Current Finds No.53

Summer reading: Wrong Answer, a book shop dealing in special design and art forward books and ephemera, just opened within the USM shop.

Collecting: I have had this picture (third slide) on mood boards for years, I love how Paul Smith incorporates his collections at home in such an unfussy way.

For headphones: I enjoy listening to interview format podcasts like Time Sensitive and The Interview while out on long runs.

Words: the ones Pieter Mueller would give to his younger self. 

Back to school: beautiful paper goods from a shop in Paris. 


To wear: a bracelet to take the feel of summer with you throughout the year

To eat: I have to go to Bistro Ha, a French-Vietnamese spot on the Lower East Side.

A color combination: this pairing on a daybed feels so good to me.

Exhibition: I am such a fan of Taryn Simon and am looking forward to her upcoming show at The Guggenheim.
