As we enter a new year, new desires come into view. With a new month and a brand new catalog, a new hotlist has been born. I always love creating a hotlist each month, whether it’s to do with fashion, work, or my lifestyle. I put things in a collage that I admire and desire and then see if I can achieve them.
Month: January 2013
Playlist: Songs For Bikes
Inspired by our January catalog and its bicycle theme, I originally set out to create a playlist of songs about bikes.

We have a new graphic design assistant on our team and she did these gorgeous watercolor illustrations of some of the images from our January catalog! We were so amazed we had to share them.

How To Cleanse Your Home
Over the holidays I was given a gift from Kim Krans from The Wild Unknown. As soon as I opened the box the smell refreshed the air around me. Inside was a bundle of wild harvested black sage, Mexican sage, juniper, lavender, lemon verbena, jasmine, lupine, cedar, breath of heaven, and roses. Hanging delicately from a tie dyed ribbon was this quote:
