We want to buy every one of the Newton and Lowdown models with their digital old school style and bright pop colors. Get those in SHOP cause great minds think alike and our members are snapping them up. Or roll like a pro and strap these Platform watches (pictured above) on your wrists. That’s what time it is!
Here’s our list of the things we love right now, this very moment, this April month — selected from the worlds of fashion, art, film and general mayhem. Luckily for us, our awesome members Michelle and Kate won our giveaway contest and tipped us off to two more things for us to love.
