this is a towel that hangs off of the oven door in my kitchen. it's not a particularly useful towel -it's not super absorbent and basically the opposite of soft. but i don't care that it isn't the most helpful tool for getting wet things dry, for me, this towel serves a higher purpose. this towel ...
girls’ getaway: the santa barbara edition
