{tape it up}
Who doesn’t love washi tape?! It’s like eye candy. How much did I love opening this package in the mail this week?! There’s nothing better than getting a package full of fun & colour. Because I couldn’t make up my mind on a few patterns (and couldn’t afford to buy a ton) I compromised and…

{say i do: perfection}
wow. This is the closest thing to wedding planning perfection that I’ve seen. I can’t even imagine what it would’ve been like to be a guest. My expectation would be that a wedding put on by someone who runs an amazing wedding website & blog (100 Layer Cake) would be pretty darn good. But this…

{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. They would look great as a collection but also each on it’s own. Pair it up with something similar in your space. I think…

{graphic design: type it out}
I’ve been having a bit of creative block recently when it comes to design so I thought I would find some new fonts to freshen things up a bit. I found a bunch that I really like from Free Typography. It’s a great resource for type lovers.I’m looking forward to using them! Get ’em here:…

{SPACES: covet garden}
A great way to start the day is finding an email in your inbox with a link to the brand new online issue of Covet Garden. What I love most about Covet Garden is that it’s Canadian content. It’s so great to know that the beautiful spaces they’re showcasing may be around the corner. Whatever…

{style: joe fresh runway}
I attended my first official fashion show last night. I worked on some graphics for a participating brand and was lucky enough to score two tickets to a show at the 2013 World MasterCard Fashion week. I chose the Joe Fresh show. Not only are they Canadian but I love that they’ve taken affordable fashion…

{style: a spring photo shoot}
In honour of the first day of spring (and ignoring the snow outside) I thought I would show a recent spring-like photo shoot. In retail, like most seasonal industries, you work really far ahead. So you’re shooting Christmas in July, Valentines at Christmas and in this case, Mother’s Day in January. Finding props and clothing…

{design: update your wallpaper}
What’s one of the best things about having a million different pieces of technology these days? Having a million really cool desktop designs of course. Leave it to Marimekko to suck me in with their crazy bold and colourful graphics you can download to dress up your tech. They release a monthly desktop calendar but…

{places: Chicago}
Last weekend I went to visit a friend in Chicago. It was my first time in the Windy City. I’ve heard tons of amazing things about Chicago and was happy to go. I would love to go back with ALL of my friends and do everything there is to do. I might need to look…

{spaces: february florals}
February blues? What blues? Not when you can bring spring into your home. One of the perks of being an Art Director is that every once and awhile you can take home the props. Today we did a shoot for Mother’s Day (pics to come) which involved some beautiful Spring flowers, including my all time…

{travel: beautiful vietnam}
Traveling is amazing. It opens your eyes to other parts of the world and let’s you see how others live. It’s filled with highs and lows and always challenges you. It helps you grow and your experiences become part of you. This is just a taste of what Vietnam gave me. Thank you!

{winter style}
Don’t hate me but….I love winter. There I said it. I especially love a crisp sunny winter day and bundling up with lots of fun & colourful gear.

{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…
