Muse of the week: Elizabeth Kiester

I honestly didn’t think I could feel any more inspired after my election high until I re-connected with my old friend and former co-worker Elizabeth Kiester and found out she has moved to Cambodia.

Muse of the week: Shawna McBean

Three things I really love this week

1) Art magazines
Ever since I was little, pouring over my mom’s women’s magazines, I’ve

INSPIRATION: The Wardrobe

Now that it’s warm enough to show a little leg, we’re all about riding out the transitional weather in cut-off jeans the way Joy Bryant does here. Added bonus: you don’t have to pay a lot of dough. This can easily be done at home by hacking last year’s bootlegs.-Museinfo@musemag.net

INSPIRATION: The Palette
