Cultivating mindful living.

My ring game has been quite minimal as of late. Two barely there, thread thin, gold bands have adorned my fingers for almost a year. It wasn’t until I saw this image via xkismet that I had the urge to wear chunky rings again. No...

We woke up to the sound of the steam running through our radiators this morning, which only means one thing… it’s cold outside. There’s nothing more luxurious than wrapping yourself in head to toe knits when the temperatures drop. This editorial from i-D Magazine’s...

It’s no secret that Jil Sander is one of my favorite designers. Now that I look back on the +J collections that were designed for Uniqlo, I ask myself “Why didn’t I buy more pieces from those collections?” The cuts were perfectly fit, the fabrics...
