Pencil Art by T.S Abe

I recently came across some stunning pencil artwork created by T.S Abe, a 22 year old artist based out of the UK. Her work is captivating, to say the very least; there is clear intention in every single pencil stroke. I am especially taken by her fine attention to detail and her ability to capture the human face so brilliantly. Below are some of my favorite pieces from her.

Places To Go: Ale et Ange

Ale et Ange is a lovely 2 year old pop-up store founded by Osoré Ale Oyagha & Eloise Ange Simonet in New York, NY. I’ve been following the store’s tumblr for nearly a year now and I'm always so impressed by the photos of the merchandise this store sells. Eloise & Osore are brilliant designers, and their store offers well-made staple pieces such as button-down shirts, tees, and dresses as well as accessories such as hats and scarves. Ale et Ange is also known for their amazing hats, composed of vibrant ankara fabric. Ale et Ange's clientele isn't too shabby either. Who shops here, you ask? None other than my favorite musician, the very dapper Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def).

I think this might be Asher Roth. Can anyone confirm? (lol)
