Open Culture

Lee | December 7th, 2012

The internet is getting a little boring, right? I might be alone here, but sites from news sources to Facebook are bent on showing you the highlights, and just the highlights. I have a few blogs that I love, but recently I’ve been completely in love with Open Culture, a website that is a clearing house for all things inspiring, informational, and importantly FREE, on the web.

Ode to the Far Rockaways

Lee | December 6th, 2012

This summer I fell in love with one of the farthest flung neighborhoods of New York City, the Far Rockaways.  I have always maintained that NYC would hem me in too much to want to live there, but as I told my friend when we were there “I could do this.” Sadly, just a couple months later the Rockaways suffered some of the most severe damage from hurricane Sandy.

Advanced Style

Lee | December 6th, 2012

I take my style cues from anyone over seventy years of age. I figure anyone who has been dressing themselves four decades longer than I have knows a thing or two more about style, comfort, and individuality than I do.  So one of my favorite fashion blogs to scroll through for ideas is Advanced Style.

Of A Kind

Lee | September 12th, 2012

Bracelet by Nevil

I love unusual, smartly designed, and lovingly made clothes. I’d prefer to buy less and buy better. Read More

Time for Deep Time

Lee | September 11th, 2012

Longtime favorite Austin band Yellow Fever now goes by the oh-so-enigmatic name Deep Time. With this new name they’re just as oh-so-amazing as ever. Just two tousle-haired people make the most lovely and unlikely pop songs you’ve ever done heard.

World Traveler, Mother, Purveyor of Fine Goods

Lee | September 10th, 2012

From The Glow

I happened to stumble into Maryam Nassir Zadeh’s boutique in New York after a rainstorm forced me to find shelter. Read More

Ode to a Sneaker

Lee | September 7th, 2012

This is an ode to an unlikely love. I used to hate thee, New Balance. You were the shoes my dad wore exclusively, to church, to school plays, to the beach, to wander around the house in his underwear. How I hated you.

Coming Attractions: Books

Lee | September 5th, 2012

From Naomi and the Horse Flavored T-Shirt trailer.

“We’re not dead yet!” said The Novel. It’s true. I read. My friends read. Young Americans are still reading. But the question lies in how to get people interested in new novels, how to catch their attention in the world of social media and digital tethering. Read More

A Good Pair of Shoes

Lee | August 13th, 2012



There are those few certain purveryors of goods that I internet stalk once every couple months, drool over, and then convince myself that student loans come first. But I’ve been thinking more and more about the worthiness of certain items for a little more cash for a lot longer life. Read More

Social Sharing for Art Lovers

Lee | August 6th, 2012

“Hands with Money, Hands with Rope, and Observer” John Badessari

Social networking has come to the world of art collecting, or if you’re just a poor artist like me, art stalking. Read More

Thinkin Bout You, Frank Ocean

Lee | August 3rd, 2012

I haven’t fallen for an album like this in quite sometime, but I am totally crushed out over Frank Ocean’s debut record, channel ORANGE. Read More

Go To Public School

Lee | March 6th, 2012
What is Public School? Well I gather it’s some kind of creative brain trust where individual artists and designers work together and separately to bust out some of the finest looking content I’ve seen around these parts lately.  They’ve designed dozens of ads, posters, photo editorial, and maintain a consistently awesome blog.

Back to School Fashion

Fashion for me is far from brand oriented. I’m mostly interested in the old, the discarded, or the homemade. Read More

Introducing Miss Banks

Lee | March 5th, 2012

From Azealia's Facebook profile.

Azealia Banks better come out with an album soon because I have pretty much played to death the five tracks of hers I’ve got because they’re so dang good.  Read More

Blog Roll

Lee | February 6th, 2012

I read (or at least scroll through) a ton of blogs, and I realized it’s time to give some cred to the best of these, for without them I’m be a sorrowfully uninformed and uninteresting person. Most of these are hardly obscure, but there are still many who haven’t stumbled across their amazingness. Read More
