I don't know about y'all but I had a *very* productive week, mainly fueled by matcha. This isn't a sale pitch but I was influenced by a TikToker whose daily matcha-making routine has found its way to my FYP. I know y'all know who I'm talking about!

Friends, as you know we rarely do sales! So be sure to take advantage of our 30% off sale that runs thru Sunday, July 28th, to help us clear our inventory! I believe we're sold out in a few sizes and low stock across colorways, so grab a pair or two now!
As always, be sure to size up a ½ size for the best fit!

But I need you to watch Phyllis Kao at work, as she commands and captivates the room for over 15 minutes. “Emily draws blood first.” What. “Who is this woman?” was my first thought when I saw a snippet. Unreal. What an art.
Sotheby's YouTube channel has a Meet the Auctioneer episode that dives into her history and background in the industry. Recommend watching this episode as well as she shares what it takes to be a successfuly auctioneer today (clients bidding virtually) and the superstitions that auctioneers have. 👀
I thought this was interesting considering China just brokered a peace unity deal with various Palestinian factions including Hamas and Fatah. A new world order is shaping and interestingly, the US is not at the helm. 🇺🇦🇨🇳🇵🇸
Ongoing balloon "warfare" between North & South Korea, this time with North Korea deploying 2,000 large balloons filled with wastepaper, scraps of cloth, cigarette butts and even manure—all in response to South Korean activists scattering political leaflets including K-pop songs via their own balloons. 🎈
A fascinating, long read on CrimeCon where 80% of convention attendees are women, perhaps because some are victims and find a sense of empowerment at these true crime events.
To assist in the country's declining birthrate, PM Fumio Kishida pledged to lift the government’s support per child to a level on par with Sweden, where 3.4% of GDP is allocated to family benefits. 👶🏻👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾👶🏿
Rema is always on heavy rotation on my playlists and his new album did not disappoint! At first listen, I got heavy East African vibes, going against the typical Afrobeats sounds, but you guys let me know what you think after you listen!
