Is that $100 custom Lump Nubbin truly one-of-a-kind, or did your basic kid sister in Boston already buy three at Urban Outfitters? Are those feathers you're buying for your DIY headdress-making party really imported from North Dakota, or are they locally sourced from a foragers collective in Jamaica Bay? And which is more relevant? Hmmmm....
Curating your personal existence can be exhausting, but with our new Williamsburg #Lifebrand Shopping Guide, you'll have everything you need to complete your transition from Murray Hill.
