Design

Home is more than a place—it’s a feeling. We’re inspired by spaces that feel grounded and welcoming, warm and minimal. Our design approach leans into the wabi-sabi beauty of the imperfect, seeking a deep connection with the objects we bring into our homes.

The Essence of Mary Lou

A few months back we received an email from a reader in Kansas City named Kelly. She wrote to us saying that her mother (and longtime reader of our site) Mary Lou Fickel would be turning 77 years old on Monday, October 30th. Mary Lou has always loved our Mono Monday series and she even […]

Jenni Kayne Home is Here (and we’re obsessed) + a giveaway

If there’s anything we’re more obsessed with than Jenni Kayne’s minimalist clothing, it’s stalking the designer’s personal property online.

Romy and Michele Costumes

When we were brainstorming this year’s collection of Cult Classic Costume Ideas, Chanel brought up this little 90’s gem and everyone was instantly on board. Even though Kristen Kilpatrick was slated to shoot the story, we pretty much had to have her model alongside our resident fitness expert Marnie Duncan of Mod Fitness.
