This week’s Our Voice features Luke and Jasmin of Sideshow Sign Co. You may have noticed their beautiful signage around our backyard, but learn more of their fascinating story here.
our choice: robert glasper experiment
Several weeks ago, Matt and I were asleep but the TV was still on. We both woke up literally at the same time, startled by the musical guest on Jimmy Fallon. We said pretty much in unison, “Who in the hell is this?”
Obviously both captivated by the mesmerizing music, I woke up the next morning and immediately researched Robert Glasper Experiment. I found a bunch of his early stuff, all jazz. Then, finally found what I was looking for: his new record Black Radio. I’ve listened to his rendition of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” about a thousand times since. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

My closet is full of neutrals and black (and shoes). I’m most comfortable in an old white t-shirt, a great fitting pair of jeans, a funky piece of well-crafted jewelry and a great pair of shoes. Simple clothes with fun accessories. To me, style is about remaining authentic to yourself no matter what you wear.
the roundup: in the genes
I will never forget when my brother, Bart, came over to my apartment 15 years ago to pack my suitcase for my first work trip to Europe. He said, “Ok, this is all you are taking: 1 pair of jeans, 3 white t-shirts, my sweater, your old tennis shoes and some high heels.” After that was all in the bag, he tucked in smoked almonds mixed with dried blueberries in a Ziploc bag, 2 good reads and his personal travel diary that had been around the world with him over the past decade.
Usually girls want to dress like other girls. But I have always wanted to dress like my brother. And eat like him, think like him… be like him.
Bart has an innate gift of knowing about good stuff, usually far before a trend sets in. He doesn’t desire lots of material things, but the pieces and traditions that he incorporates into his daily life are an inspiration and indication of how to exist simply… but for sure with a hint of unique flare.
Love,
Carrie
