• I’ve been talking about a “somewhat secret” project in my stores these past few weeks... welp, here it is! I’m so excited to announce that OWS is teaming up with a group of photographers, marketing specialists and other amazing designers to form @catalogcollective ✨ ______ Strong branding starts with strategy, messaging and design, but it also needs good photography, copywriting and marketing to really get the job done. _____ Check us out @catalogcollective 〰️ with new collaborations coming soon 🖤 Reach out via email if you’d like to get started on your project 👋

  • These past few days have been pretty low energy, tough to get much done kind of days. Sure I could give myself a hard time about not getting all the things done, but what’s the use in that? ______ Some days you just need rest 〰️ and trust me, rest is “doing the work” too. Without rest, we wouldn’t create original ideas and concepts. Without rest, we would lack inspiration and motivation to do all the amazing things in our lives ✨ ______ So if you’re feeling this too, I give you permission to rest up. We can be soo much more productive when we don’t force it. ______ Go ahead and take that nap, sleep in, read that book, Netflix that new show... whatever that looks like to you, do it 🖤 ______ Typeface 〰️ Lapture

  • January can be tough 〰️ it’s cold all the time, the days are short, and there’s a weird amount of pressure to accomplish all the things within the first month. ______ But this mantra has helped me every morning these past few weeks ✨ ______ Things don’t usually happen immediately. (Of course it’s possible, anything’s possible.) 😉 〰️ BUT normally good things take time. They take a lot of believing and mindset shifting. They take showing up every day, even if no one’s noticing quite yet. They take patience and grit. ______ So keep on keeping on and write this down each morning 🖤 Believe it so. ______ Typeface 〰️ Franklin Gothic Book / Poynter Display
