HEY, APW!
After a month that’s been… rocky, it was a seriously good week around here. Maddie and I took a super fun Instagram class at San Francisco’s Makeshift Society, which we then found out was being co-taught by Sarah Deragon, the woman behind The Identity Project (which you might remember from happy hour a few weeks back). Then we took a work road trip to Sonoma for a really exciting future project and cleared a Target out of crop tops and maxi dresses in the process (the crop tops and future project are, sadly, unrelated).
Plus, we’re sharing #APWshoes on Instagram. We obviously broke open the soul of APW with this one and it’s very, very glittery in there.
Great links, open thread, let’s do it.
XO,
MEG
