		<title>Lost Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I really like this video for A Fine Frenzy&#8217;s song Lost Things posted by Marylou Mendez on the Hipster Collective Facebook page. It perfectly matches the style of her music, and while it&#8217;s a really simple concept, I think it has a great story and perfect execution.
Thanks to Marylou for sharing!

		<title>Advice to Writers (and designers)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here&#8217;s a quick follow-up to my earlier post &#8220;Overcoming Creative Block&#8221;
American poet Billy Collins gives his advice on finding inspiration&#8230; and I think this is something I find very true, and I do a pretty good job of sticking to it. Either that, or I swing to the other end of the spectrum. I encourage [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Red Cap of Courage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Best Made Co. just made their debut into the apparel world, and like everything they do, they spare no expense or attention to detail. This cap is 100% cashmere knit, emblazoned with the Best Made badge of courage, it is limited quantity and comes packed in a wooden crate with a personalized certificate. Best Made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fashionary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Fashionary is a sketchbook with templates on each page of models to alleviate the time-consuming process of drawing a proportionate model to design clothes on. It&#8217;s a pretty simple idea, but I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s hugely helpful to those of you fashion students out there.
You can get it on Etsy right now. $16 isn&#8217;t bad for [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Too Shall Pass (RGM Version)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
You thought the video for Ok Go&#8217;s song This Too Shall Pass was good? It&#8217;s nothing compared to this Rube Goldberg Machine version.
We&#8217;ve all see stuff like this before&#8230; but I&#8217;ve never seen one this extensive before. I can only imagine the painstaking hours spent just trying to get one solid take. Not to mention [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sarah DeShields</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
DeShields is a local photographer/artist who has some impressive work floating around on the web. I spent about 45 minutes browsing her Flickr stream and really enjoyed seeing familiar faces and her earthy style. It&#8217;s refreshing to see her work in an age where everyone and their cousin have an $800 camera and a website.

		<title>Kishu Binchotan &amp; Bottle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I came across this item over at Nvelt. I really love the simplicity of the packaging; and the way this product transforms your next glass of tap water into something elegant.
According to Sort of Coal: &#8220;Kishu Binchotan soaks up chlorine from tap water while releasing natural minerals into it. Kishu Binchotan softens the water and improves [...]]]></description>

		<title>Parliament Design Headquarters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


These are some absolutely delicious of Portland-based design studio, Parliament Design. Every desk was made from reclaimed fir from an early century church and the walls are made from wood from a 1904 barn. The entire inside is impeccably designed, and would make any designer drool to work in an environment like that.
Check out more [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lambeth Palace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

All of Banksy&#8217;s endeavors contain the signature ingredients: great art, a little bit of mockery, a little recklessness, and a whole lot of mystery. This underground theater in an abandoned subway tunnel is no different. It was set up for showings of Banksy&#8217;s recent film &#8220;Exit Through the Gift Shop&#8221; every day from 6:30-9 until [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marching Through Your Head</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The backing band for Broken Social Scene, Mike O&#8217;Brien and Carlin Nicholson, released their first full-length project this month. &#8216;Say Us&#8217; is the debut album from their personal project, Zeus. Their first exposure &#8216;Sounds Like Zeus&#8217; EP, was released last June. Both projects are definitely worth a listen.
Directed by Alan Poon and Adam Makarenko, this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mumford &amp; Sons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s been a while since I made a music recommendation, so I went through my &#8220;Recently Added&#8221; playlist in iTunes and found this little number.
To me, it has sort of a Fleet Foxes/Great Lake Swimmers feel to it, but iTunes is comparing it to The Low Anthem, Noah and the Whale, and The xx. So [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merchant House by Søren Rose Studio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


I love these images I found over on WeHeart of Søren Rose Studio&#8217;s renovated 1770 Danish House. It has a good mixed of subdued tones combined with one or two bold elements that really stand out against the monotone backgrounds. It also has a great mix of modern and classic furniture which make it a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sony Soundville</title>

Here&#8217;s a video from the facebook page shared by Patrick Beverly. It&#8217;s called Sony Soundville, and I&#8217;m not really sure what the story behind it is, but it provides some really compelling and inspiring imagery. If this isn&#8217;t the product of Maya and After Effects, but a real life experiment, I can&#8217;t imagine the amount [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alphaposter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I love the illustration style of this poster by a design team in Verona, Italy called Happycentro. It&#8217;s elaborate, yet minimalist and elegant. It&#8217;s part of a series of typographic illustration posters.
Go check out the rest of the set on Happycentro&#8217;s website.

		<title>Smell Like a Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This isn&#8217;t really indie or hipster or anything that nobody has ever heard of, but it&#8217;s the best ad I&#8217;ve seen in a long time&#8230; and I&#8217;ve been showing it to everyone lately. The writing is perfect, the actor is perfect&#8230; hilarious.

		<title>Aspiral Clock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I just saw these really cool clocks over on NOTCOT and wanted to share them. I love a well designed clock, and I think there&#8217;s something even cooler about a clock that involves a physical representation of the time. I bought a flip clock a little while ago, which I love, but this takes that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hipster Collective on Facebook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
You may have noticed that the frequency of posts has diminished significantly lately. This is due mainly to the fact that I rarely get a moment to breath or get away from my computer at my new job, so when I get home the last place I want to be is on my computer.  It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Overcoming Creative Block</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s a really great article over on Scott Hansen&#8217;s (aka ISO50) blog featuring a bunch of really great artists and their tips for overcoming the all-too-common creative block. I always find articles like these very intriguing, especially when artists that I admire and respect give helpful advice on making it in the industry. It&#8217;s interesting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elysse Ricci</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Have you ever marveled at the signage and print collateral in Urban Outfitters and wondered who&#8217;s behind it? Whenever I can make it over to a UO store, I&#8217;ll usually pick up a copy of their latest catalog for inspiration. The mastermind behind the overall theme for Urban Outfitters is Philly-based designer Elysse Ricci. Her [...]]]></description>
