looks we like: april

Easter Season is nearly here, and Deirdre over at DaedalShop crafts intricate and inspired Pysanky eggs. We commissioned one for our “babcia” (grandma) several years ago and were blown away by the creativity and attention to detail that she brought to the project. 

I might be using sharpie to take my egg-dying game to the next level this year…

The dresses of Batsheva Hay are just mesmerizing, and this article gives some background on where this unconventional New York designer is coming from. (If you can make it to the end, there’s a touching homage to motherhood in the closing paragraphs.)

This Atlantic article makes the claim that  “all modern fashion is athleisure.”

The Masters are on this weekend, so here’s a fun look at the evolution of golf fashion, from dapper gentleman to performance- and sponsorship-driven looks.

The weather is warming up and the trees are filled with buds, and I’m longing to throw open the windows and fill every flat surface with vases and piles of flowers…But they always die faster than I can keep up with. With these tips, maybe I can get some fake flowers to buy me indefinite time.
