good morning ma loves and welcome to yet another humid hot salty day (or at least that's the case in NYC).
I bring you peace AND this month's sketchbook tour for your eyes only. I'm not going to lie, this is kind of a short one! During the last bit of May (and so far June) I've been working super hard on the green card and this process has been taking up my mind and soul.
I hope you like it nonetheless! I've been enjoying drawing people and their outfits A LOT, specially fro...

hello ma loooves, good morning!
I hope you're all having a lovely week so far. Lou and I have been sweating our eyes out (we're going through a heat-wave in NYC) and taking lots of pictures for the store! We have a new t-shirt launch coming up on June 28th and we can't wait to show you the new stuuuufff!
Cool (or should I say boiling hot?) things are happening this month here!

Hence, I couldn't the take pictures for this month's tour!
