OK, LET'S MAKE A MOVEMENT TODAY!

This is one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen. I love TED, man. It restores my faith in humanity.

BEAUTIFUL, DREAMY, MAGICAL


These beautiful prints by Decoy Lab remind me so much of Goldfrapp's most recent album... dreamy, soft, magical, memories.

SUMMER MUSIC: BEACH HOUSE





I've been relying on Beach House lately to slow down and relax (New York's pulse is definitely anxiety-producing if you're not careful to slow down here and there). Love the haunting, beautiful vocals.

THE QUEST FOR GREEN SHOES




Despite the wonderful, positive sea change happening with green fashion, I've only come across 1 company making well designed, affordable green shoes for mass market close to the Cradle to Cradle standards, and that's Zaha Hadid's Melissa Shoes. Melissas are infinitely recyclable, non-toxic, ethically manufactured, and look AWESOME. Though Keds is making an effort, using 20% recycled rubber in your shoe soles is just making a shoe"less bad", and not taking it far enough. Veja makes cool sneakers as well, but they still use leather, which I can't consider green. The quest continues...

TRIANGLE KEEPSAKE


I love the idea of a locket or personal keepsake, or just a pendant that's infinitely customizable. It'd be beautiful with a feather, snakeskin pattern, or butterfly wing. by GemSaloon

STELLAR EMBROIDERY


Brooklyn's night sky isn't exactly full of stars, so I love anything that reminds me of a starry night sky. By MinatureRhino.
