BREAKING: I Found An Online Mag That I REALLY Like!

Ok, stop the motherfucking presses, ppl: this news is big, and I mean gigantasaurus big. I found an amazing online mag! That's designed well! And doesn't have 8 billion unnecessary pages!

It's called Collected and you should all be reading it right the hell now.

Started by two LA-based interior designers and bloggers, Krista Schrock and Jessica Comingore, the mag is gorgeous, and chock full of killer collections of all sorts of fab products, and beautifully shot features, and fonts that don't make my eyes bleed.
