Trending: Graphic Tees

God Bless This Hot Mess // Holiday // Party On Wayne

Graphic tees are definitely a trend, and have been since about 1999. We just can’t seem to shake our affinity for pithy statements and bold declarations emblazoned on our chests. And when they’re this amazing, why should we even try??

This Shit is Bananas // This Girl Loves Her Dog // USA Drinking Team

Pluto // Oh My God Becky // Notorious R.B.G.

DAAME

Designing to make an impact in the world is a noble cause, and it’s exactly what DAAME is attempting to do. Their bags – a mini cross body/fanny pack, a 13″ laptop tote, and a 15″ laptop tote – are made with women on the go in mind. Each piece is handcrafted in the USA and with high quality Italian leather and a specially engineered Japanese lining. You can feel good making a DAAME purchase because 5% of all profits go towards providing long-term services and education for girls in impoverished circumstances.

Happy Weekend

01/ A giant Ophelia painted atop a boat floats down the River Lee in East London.
02/ Tom Blachford‘s tranquil photos of the ocean are the next best thing to being there.
03/ Time is Dancing is a clock has hands that are read as different ballet poses.
04/ Lightovo’s Milo Lamp also acts as a greenhouse!
05/ Exobiotanica sent a series of delicate plants into the stratosphere.
06/ Anatomical undies… because why not?
07/ Check out Wink Space, an immersive kaleidoscopic mirror tunnel in a shipping container.

09/ The Tree of 40 Fruits does exist! (But this is Photoshopped.)

Contour Key Rings

I’m crazy about these Contour Key Rings from Karl Zahn and Areaware. These 4×4″ minimalist beauties add a little interest to the otherwise boring task of key holding. (I also wouldn’t mind wearing three of the four as bracelets!)

RillRill

When it comes down to it, the jewelry I wear is very minimal. And my favorite pieces to throw on are almost always long and simple statement necklaces. These marble and copper pieces from RillRill are strung on leather cord and finished with a simple metal clasp, and in my opinion the perfect finishing touch for jeans or a ball gown.

Georgie Cummings

Georgie Cummings‘ Symmetry Collection is quite stunning, don’t you think? The metallic pattern is hand-painted by Georgie herself and most pieces are available with the print or plain. I can imagine using these little circle coin purses for their intended purpose or to hold small pieces of jewelry while traveling. And the pretty neutrals of all of Georgie’s pieces would work seamlessly with most wardrobes (i.e. MINE). Check out all of her pieces in her Etsy shop.

Fortune

There’s something to be said about being exclusive. Kim Dulaney’s fortune jewelry is handmade in Brooklyn from hard to find and/or vintage materials, which means there are usually only one to four of each design available. Some of Kim’s favorite materials include vintage sequins, jasper stones, 14k gold fill chains, and african ancient brass beads. And the kicker? fortune’s necklaces, bracelets, and earrings are totally affordable – check out the Etsy shop.

04/ Summer is here full-force in the south, and I think it calls for these wearable ice cubes.

07/ Check out Bottled Food and see just how gross processed food really is.
