  • {artist showcase: Mario Kolaric}

    I’m back! Vietnam was beautiful. Pics coming soon. But in the meantime….Today while getting caught up on some of my fav blogs I came across this post on Mario Kolaric from Design Sponge. Mario has decided to take some of his creative musings and thoughts from his diary/sketchbook and put them on display to give everyone a…

  • {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 &…

    I love when my coffee cup says hello to me in the morning.

    New year, new inspiration. Next on the reading list:

  • {call me maybe: iPhone case roundup}

    I’m not really one of those super techy people but I was starting to get a little embarrassed pulling out my iPhone 3Gs in public and it was getting pretty slow (poor thing was tired). So I gave into the pressure of the many upgrade reminders by my phone provider and got the shiny new…

    Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, Mother Nature just can’t be contained.  (source)

  • {INSPIRATION: spring in November}

    Beautiful makeover for a $10 grocery store bouquet. Love. 

  • {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…

  • {and}

    For all the type-lovers out there, eat your heart out. My new piece arrived in the mail today. I still have to put the lights in but I love!

  • {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…

  • {skate phone}

    I saw this maple iPhone case today on ShareSomeCandy and it went directly on my ‘want’ list. Taking a closer look I realized there’s more to it than a pretty case. These iPhone cases are made from the throw away bits from a skateboard manufacturing company. Check out the video to see what I’m talking…

  • {ARTIST SHOWCASE: tin plate face}

    I admit that I haven’t taken many pictures for art’s sake for awhile.  It’s been a busy summer but I’m also loving the my quick Instagram snaps from my antique iPhone 3. As much as we’ve all embraced our fun new digital photo toys it’s kinda nice to re-visit some older photography techniques. I came…
