This week's top trends featured some incredible design projects, from unique smartphone cases to art projects inspired by exes.
Though there were many standout features this week, a series by Sebastian Errazuriz caught the eyes and attention of many readers. His project was made up of shoes he'd designed based on ex girlfriends. Just as controversial as you might expect, the unique take on footwear design was undeniably impressive, at least in terms of design.
If you're more drawn to adorable photography, a series featuring a young boy and his dog, and best friend, melted many hearts. Touching, and even hard to believe, this photo series was unsurprisingly very popular.
