more (& more) holiday posts! ..yay.

Me and my roommates have taken our small amounts of spare time to turn our apartment into winter wonderland. Garlands, wreaths, bows, glitter, snowflakes etc. We stayed up the other night obsessively cutting out the perfect little white snowflakes to string around the apartment, we ended up hanging them in the living room window... so it looks like its always snowing! :) You can see Charlie hopping around in the bottom corner of the last photo... cuutiee pie. 

ALSO!, I have got my name mentioned on a blog of caliber for the first time! (although not for my blogging talents) but for a giveaway that I won, HURRAY! 

I won a piece of jewelry from The parliament of two. Thanks to the quite dapper Bedlam of beefy.

heres the giveaway post! HERE & HERE.   (omg look it says my name & blog! gahhh) 

p.s I chose the bunny brooch of course :)

give a hoot, don't pollute!

This was a poster I did for a pro-eco organization that was doing a campaign to raise awareness about the destruction of habitat and the effects of tourism on our environment. It is done by hand, mixed media collage and pencil, sharpie.

a poster for baskerville

     So, this is a poster created for my typography class. We were supposed to pick a font that we liked/found interesting and then create a poster for it, which conceptually illustrates the font and what it's all about. So i picked baskerville, I chose to emphasize the uppercase Q and the lowercase g becuse those are the two most memorable letterforms in the typeface. The gears are symbolic of how the font is a 'transitional' font which was made at the beginning of the industrial revolution, and they are supposed to have that 'industrial' feel, as well as show how the letterforms work together... like gears. 

I still have some editing to do, in the title and subtitle spacing... I can't decide if its too close to the edge or not.

I am so inspired to be crafty!

Im diggin' this vintage kinda vibe.

"Why Don't You Love Me" - Beyoncé from Beyoncé on Vimeo.


So... Im not really a fan of Beyonce's music at all, but i do LOVE this video. If i were famous, my music videos would all look like this. And now i will be on the lookout for that robins egg blue shade of nail polish she's wearing that matches that cool vintage phone! & that floral corset??! so cute.


p.s i know i have been lazy lately with this whole blogging thing... but its because im just enjoying my summer! (and also because i left my laptop charger back downtown and when my laptop died two weeks ago, well... i was out of luck)


p.p.s expect posts to be posted on a daily basis again soon! (photos need uploading etc.)

Apartment therapy.

I have a design sense of mind. I tend to like small details and strong concepts.
I LOVE these interiors because of their charm, character and style.
not too modern, yet not traditional. stylish, yet home-y. (the list goes on)

There are a few similarities between them that you may notice,
and i am obviously a huge fan of. Including;

1. Unique lines and curves, interesting sense of space.

for example in pictures 2, 3 & 4 you see organic lines juxtaposing with hard, straight lines. Arched doorways and cascading overhead beams. 

2. open, airy & un-claustrophobic.
yet still intimate.

3. warm, cheery colors.

4. & windows, OH the windows. (i swoon)
large and open, letting a ton of light in.

I also notice ONE more thing about them that they all have in common, one thing in which i envy so much, envy enough to maybe even be inspired... they are all CLEAN. 

i HAVE to do something about the current state of my room.. (not to say that my apartment is in any way comparable to the photos above).. but i know that it could look ten times better if i just cleaned it up.

in fact i have already started... spring summer cleaning has started.
