’t get angry when I come home laden with gifts for him. Right. So on to Omoi (pronounced oh-moe-ee), a funky-fab shop that brings Japanese street-style to our very own Pine Street.
Owner Liz Sieber stocks lines for guys (and gals!) including ZenBunni, UZI, Seibei and WeSC — the company who made this incredibly lightweight Philibert sweater (pictured) — perfect for chilly summer nights, sitting outside in the backyard of our new house.
