It has finally happened: I’m wearing tights, a sweater and boots. Fall is here! YES! Now all is well with the world. (For today, that is.)
This week’s edition of News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere is full of whimsy, Polaroids, voyeuristic kitty experiences, patterns and fabric. Read on!
The Porter Polaroid Project presents a whimsical view of New York that I’ve never experienced before. It’s quite addictive. [Via Royal Quiet Deluxe]
If you are suffering from a lack of feline companionship and are looking for a few quick purrs, Cats I Am Near is the most amazing voyeuristic kitty experience out there. Simply put in your city or zip code, and voila! You’ll know what cats are snuggling in your neck of the woods. This little kitty comes care of ClatieK on Flickr. [Via For Me, For You]
In today’s heated political atmosphere, it’s important to think about what came before, just to keep things in perspective. These photos from historic Democratic and Republican National Conventions past are very revealing. Suffragettes unite! [Via Nothing is New]
Looking to take in some awkward photos? Let Sexy People be your guide. This collection of terrible/beautiful photography will surely make your day. If you want to submit, you should know that they only accept studio photography. We have a soft spot for awkward photos here at the Storque — just take a look at our About Us series.
Have you heard of Bon Bon Kakku? It’s amazing! This fabric design website functions like popular T-shirt design site Threadless — simply post your design, people vote, and if it’s loved, Bon Bon Kakku will produce it to sell! It’s pretty rad.
Wanna give me some more artsy, style or design blogs to peruse? Leave them in the comments! And check out past installments of News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere!

I'm so jealous fall isn't going to hit us weatherwise until another month and a half. It's 94 where I am and it's not even noon. Going to be 101 today. Blarg. Great article as usual!

"Cats I am Near" is such a cool idea! Although I'm not lacking for companionship inside, or outside my house, I love seeing other people's photos of admiration! Yes! Tights, boots & sweaters weather! I'm with you on that one!
