{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 &…

{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…

{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…

{say cheese}
It’s so funny how it seems that we’re actually traveling back in time. Who would’ve thought that I would be dying to get my hands on this new Polaroid Instant Digital Camera. I love my ol’ school Polaroid but this is pretty cool. It’s basically a super mini printer and camera in one. Welcome to…

{graphic design: wine art}
Maybe you’re not suppose to judge a book (or a possible online date prospect) by their cover but I’ll admit, I judge wine by it’s label. I’ve been on a bunch of wine tours and although they’re very interesting at the time, I forget everything when I’m walking down the wine aisle. What I look…

{thrifting 101: this week’s finds}
As most people know, I love to shop for vintage. For me it’s all about the hunt. Vintage stores are amazing but there’s nothing more satisfying that finding a gem for pennies in a sea of thrift store junk. I keep playing with the idea of having an etsy or online vintage store so I…

{weddings: love brings you back}
My two month adventure has come…and gone. Sigh. But it was amazing! And it helps when I come back to such beautiful summer-like weather at home. Summer also means wedding time. This year is a repeat of last summer where I have no less than 5 (!) weddings between May & August. But I do,…
