Hot on the heels of our mention of Norway's Pepper, someone suggested Freudian Kicks, a fine indie shop in Oslo. The shop mixes hip Scandinavian labels with some intriguing European names.

We loved Freudian Kicks' excellent selection of Gaspard Yurkievich, including men's stuff that we hadn't seen anywhere else before.

Then there's the sneakers by Swedish label Sneaky Steve. While we're now pretty sure we've seen over 43,200 pairs of leather men's hightops, we still couldn't resist the label's simple, relatively affordable version.

And finally if you have been following along long enough you know we love us a nice print T-shirt, so we were delighted to find Norway's own Daonefootedgoose, a tiny T-shirt operation doing interesting and artful prints.

By the way, in case you're having trouble converting Norwegian Kroner to dollars or haven't figured out that "Vis Alle" mean "View All", our suggester tells us that a English version of their site will debut later this year (yeah, yeah, we'll let you know when it's up).

Comme des Garcons' guerilla stores are meant to be temporary experiments in avant-garde retail. But in the case of the very first guerilla store that opened in Berlin in 2004 the experiment didn't stop when CdG left town. The organizers of the store continued the operation, reincarnated as Lil Shop. Lil Shop sells vintage Comme des Garcons and Junya Watanbe in addition to CdG accessories, selections from the current season, and various other accessories. The shop resigned their site late last year, and now offers online shopping.

(These awesome necklaces are exclusive to Lil Shop)

The 15th edition of Slow and Steady Wins the Race was "shoe", a study of a few basic styles of women's shoes. Pieces from the edition have finally made their way to Creatures of Comfort, Hollywood Trading Company and Ooga Booga, among other stores. The shoes are all around $100-125.
