Pure Inspiration: Mica Hendricks & Her Four Year Old Make Beautiful Collaborations
Maybe you’ve seen this already. A few weeks ago it seems to have made quite the splash on the Internet, but I am just a little too wrapped up in my own mind at the moment to stay abreast of all the good things the Internet has to offer lately.

Do You Want To Freak Out? Moorea Seal Store: Like Crack For My Eyeballs
I think I’ve kind of acknowledged my girl-crush on my friend Moorea before. And I’m not one of these people that bandies about with the term girl-crush. I’m pretty sure that if you search my archives you’ll find it used exactly zero times. But Moorea? Everything she does is just so damn…cool. To start, she designs jewelry like this: And… Read more →
