There Is A Girl In New York City Who Calls Herself The Human Trampoline

Emma Cassi's awesomely unique handmade jewelry.

Adorable dress from Etsy shop Lamixx.

I love me some metallics: a stunning bag from J. Crew.

A beautiful, delicate necklace from Cursive Design.  

Lovely "hope" charm from Lucky Life.

I think this woman, left, will be one of my style inspirations for summer....(sans cigarette, of course).

Jezebel: the tyranny of age-related goals.  I relate to this much more than I would like.

Addressing police brutality.

From Adidas, free urban art guide to Berlin.

Love these practical yet stylish window films.

A new take on "slums": "Sure, they’re dangerous, but the world’s slums can teach urban planners a lot, an article says, as “walkable, high-density” places where housing and commerce mingle and people look out for each other, have lower birth rates than rural areas, and build structures from 'materials that would otherwise be piling up in landfills.'"  The NYTimes on the Boston Globe.

“What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?” - Henry Miller
