  • {design: posters to make you bust a move}

    Gosh, I love music. Oh and I also happen to love dancing and art. And who can resist colour? So you can imagine how much I love these simple but cheerful music themed embroidery pieces of art from Australian creative shoppe, Castle.  They have a ton of cool stuff to check out including home &…

  • {tribal beauty}

    There’s been a little controversy over the use of Native American symbolism in the media recently with No Doubt pulling their most recently music video and Victoria Secret apologizing for one of their famous runway looks at this year’s Victoria Secret show. But politics & history aside, I can’t blame them for being so inspired…

  • {excel-lent}

    I just came across something that I almost refuse to believe. If you’re a creative person or basically anyone who gets insanely frustrated or confused by Microsoft Excel (yeah, yeah, I know….it’s a very powerful and useful tool) then you will be blown away by this. As I read on DesignTAXI today, an artist that…

  • {30 Days of Beauty}

    Just a little update on what I’ve been working on during my 9-5pm. Based on the success of last year’s 30 Days of Beauty campaign, Shoppers decided to bring it back this year. The overall look remained the same but the colours and faces were updated.I just loved working on these beauty shoots. The models…

    What I learned today during a webinar titled “100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People” – the function of the Middle Brain is to ask these 3 questions:

  • {wedding sweets}

    Just a glimpse of my design fingerprint at my cousin’s wedding this past weekend. I love that she took my suggestion of mini-macaroons to match with the colourful confetti. Delicious. Here is what the invite looked like:

  • {D.I.Y host}

    Impress your summer guests with this super easy DIY refresher. Just put some fresh mint and raspberries in a ice tray with water and voila! you have the prettiest ice cubes ever. They make any glass of water more interesting or throw them in a wine glass with some white or blush vino and you…

  • {say cheese}

    It’s so funny how it seems that we’re actually traveling back in time. Who would’ve thought that I would be dying to get my hands on this new Polaroid Instant Digital Camera. I love my ol’ school Polaroid but this is pretty cool. It’s basically a super mini printer and camera in one. Welcome to…

  • {graphic design: wine art}

    Maybe you’re not suppose to judge a book (or a possible online date prospect) by their cover but I’ll admit, I judge wine by it’s label. I’ve been on a bunch of wine tours and although they’re very interesting at the time, I forget everything when I’m walking down the wine aisle. What I look…

  • {thrifting 101: this week’s finds}

    As most people know, I love to shop for vintage. For me it’s all about the hunt. Vintage stores are amazing but there’s nothing more satisfying that finding a gem for pennies in a sea of thrift store junk. I keep playing with the idea of having an etsy or online vintage store so I…

This is the most unique and beautiful wedding invitation for the uber talented type illustrator and designer Jessica Hische & her designer beau Russ. If you’re familiar with Jessica’s work, you can see that this is cut from the…

  • {weddings: love brings you back}

    My two month adventure has come…and gone. Sigh. But it was amazing! And it helps when I come back to such beautiful summer-like weather at home. Summer also means wedding time. This year is a repeat of last summer where I have no less than 5 (!) weddings between May & August. But I do,…
