{30 days of beauty}
Well I hope beauty doesn’t just disappear after 30 days…but that’s the name of the game at Shoppers Drug Mart right now. It’s been more like 6 months of beauty for me at work however. Without getting into details about, well the details, pulling off a big national program or campaign starts wayyyyyyyyyy before you…

{designers…}
This made me smile. The 7 Rules to Understand Designers. It’s a little self-centric….but aren’t all artists? ;) (source)

{artist showcase: Jasmine Berakha}
I was so overly inspired by one of my favourite blogs, Creature Comforts, today. So many beautiful images and art. It really sparked something in me. I was especially taken by this amazing embroidery art by Jasmine Berakha. I’ve never seen anything quite like it and I just love it! I wish she was on…

{photo style}
For all the fashionista photographers out there, you no longer have to pick between fashion & function. Thanks to Kelly Moore you now have a ton of great options when it comes to carrying your camera around and looking good doing it. She was tired of carrying around an ugly, big black bag around and…

{SAY I DO: him & her}
I’m alive! I’ve actually been very inspired all this time, just too busy to write about it. But I just couldn’t resist to post this short little note on this fresh and unique wedding invite set that I just came across. I’ve seen ALOT of wedding invites but there’s something about this one that really…

{INSPIRATION: it’s the small things}
I was going to say that I love all things miniature but figured I would be setting myself up for one endless list of innuendos. So I will be specific and say how much I love miniature art. It’s not a new thing, even back in high school art class one of my favourite projects…

{THRIFTING: flea market finds}
I just had such a great long weekend. (Happy Canada Day!) It was one of those long weekends that seemed even LONGER, which is amazing, and consisted of a bunch of everything and not really anything all at the same time. Lots of little events and small adventures with some chill time in between. Oh…

{GOOD EATS: eat your veggies}
There’s nothing like a fresh garden salad made with vegetables that are in season in the middle of summer. I recently came across this post on Oh Joy that not only aroused my taste buds for summer salads but also a feast for my eyes. With the popularity of Food TV and great magazines like…

{Inspiration: Louis C.K}
So I seem to be going through a little bit of a Spring slump. Nothing super serious but I’m having an itch for change and generally not super happy about life as is at the moment. It’s all Oprah’s fault. I’ve been watching the last 25 Oprah shows…and it’s killing me!! Way too much reflecting…

{HANDMADE: spring harvest recap}
All the anticipation has come….and gone. The Spring Handmade Harvest Craft Show was a big success. Now that the dust has settled it’s time to recap. As I mentioned before, I managed to pull my act together and get a table full of goodies. Actually I think overcompensated and went a little crazy. The show…

{the art of advertising}
I wanted to share this great video I came across recently. It’s really more of a short documentary on the art of painting outdoor advertisements. It’s probably considered a dying art form as these days most large scale outdoor advertisements are printed on vinyl and put up in a short few hours – which is…

{smile!)
OMG – I had to post this illustration I just came across on The Debonaire Blog because it might as well be me. Chronic bitchface is the story of my life – as is the “smile!” comment from total strangers (which is what actually makes me bitchy). What’s even more humorous is that’s pretty much…

{SAY I DO: love is fun}
Back to weddings…. …we’ll ’tis the season so it’s probably appropriate. I just came across this wedding showcase that I had to share. I think this goes down as the most fun wedding I’ve ever seen. I was having fun just looking at it, imagine if you were actually there! The colour, the bikes, the…

{DESIGN: delicious packaging}
Does the same rule apply for food packaging as books? I say yes. And I say when it comes to Jamie Oliver’s packaging you ignore it and totally judge it by how damn pretty it is. I haven’t actually used any of the products but I’m willing to bet that what’s on the inside lives…
