Marques'Almeida won the coveted top LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers. Viva denim!

Excited to dive into the summer issue of the Desert Oracle. Especially the article about buying property at tax auctions.

Did you hear that Serial is coming back for two more seasons?! The stories they'll cover are still top secret, but I can't imagine they will be any less addictive or compelling than season one. Luckily this time they're producing two seasons at once so there will be less of a wait for the next installments.

Loving SF-based online shop Lisa Says Gah. Especially their interview series.

Super excited about planning our first trip to Austin for Fun Fun Fun Fest!

What Frida wore. Each piece is amazing. Plus more Fridamania.

Loved what Carol Lim of Opening Ceremony had to say about the fashion industry's responsibility to weave better narratives about women.

Now that you can hashtag emoji on Instagram: a deep dive into emojilytics (aka the semantics of 'lol' 'omg' and 'bae').

I love Brother Vellies' modern takes on traditional African footwear and their dedication to sustainability and partnerships with local artisans.

I've been listening to the Startup podcast pretty obsessively. It's comforting and interesting to know that most everyone's winging it.

Blockshop just released a new collection of hand block printed scarves — loving the squares that come with ceramic conchos.

Checking the mail, waiting for issue two of the Desert Oracle to arrive.

Feeling this patchwork denim.
