I recently discovered Ink and Namu on Etsy- a Los Angeles based studio. I love their typography-heavy, minimalist designs and I’m always a sucker for a coffee mug with a message!

Today I’m sharing a favorite Etsy shop of mine with you- Three Potato Four.  As they describe,

In 2007, we began Three Potato Four through our love of found objects. We’re collectors, and to us, all products and belongings tell a story. We live by stories and we shop for stories. Through the years of buying and selling found vintage pieces, we were inspired to take some of these amazing objects and make them again in a new way for today.

A week or so ago I stumbled upon this article on The Cut on these previous unseen photos of Marilyn Monroe. These photos were discovered by the wife of photographer Andre de Dienes, who had cast Marilyn for an experimental nude project in 1945. 19-year-old Marilyn never did pose nude, but the images capture a vulnerability not often seen in photos of Monroe. The pho’s were shot on Malibu and Long Island beach trips, and using a car headlight in a Beverly Hills valley to light Monroe’s face, creating a sometimes surreal, and certainly experimental quality. Enjoy! And, if you’re in New York, these images are currently on view at the Steven Kasher Gallery. Enjoy!

As described by it’s founders, Archer and Olive is,

“A darling stationery boutique. Archer and Olive is the feeling of running your hands across 38pt savory cotton, double thick paper. We are the hand written love letter on personalized stationery. We are the reason for the envy amongst your friends because your baby shower invitations are so perfect, so unique and so you. We are the card you decided to frame instead of mailing to a friend. We are the wedding invitations you’ve always dreamed about, the smell of freshly pressed paper, and the first page of a new journal. Archer and Olive is darling stationery design in Austin, Texas.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about Gucci lately- ever since I caught a glimpse of their SS16 during fashion week. This past season pretty much encapsulated the way I want to dress in my dreams, only I didn’t realize it until I saw it. Below are some of my selects from their SS16 Advertising Campaign.  As credited on their site: Shot by Glen Luchford, the artistic and brutalist nature of this city contrasts against the dreamy romance of Alessandro Michele’s collections.

Glitch Art is something I heard about ages ago, and had kinda forgotten about until a couple of weeks ago– when I was interviewing a designer who loved Glitch Art and had several of her own experiments in her portfolio. I asked her about it, and how to do it, and it’s really simple. For those of you who don’t know, and want to experiment: Find an image you like, drag it into text edit, and then start removing lines of code. Save the image and then open it open again… and there’s your Glitch Art! Of course I experimented for hours after… so fun! Below is an image I played around with (original and glitch).
