this is, admittedly, a pretty bright and cheerful yellow. and it’s a good thing that it’s cheery, too, because we sure can need every cheerful little element we can get at the time… you haven’t been let in on this really upsetting piece of news to date, and i’m feeling kind of guilty for notContinue reading

one of the things i always loved most about summer is riding a bike, not because you want to go from a to b, but because riding in itself means sheer pleasure. warm wind in your hair is a sensation that in my eyes easily translates to ‘freedom’. we haven’t been very lucky with theContinue reading
