This week was HOT! But don’t let that New York heat get the best of you. This week’s #Breadcrumbs will freshen you up just in time for the weekend. We’ve got a museum in Sweden dedicated to epic fails, HTML blue makeup looks from BK brand Chromat, and a 3D knitter that’s bringing custom designing into the home. Check out what you should know in all things culture below!
