  • {photo cheat sheet}

    Yesterday I mentioned how I wish I was better at photography. Well today I came across this super user friendly infographic from Totally Rad that is amazing. What a great tool to have.

  • {posters & spaces}

    A few days behind here but I’m madly in love with these Mad Men posters that I just came across. Designed by South African studio Radio. I love the monochromatic colour schemes.
