Love is all you need.
READ
Love, an Index
What: A slim debut of verses ($18) written by Rebecca Lindenberg, whose poet boyfriend vanished while hiking a volcano in Japan. It’s also the first collection in the new McSweeney’s Poetry Series.
Why: “The Girl with the Ink-Stained Teeth,” “The Girl with the Microfilm Face,” and so much more.
Where: Online at store.mcsweeneys.net.
CREATE
ArtCircles
What: The new, free iPad app is worth a spin. Click the three circles (corresponding to colors, curators, and words) to see which of art.com’s million-plus works dials up on demand.
Why: Myriad shades (from cyan to coquelicot), people (performance painter David Garibaldi), and adjectives (ethereal to quirky) to inspire you.
Where: Online at itunes.apple.com.
WEAR
Helena Quinn
What: Just in time for spring, the buzzed-about L.A. designer’s line ($99-$300) will make you wish for more jacket weather. (The Jessica swing coat with contrast lapels is a breezy stunner.)
Why: DC readers can exclusively preorder pieces by emailing orders@helena-quinn.com.

BUY
Growing Jewelry
What: Nail the crunchy-hippie-meets-tribal vibe with one-of-a-kind necklaces ($100-$320) strung with vibrant Perler beads and hand-formed salt stones in Austin, Texas.
Why: The Ria beads rope necklace in tan, green, and aqua makes a statement.
