I'll be closing the online store for a bit in order to catch up on back-logged orders and work on some new projects. If you have already placed an order, it will be made and sent within the normal 2-week production time. I will post when the store has opened up again (mid March), so please check back.

MADAME FIGARO
Check out Madame Figaro - it's a such a cool magazine! I'm excited for a little mention in it.

LUNCH FROM THE WOODS
At the edge of the clearing, there's a break in the bushes and a hidden path that leads to a secret canyon filled with mushrooms.
The head of the path is guarded by a thick crop of Stinging Nettle. The nettles burn something terrible when they brush against my skin and the pain lingers for days. Today I'm prepared with gloves and long sleeves and pants.
Cooking the nettles destroys the stinging properties and converts the plant into a delicious and highly nutritious thing to eat.
Down in the canyon, there are Chantrelles everywhere!
Because of the heavy amount of rain lately, many of the mushrooms are waterlogged too wet to take.
The biggest one. He's got a few warts and he's past his prime so we leave him here.
Here's our morning's pick - Nettles and Chantrelles - and now we'll make a little lunch.
Mushrooms cleaned and laid out to dry.
I use tongs to handle the nettles and scissors to trim them.
Garlic, shallot, and chantrelles.
The nettles go into a pot of boiling water for a few minutes. The stingers are still intact when cooked but are no longer active.
Just a little butter, salt, and pepper.
A proper lunch is not complete without a glass of wine.
There is something very satisfying about cooking food that you have found yourself. When I get sick of regular life, maybe I'll just move off the grid for a while and live off berries and mushrooms and all the other good things out there too eat.

CREATURES OF THE WIND
More than anything else, I love the set and styling of these photos. Is that a big rope wrapped in tin foil? With paper tassels hanging from it? And paper shreds on the floor that look like rose petals? I'm not really sure what everything is but I love the scene.

DON'T FORGET TO EAT SOMETHING
I know you're like 13 yrs old and haven't gotten a chance to grow old and fat yet, but please eat something, anything. Even just some cereal or something. Or is it a theme? Because that bike looks pretty skeletal, too. 
Not into this at all. I'm gonna go get some lunch now.

SHROOMIN'
It's been raining a lot lately, which means it's time to go mushroom hunting. Lucky for me, Chantrelles conveniently grow in abundance just outside our backdoor.
Just coming up out of the ground.
Empty basket but not for long.
Satanic mushrooms
Dayglow shrooms in mud
Spongy guys. You can eat these but must cook off a ton of water first.
Baby shroom chillin in a pine cone.
We got our dinner for tonight.
I've been eating them for days and still ready for more...

F-YA
Thank God some people in this world still have a sense of humor when it comes to fashion. Big props to this gal, who decided it would be fun to dress like cotton candy had sex with a My-Little-Pony. All you Rick Owens-clad morbid fashion slaves can bite my ___. I'm really not a hater, I just greatly appreciate something a little different every now and then. HEL LOOKS photo.
GOOD LOOKER
I love photos of serious kids wearing strange, mismatched outfits. If other toddlers dressed half this cool, the world would be a better place. Satorialist photo.
METAL ON METAL
These welded clutches by Anndra Neen are super cool and reminded me of the bag my friend Maya brought to our Christmas dinner, seen HERE.
Anndra Neen is a line of jewelry and accessories designed by sisters Phoebe and Annette Stephens from Mexico City. I find the chunky metal and exposed rough welds to be quite interesting compared to most other stuff out there in world of accessories/jewelry. 
And they have really cool matching striped ponchos. Photos from ASVOF and Refinery29.
