dope brands

you should know_fred water

 

you know i'm all about great design. even more rad than the design of this (flask shaped) bottle is that it's BPA and phthalate-free, and thus safe to keep reusing!

earth friendly + great design = i'm a fan

but beware you will get double takes as you're quenching your thirst on the subway

you should know_sweetgreen

who knew salads could be so crave-worthy? i sure didn't. salads were never considered a meal in my book.. until i tried sweetgreen. i've been shocked by recent conversations with people unfamiliar with the brand, so i had to share. 

not only are the salads killer, filling, and stocked with delicious, fresh and LOCAL ingredients, but the brand itself is a movement, one that you just want to feel a part of. OH and check out their commitment to sustainability:

AND they host a yearly music festival (sweetlife) with all-killer-no-filler lineups like this one last year:

AWESOME BRANDING + AWESOME PRODUCT = I'M A FAN

you should know_totokaelo

the minimalist lovers dream.

sometimes i dream about living inside totokaelo. the most perfectly designed store—from aesthetics to content, carrying only the coolest of cool. for those of us outside of seattle, we can get our totokaelo fix from their blog where they share streetstyle, art, mood boards, and so much more. oh & their facebook/instagram feeds are beautiful too—pretty sure i’ve taken a screenshot of almost every image ever posted, all of which can be found in my desktop folder..stalker status

buckets of inspiration, let the drenching begin..
