These Coco Gauff New Balance shoes. I like this colorway as well as the white.

Rare Beauty: Product Images Win

Rare Beauty e-mail newsletter image

More e-commerce shops need to start adopting this way of showing product images on a range of body types so that we, as consumers, can better gauge how the item will work for us. I just wish the team incorporated this into the actual product image gallery instead of via email newsletter.

The first time I noticed this was actually with Moment backpacks. I really appreciated how they showed the bag’s size relative to folks of different heights. A bag that is a perfect fit for someone who is 6 foot is not going to be perfect for someone who is 4’11” – ahem, like me.

Artist: Known — Illustrator for ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ gets long-overdue credit

Cover for the 1976 Dell/Laurel Leaf paperback edition of “A Wrinkle in Time.”

Give this a listen:

A couple years ago, as the writer Sarah Elizabeth was working on her book, “The Art of Fantasy” (out September 12th), a particular illustration kept popping into her mind’s eye. It was the cover for the 1976 Dell/Laurel Leaf paperback edition of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic sci-fi/fantasy novel “A Wrinkle in Time.”

Design Ramble

It used to bug me that 95% of the designs + illustrations that I work on never see the light of day. But now? I appreciate them because there are worse tasks I could be doing….like, updating a spreadsheet or having to sit through meetings that could’ve been an email.

As long as I am doing design concepts and being creative, all is well.

Blank Space

Blank Space is my all-time fave @taylorswift song. When I used to train at a muay thai gym, we all talked about what would be our fight entrance song – not that I’d ever but… – everyone knew Blank Space would be mine.

Work Laptop Tragedy

The keyboard on my work Macbook Air is slowly dying. I’ll actually need to take it in for repair/replacement now. I’ve had to force caps lock on in settings in order to get lower case to work, an extra space gets added after I hit the “n” key, and now I’m getting weird returns/quotation marks/emojis.

3-Ingredient Bagels

Baking a small batch of 3-ingredient bagels. I love these things.

Book Shelf Thirst

These are the book shelves I want — bottom with doors for storage (because who wants to store books at feet level, especially when you have a cat and their fur collects everywhere?) and then sturdy shelves for hardcovers.
