happy friday, darlings!
let us toast with some springy confections from photographer philippe halsman. best known for capturing his subjects mid-flight, halsman believed that the act of jumping brought out the true essence in people.
so let's heed halsman's airy wisdom as we breeze into the glorious weekend: may there be a spring in your step, and of course...may you be as high as a kite!
