Can't decide who is cuter here: Kindness's Adam Bainbridge, or Ramon, the kid he's teaching how to make dance music. Ok, whatever, it's a tie: They are both adorable. Kindness plays New York this Thursday, and Philly this Friday, and we hope Ramon's with them.
Jake Blanchard's portfolio is filled with crazy colorful psychedelic artwork. Whether he's decorating a window display or drawing up a poster for a music gig, his work is totally eye-catching and meticulous. - Hazel
I'm a sucker for nearly all things Burberry Prorsum. All thrown together, the beautiful shade of purple to this full skirted trench and the lovely details of the collar will keep me daydreaming for days. I'm also fully behind wearing all Prorsum coats as your full on outfit (flasher style). X - Jen
There are some eye-popping prints on these board shorts from Paul Smith as seen at Por Vocacao. It's funny to see hawaiian print garments coming back into fashion after spending so much time as sort of sartorial punchline, but there's definitely some interesting pieces out there—these included! -Bob
While we're not sure exactly how we're supposed to build it, these portable tree-houses by Tentsile are without a doubt the coolest (and most eco-friendly) tents we've ever seen! They're also kind of perfect for the zombie apocalypse. Come and get us, brain eaters!
English photographer Maisie Cousins takes awesome photos of her friends. I think she lives in an alternate universe where teenagers are always cute, psychedelic, grungy kids. I love this editorial she did for Vice of girls on the train. Be sure to check out her personal photo blog too. - Hazel
Liberty London and Dr. Martens have teamed up to make a floral collection of shoes and accessories inspired by hand-painted designs of flowers done by 1980's youth culture. The collaboration will be available at Liberty of London's Regent Street store May 1 and online at the Dr. Martens US store on June 1st. - Hazel
Check out Charlotte Linton's prints from her AW 2012 lookbook. Residing in London, Linton has worked with major fashion names like Paul Smith and Chloé, creating beautiful, lively prints that keep us drooling. There's no way we can wait until fall for these gorgeous scarves!
One of the main reasons that more of us don’t fill up with tap water on the run is that nasty metallic, chlorinated flavor. London-based design duo Black+Blum’s new Eau Good water bottle solves that problem with a simple Japanese-inspired activated charcoal stick that removes icky impurities for six months. With the filter floating openly in a sleek bottle with a cork stopper and bright blue wrist strap, Eau Good looks as clean as its H2O tastes. –Eviana
I grew up with my punk friends painting their leathers and it seems to be a lost art. This may be why I'm so enamored with Nicolai Sclater's work, because when he's not busy painting beautiful signs, he is making some of the most incredible works of art on vintage leathers. Unbelievably perfect. X - Jen
How many designers does it take to change a light bulb? UK-based creative Samuel Wilkinson, working with product manufacturer Hulger, has pulled it off with Plumen. We all know we're supposed to choose energy-efficient CFL bulbs, but starting in 2014 when the government phases out incandescents, we'll have to. Plumen, inspired by the shape of a bird's feathers, looks completely cool dangling from a bare wire—and at $30, it lasts eight times as long as a regular bulb while using a fraction of the energy. Bonus: The light that comes out is warm and natural, so in this case going green doesn’t mean your skin will look green. –Eviana
I'm a sucker for any project that involves exploring beautiful and creatively decorated interiors. Slanted Mansion, a blog that photographs the homes of creatives from around the globe, is no exception. Interviewing everyone from Swedish tattoo artists to Argentinian musicians, photographer and interviewer Siobhan Frost definitely has an eye for interesting homes. - Hazel
Tabitha Simmons is a dream come true to shoe lovers everywhere and she has worked absolute magic with her exquisite SS12 collection. I am in love with so many pairs I don't know how I was able to narrow it down to just these two! X - Jen
The Spring/Summer term of workshops at Self Publish, Be Happy in London is coming up, so if you're looking to hone your skills as a book or zine artist it's worth checking out. Topics range from publishing to production and take place over the weekend at the Daniel Blau Gallery. Reserve your spot now before they're all booked up! -Bob
Our own Joel Evey just put together this mix for Panther Club's curated mixtape series. ¡ǝɯosǝʍɐ
I am super into this lookbook for Charlotte Taylor's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. The clothes are funky and bright (printed with colorful parrots and banjos) but the backdrop and the model look so witchy. She's even holding an owl! All of the fabrics look like silk handkerchiefs and the interesting prints demand some special attention. - Hazel
Watch the video above to find out how Phil Cuttance creates his FACETURE vases. Each one is created from taking a hand-cut and manipulated plastic mold, and filling it with two layers of water-based resin in pastel shades. If those weren't cool enough, he also makes light shades and side tables in the same style.
Still Corners' "Endless Summer" is one of those songs you hear during the most crucial scene in a movie. In our head we can the rain pouring, a guy running, a girl watching out a window crying... how will it all end!?
Take a well crafted look inside fashion designer Nigel Cabourn's studio and learn about how he came to be a designer in this short interview. Cabourn talks about his infatuation with military garments and the first jacket to reach the top of Mount Everest, along with the pilgrimage he made to a museum all the way in New Zealand just to see it.

We love these animated GIFs from behind the scenes at Burberry's A/W 2012 show. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then these must be worth a whole book.
