We have spent a truly unreasonable amount of time (with a concerning amount of coffee and also maybe some red wine ok) working on our website over the last week so that you guys can shop EVERYTHING on there now!

Our email babes, you just got a big ol’ discount code (check junk too just in time), and for those who aren’t on our list yet… get on there!
I know it sounds wild unless you’re in that world but honestly website stuff takes SO long and there are SO many components so be sure to show your favorite businesses some love on their pages. It’s seriously a full time job (and then some) in itself. Now go wild, our little cyber babes!!! 😜💖😘

• Let’s Dance + Harvest Moon •
The last year or so has had everyone in severe hustle mode, out of necessity. We decided it was time to bring some creativity back into the mix, and find a way to include local businesses along the way. I’ve been looking forward to collaborating with Damien for a long time but it was super important to me that it was for the right project. We all sat down and came up with the idea to recreate iconic album covers over the years, and to do so with our own spin on them and with using people in the community (makers, business owners, baristas, anyone who is involved locally) at places in the community (shops, parks, beaches, etc).
We chose these two first, because they are the two records containing the songs that the shop was named after (Modern Love by David Bowie and Unknown Legend by Neil Young). Young has always allowed me to embrace the depths of a complex heart while Bowie encourages me to explore my mind in unconventional ways. Young’s music creates a feeling of warmth, romance and understanding while Bowie’s represents a colorful brightness, spontaneity, and sense of self. These two artists defined both creativity and songwriting for me, and both are entirely bold in their own aspect of the word. Recreating their vision has been an absolute honor and I can’t wait to roll out all of the ones we do in the coming months.
A massive, sincere thank you to Damien for the time, effort, and brilliantly vibrant passion put into this project. You would be amazed to know what all goes into it. And thank you to Bella and Haylee, two customers turned friends turned colleagues (and also just amazing women) who have helped Modern become what it has and for delving into this concept wholeheartedly. Stay tuned for what’s next, and let us know if there’s any you’re dying to see us do!
1) When it’s the end of the holiday weekend and you think about how much alcohol you consumed and realize you’re supposed to get through Monday like a functioning adult. Damn you whiskey, damn you.
2) When you feel slightly better because you realize it’s Cyber Monday and there’s crazy good deals at ML for 25% off of the ENTIRE website - no code needed! Welcome to the internet! Could I interest you in everything? All of the time? A little bit of everything, all of the time?
