Business + Cards

Eco-friendly and super nifty- check out Fischer Portugal's rubber stamp. Need to hand out a business card but ran out of stock? Never fear. Take out your stamp, grab the nearest scrap of paper and-- BAM-- networking made quick, easy and highly impressive. Who wouldn't remember you after that?

I'M intrigued.

Textile + Design

I am taking a textile studio this semester, and what designer would immediately come to mind other than the one the only Mary Kantrantzou. She truly embodies the cutting edge of textile design and understands the impact prints are capable of having. If only such prints were more accessible to us plebeians... OH WAIT. they will be. Mary is creating a 14-piece collection for Topshop which should hit stores this coming February. WAHOO.

Eye + Lashes

So recently I've taken to wearing fake eyelashes. Not everyday, mind you, but on occasions that I'm looking for a little more lash to bat. Due to this current fad, I've had several friends ask me for a tutorial on my technique. Since I'm lacking said "technique", I've decided to share this helpful video with you. Enjoy! And if you've never tried them, I recommend it! You don't have to go all niki minaj on it. Or you can....

Street + Style

Looking for a good Street Style focused on the male aesthetic? 

Check out GQ's Men's Street Style Photography.

 If nothing else, it doubles as a gold mine for eye candy...

cookie + boy

Check out cookieboy, an incredibly creative and artistic bakery that outputs delicious baked goods like nobody's business. I was going to give you more information on them, but the website is in Japanese....

 imagine eating a camera! ludicrous!

I'M + BACKKK

HELLO LOVELIES. 

So I am finally back from a wonderfully adventurous break. After spending Christmas in Switzerland (no snow, sadly), my parents surprised us with an amazing trip! We went to Liechtenstein, Finland, Estonia, Norway and Sweden! It was positively perfect. Fireworks in Oslo for New Years was magical. We ended the holiday in England visiting my beloved grandparents and now I'm back and boy do I have a treat for you.

My fabulous friend Melanie sent me this SPECTACULAR blog. I'm not entirely sure how I haven't seen it before, but now that I have, I can't take my eyes off of it.

Glitterature readers, meet For The Love Of Sequins. Genius.

call me obsessed.

thanks melanie.
