We’re long-time fans of New Bedford-based artist, Shara Porter. In fact, Calico has carried Shara’s line since its–and Calico’s–inception, back in 2005. Since then, Shara’s carefully-sourced collection of hand-printed “fine found objects” has been featured in Lucky Magazine, Daily Candy, Improper Bostonian–and more!

The other night, my friend, Liv, texted me, saying that she liked my new hair cut. She had seen it here on the blog, and said it reminded her of Isabella Blow. I was like, Oh? Who’s that?
