I got a comment from a reader asking for the name of the font I use for the banner on my personal blog, EDE. The font is called Blu, a multi-layered font that looks three-dimensional and ribbony.

Tinctorial Textiles. I’m inspired by the soft hues of these overlapping translucent panels. Her simple outfit (NB kicks and black tights) is pretty cool, too. (↬This is Paper) ]]>

Each of these little bottles has one top that serves two containers of nail polish. On one end is the base color and the other is an accent color for nail art. I have a lot of nail polish, but these two bottles were so cute, I bought them anyway. They look like test tubes [...] ]]>
