3-Day Weekend.

It's a 3-day weekend, ya'll. The sun is officially out. Time to get outta town, soak up the rays and reset your brain. So take a camping trip, shop in a nearby town, go to the pool--in short, do something relaxing this weekend!

Don't Stop.

Art lovers, rejoice! This blind contour drawing, from Jenn Lawrence, is about as uniquely awesome as a Kanye West song. Speaking of Kanye, he's about to release another groundbreaking album.

Theme Of The Week: Featherette Favorites, Part VI.

Custom map portrait, from Map Portraits.

Like any great sequel-driven movie, we're taking it one step further. Think less "Fast and the Furious" and more "Harry Potter", here... And while our "Featherette Favorites" series may not be as recognizable (and wildly successful) as J.K. Rowling's money-making machine, we do think we've stumbled upon quite a few inspirational finds.

So without further ado, we bring you Part VI of our "Featherette Favorites" series! Enjoy--and have a wonderful week!

Truche, OG.

I "Heart" Italy necklace, from Truche.

And by "OG", we mean "Original Gangster". In case you hadn't heard, Urban Outfitters has ripped off another independent artist. This time, it's Etsy seller, Truche and her adorable geographically-inspired, "i heart" necklaces.

While we're all for flattery, this is crossing the line. And as independent artists ourselves, we're peeved. But while many bloggers have suggested a boycott of Urban Outfitters and their sister company, Anthropologie, we think the ultimate course of consumer action may be far less dramatic.

Simply put, the next time you're feeling the itch to spend some dollars, sit down on your computer, head on over to Etsy, and buy yourself something handmade.

With all that's happened (in regards to Urban Outfitters), just think of it as avoiding the middle man.
