{say I do: bold love}
Oh wow, oh wow do I ever love everything about this beautiful wedding that was featured on 100 Layer Cake yesterday. Where do I start? I think it’s the bold colours of the flowers that really drew me in then all the other details just got me drooling. Love the mix n’ match chairs and…

{STYLE: form & fashion}
So what do you get when you combine three of my favourite things, travel + design + fashion? You get these great poster mash ups from Miss Moss. They are inspired by the D&G collection shown at Milan fashion week (Sept 2012). The bold prints, patterns and colours were reminiscent of exotic locations around the…

{thrifting 101: don’t pass the chachka’s}
dust collectors, trinkets, useless crap. Whatever you want to call them we all know about chachkas and probably know someone with a dusty collection sitting in a glass cabinet in a dining room that never gets used. Many of those lonely chachka’s eventually end up on a shelf in a thrift store. That’s where we…

{SPACES: camping on wheels}
Happy Victoria Day everyone! I’m spending the day at home catching up on projects on my patio. Hopefully I get done early and have a little time to kick back and enjoy the patio. But for the past two days I was out enjoying mother nature in the heart of it with a few girlfriends.…

{artist showcase: hacco}
I stumbled upon a beautiful floral illustration and it lead me to the work of Japanese illustrator Hacco, aka Miyahara Hazuki. I love the transparent layered look and bright colours of her work. It reminds me of layers of coloured tissue paper. They’re so simple and cheerful. Brightens your day!

{natural beauty}
Take a look at this beautifully simple package design. The clean design is appropriate as it’s a natural, all organic beauty line. Simple product, simple design. The product is from Jacqueline Evans, a certified Naturopath from Australia. It’s so rare to see something so simple on the shelf. For those of you who don’t know,…

{spaces: inspiration}
With all the decor projects going on in my own loft these days I thought it was a good time to share some of my favourite places to go for online home decor inspiration. The list of resources really is endless but here’s just a handful that I go to on a regular basis. Warning…

{spaces: pink’n yellow}
I came across this recent cover from UK magazine Company and was inspired by the colour palette. I love the yellow dress and the pop of pinks. The first thing that popped into my head was using these colours in a space. Apparently I’m not alone because I found a bunch of great home decor…

{new work: mother’s day beauty}
I just updated my portfolio and thought I would take a minute to show some recent work of mine that happens to be Mother’s Day themed (just in case you haven’t been reminded enough – this Sunday is Mother’s Day!). We decided to keep the design & layout very simple & clean and to really just…

{artist showcase: amy sia}
I recently came across the bright and bold work of Amy Sia and had to share. She’s an Australian textile print designer based out of London. As it turns out her amazing work is no secret as her prints and patterns have been featured globally. But if you haven’t come across her work before he’s…

{good eats: cinco de mayo}
Even if you’re not Mexican you can get in touch with your inner Mexican self this weekend and celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It’s a great reason to get a group together for a celebration full of food, colour and cocktails. Speaking of food and cocktails, here’s a handful of new twists on some classic Mexican…

{good eats: nutty pizza}
I love food & cooking. I’ve even taken a few semi-pro cooking classes but the truth is I don’t apply too much of it living solo. It’s so much more fun to cook with/for people. There’s nothing like walking into a kitchen that smells amazing. But every once and awhile I get in the mood…
