Hate to say but you could use a blow out (just kidding, your hair looks fabulous.) Drybar - a blow dry bar, opened recently in lovely Brentwood, California. Smart idea. Great identity. Perfect location.
Shout out to Alli & Cameron Webb! #thumbsup
Masamichi Katayama is the divine genius behind many of the most innovative retails spaces that exist. It comes as no surprise that his web site exudes the same brillance.
New favorite website brought to you by design studio Young. Because if you don’t want to learn something new everyday, you obviously never watched Reading Rainbow growing up. And I’m sorry.
Holy shit, those crazy MIT kids are at it again. Enter your name and it searches the internet to create your online identity. Even tho some data was irrelevant, Apples and Owls ended up with some interesting categories. Thank you Aaron Zinman for this installation.
I’m impressed by how progressive guerilla/public installations have become these days. I always have fancied the knitted tree branch cozies from artist Carol Hummel and paste-ups are classic, but guerilla gardening by Eric Cheung and Sean Martindale looks to be the diamond in the dark. They take existing wheatpasted billboards and create folded pockets that are used as pots for plants. This is too good not to reblog.

On foggy days I tend to drink Chai tea while afternoons are for Earl Grey with a dash of milk. Sara Lai’s got a new flavor, Lomo tea. Snapshots taken from her travels and put into handsewn tea bags, the only seeping done will be in memories. Cute idea though.
Sure, its not often Apples & Owls has food posts, but considering I can barely breathe out of one nostril and staring at this apple tart is causing me a great deal of frustration, I feel it is necessary to work through my issues. However, I can appreciate the lovely photography all taken from her iPhone, even with malfunctioning olfactions. See more here.
Souvenir press-a-penny machine meets talented designers / illustrators / artists. (Above: Marian Bantjes) Created by Motherbrand, part of the proceeds go to Sketch, a non-profit for Toronto’s art studio for street youth. But since the only machine is in Toronto, it may cost a pretty penny to get your pretty penny.
I know what you’re thinking. Post-its and stop motion. Seen. It. Done. Before. Well, Bang-Yao Liu, a recent grad from Savannah College of Art and Design just pwnd all ya’ll.
