June 20th, 2012 — Quotes
“The first thing about love is that you have to love yourself. No relationship will work unless you do. You have to be hard on yourself, demanding of yourself, but you have to like yourself. You can’t be needy. It doesn’t matter how much people love you. You cannot be needy. It’s very unattractive and a turnoff. And therefor its a game. That’s why it’s so important to be independent and have an identity outside your family. Because otherwise it can feel like you have no identity. And that is terrible. It’s not becoming, and it’s not pretty, and it makes you insecure, and you run into a hole.” – Diane von Furstenberg

June 20th, 2012 — Dress Up, Things I Love
Olympia Le-Tan, the designer of a delightful line of hand-sewn bags. Handbags and clutches that look like books—does a better combination exist? With their colorful felt appliqué embroideries, liberty print lining, playfully off-kilter stitching and joyful illustrations. Each handmade-felt book-clutch is based on famous covers of lit classics, such as Moby Dick and Cather in the Rye. These are produced in limited runs, so it’d be wise of you to get one while you can.
