I'M LOVING THIS...
LADY: The Alison Show! Especially her Instagram, where she posts the most amazingly rad IG videos of her solo dance parties (check the hashtag #thealisondanceshow). She dresses pink yard flamingos as mummies for Halloween, wears t-shirts that say "I'm a unicorn," throws theme parties, and encourages people to be awesome. So basically, she's the coolest.
FONT: Salome, especially for headline and display uses. It's gorgeous and I'm obsessed. As a designer, I've come to vastly prefer serif fonts over the past few years, and it's giving me a sort of graphic designer existential crisis. What does it say about me that I now like serif fonts so much?!
ALBUM: Ben Howard's new album, I Forgot Where We Were. He's so great, and it's a perfect fall album. Just go listen.

WEBSITE: Skillshare. I've mentioned this learning site for creators previously as a good way to learn the basics of InDesign for Project Life, but they have since changed their payment structure, and I hadn't explored the new options until now. Instead of buying individual classes at $15-20 a piece, you now purchase a monthly membership for $9.95 (and the first week is free). I LOVE this, because I can take part in as many classes as I want for an even lower cost. There are classes for everything from design programs to small business marketing to calligraphy to iPhone photography. I've taken part in several over the past few weeks, and I'm loving the ability to dabble in a lot of topics. Disclosure: the link above is my affiliate link, meaning I do get a small credit if you sign up through it. Thank you if you choose to do that! :)
BLOG: The Mindy Project Style. I don't watch the show regularly, but every time I do, I admire Mindy's outfits. They're not at all my style, but I love how she pulls them off nonetheless. I think I read somewhere that Mindy Kaling herself picks out the clothes she wears on the show. This blog gathers all of the outfits from the show with sources and links, and I have a feeling that a few of you readers might find that useful! :)

ACCESSORY: Square-patterned Zara scarf. This was one of my pre-travel purchases. I originally saw it on the Youtuber HelloOctoberxo, and I fell in love with the pattern and its neutral color scheme, which goes with my capsule wardrobe. It's huge, but sometimes that's just what you need. It doubled as a blanket for me on the airplane.
APP: SKRWT. I think this app is pronounced "screw it," and it is a iPhone photo editing app that helps fix lens distortion and bad angles. This is particularly useful if you like to take pictures of architecture and other outdoor shots because you can fix the distortion that occurs if you camera isn't parallel to your subject. I downloaded a different one while we were in Europe to fix this kind of skewering, and it wasn't nearly as good as this app, which I just discovered recently.
PODCAST: Serial! Do I even need to recommend this? Based on my informal observation of social media, it seems like everyone and their brother and their brother's mom is already hooked. So, if you're not listening yet, jump on it. It's addicting. And fascinating.
