one, two, three: this happened/this week.

one. I'm REAL EXCITED to watch Behind the Candelabra this weekend. REAL. REAL. EXCITED.

two. My other weekend to-dos? Hang with ALL my friends; go to the Open Studios at 52 O. Only one of those is open to the public. (via Refinery29)

three. I somehow missed my BHLDN teepee at both Apartment Therapy and at Pearl Lowe's Vintage Home last month? An enormous THANK YOU to both sites; while I'd love to say I played it cool when I found out my reaction was totally all whaaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaAAAAAaaAAAAAAaaat????!!!! But yeah. Other than that I was all like, K, COOL.

MANY thanks to Refinery29 DC for featuring the Violet x Panda Head Spring/Summer lookbook yesterday! Shot by WWD's Lexie Moreland and full of gorgeous, smiling SUMMER BABES (wearing some truly excellent SUMMER CLOTHES), I'm just SO stoked on the collaboration.
If you haven't checked it out you can head over to BYT for an exclusive look at the full set, and thanks again to R29 for picking up what we're putting down!

Another little look at Amber Byrne Mahoney's spread for Worn Magazine's just-launched fifth issue (this time sans apple)! SMOKE BOMBS. I could not love this more.

and Michael Andrade's super-set from last week's launch party at Black Whiskey.

and YOWZA - amazing feature at Need Supply today, with lots of dreamy Polaroids (and HOT APPLE ACTION) from the shoot as well!

white reindeer.

We caught White Reindeer this weekend at the Charles Theater in Baltimore (as part of the Maryland Film Festival); weird and sad and funny (in all the right ways), I can honestly say that the only other Christmas movie I've enjoyed this much in MAY is Home Alone (and that is saying A LOT).

A fave from the Pinterest board for an upcoming MENSWEAR project I'm working on with my friends at MUTINY DC - more (BEARDED-GOODNESS) soon!

Violet x Panda Head: Spring/Summer!

THRILLED to be releasing the second, Spring/Summer half of the Violet Boutique x Panda Head loobook today at BYT! Photographed by the amazing Lexie Moreland and creative directed by Violet's Julie Egermayer, we at Panda Head Magazine had an absolute blast working on both portions of this project.
Shot on location at Comet Ping Pong and featuring all sorts of lush, warm-weather, GIRL'S NIGHT OUT VIBEZ, you can kick it over to Brightest Young Things to check out the spread in its entirety. I'm infinitely proud of everyone's hard work - please see the credits list below for all the folks I'd work with again and again and again.

A generous host-gift from our now-in-Portland-friends Holly and Tom, it was a VERY SAD DAY when we reached the bottom of the bag of Heart Coffee.
