Ultra-trendy letterboards are totally inspired by the front desk at your elementary school in the ’80s and ’90s.

You can easily and stylishly display your subversive philosophies and Simpsons quotes to match your mood.

Lady Gaga, stylist Bea Åkerlund (aka Beyonce’s stylist!), and IKEA (of all places) are collaborating on a new glam goth IKEA collection that is set to hit stores and online in March.
