Tour Rajiv Surendra’s NYC Apartment

If you are a creative, or a maker in any sense, you will adore this video — this is a dive into Rajiv’s (yes, from Mean Girls - Kevin G) apartment, where he has filled his home with lovely, intentional, high quality art, crafts, and functional items. I love his passion for making, and his slow, intentional approach to living. I love how much he loves learning, his bit of sass, and his invitation to make mistakes along the way. This video fills me to the brim with inspiration, and I start itching to make things.

He recently announced his new show on Discovery+ - “Homeboy.” I can’t wait to watch this!

Olli Ella basket bags

Basket bags always have and always will be a timeless closet staple. Timeless for all closets, and something that will always be essentially “me” in my style. Basket bags add casualness + fun / whimsy + natural texture + summer vibes to any outfit, while remaining a neutral, i.e matches anything. Super versatile. I’ve yet to meet a basket bag I didn’t like, but when I saw these, I immediately fell in love. It was challenging to pick a favorite - the tiny house, the shell, the acorn! But ultimately, I chose the mushroom house, because I thought it was the most whimsical and special. No regrets. Also, Olli Ella is B Corps certified, so it’s an indulgence you can feel double good about.

I have a thing for tiny things. There is something really incredible about the craftsmanship of the real thing, but in miniature form. It combines cuteness with craftsmanship. I especially love this trend of creating fairy houses, tiny houses, or miniature bookshelf nooks - taking an unused space, and add a touch of unexpected magic. The Sorry Girls, and Rachel Maksy created equally wonderful versions of these magical miniature spaces.
