🎿 90s Ski Wear
I guess inspired by the Winter Olympics, Ski Patrol (not to be confused with Ski School) was on the other night, and I became obsessed with 90s ski jackets. This vintage store looks promising. I can't decide if I'm too late for this winter or just in time for some late season deals.
Shitty images, I know. Search: "90s ski wear"
🍊 70s Office Aesthetic
I feel like the world is poised for a fresh take on this one. Not office related, but Soft Electronics is a great resource all around, and has a lot of this vibe. Love the SEB stuff.
🤓 IRL Research
Reference libraries are back ya'll. There's one in NY called Library180. And one in NOLA called Room for Reading. Sit, flip through a magazine and find some inspiration that everyone with Google doesn't already have. Are there others? Let me know! I'm also taking suggestions for magazine subscriptions.
🔪 Little Tykes Vibes
Works by Andrew Sahlstrom as Shampoooty called Kids Toys, Adult Issues that "explores the tension between childhood innocence and the darker realities of adulthood. By placing nostalgia and play against themes of grief, addiction, mortality, sexuality, and violence, these works lift the veil of innocence and expose the often unmentioned truths that lie beneath, inviting viewers to confront the uneasy overlap between comfort and consequence—gentle, familiar, visceral reminders of what we once held dear and what we’ve since learned to endure."
I remember that turtle sandbox sooooo well.
🦉 Wise Words
I'm going to say that Recho Omondi is the best interviewer out there. And here are some wise words from JT about breaking old habits. Link if the embed doesn't show.
