  • The King's Speech / late to the party much? We finally watched this last week and I was enthralled. I thought it was stunningly beautiful. The direction, the acting, the story. I was so into it I forgot where I was. Hell, I forgot who I was. I loved it. In the worlds of Leslie…

  • Hopefully you've heard already about the new LINKwithlove intitive. This project was the brainchild of Kal Barteski after one of her rad art pieces was hijacked & misused too many times to count.

  • Paper Source camera rubber stamp, R+H one day at a time notepads, Herschel Supply Co. backpack, Pantone coffee mug, Sunday Afternoons running cap, cb2 facet vase, cb2 paint palette pillow, Sam Edelman wedge sandal. Quite the random little LOVE list but that's what sort of mood I'm in.
