Hi friends,
there were a few requests from the community to share their projects - so I’ll spread some love below.
For my next life, I wish to be able to divide myself in half. So much to see and do, always so little time. While experiencing some post-New York trip nostalgia, I discovered the latest campaign by denim label Still Here, with an amazing cast of female creatives I follow on IG. Can we just all wear jeans and a white T-shirt forever?
Stay healthy 🍎
