Here are a few finds that will brighten and fuel your week:
+ First of all... it is now possible to follow Culture Keeper on your Blog Lovin' Feed. If you don't have a blog reader yet... head on over to sign up. This site makes it handy to follow many blogs in one place... like reading the morning news. Check it out.
+ There is a Norwegian reality series that places fashion bloggers in Cambodian sweatshops to see how they cope. The series is a stunning expose of exploitation and inequality. Read more HERE. This is huge and essential.
+ I am ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with this runway show from Burberry Prorsum. It has me stunned and mesmerized. If you only watch a section, (or if this is the first runway show you have ever seen, skip to (12:40)). There is something almost sacred (almost) about the way they set this up. Pure Magic:
+ My friend Wes Swan has me hooked on the amazing sounds of Angel Olsen. Particularly her album BURN YOUR FIRE FOR NO WITNESS. Listen here on Spotify. I am especially fond of her track High and Wild. Her sound can be a bit Jenny Lewis and a bit Velvet Underground. (that is a good thing). Check it out:
+ IN THE NEWS - Archbishop Oscar Romero, who was was assassinated in 1980, for his activism and work with the poor, has officially been recognized as a martyr. This may not seem like anything fancy, but it is actually a huge step for Human Rights in the Catholic Church. Read (or listen) to more HERE.
