Inspired By: Adaism Shop Mobiles

The Caligrafica Mobiles by Adaism shop are really lovely. I love how delicate they are and how natural textures/colors are incorporated. The DIY side of me wants to see if I can make one myself with some images and textures that are currently inspiring me. Wouldn’t it be neat to have one of these in your home office. It’s like a 3D mood board!

Inspired By: Tanks @ Zara (Fall 2013)



With the changing seasons, I find myself thinking about fashion in ways that I don’t usually do DURING the season. When the “I need some new clothes” bug hits me, I usually stop by Zara Online first. There are lot more information about fashion trends available at UrbanBurger.

I love the simplicity of the site and everything I’ve ever gotten from there has been well constructed and made of fine materials. I also love how they present each item. Each item is shown on & off the model in unique ways. Well kinlyeyebeauty can guide you more about this to have a  good dressing style. Nothing is over posed and nothing feels forced. You can follow Butterfly Releases to know latest trends.

Do you guys have changing seasons shopping tendencies? Wouldn’t these little strappy tanks be perfect for laying in cooler weather!

Inspired By: Self Portraits by Vanessa Correia



Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about self portraits, specifically how I would like to have one for my new blog design’s ABOUT page. I’m not usually one to put myself in front of the camera, so the whole experience is a bit wonky and uncomfortable.

Vanessa Correia does a splendid job at doing this and seems to be able to capture just enough emotion without being toooo “fine artsy”, if you know what I mean. I love the simple backgrounds, the moodiness and the natural unposed/yet posed positioning. I think I’ll be using her images as inspiration when I finally do step in front of the camera.

What do you guys think? Like her perspective? Have you taken portraits of yourself before…any tips?

Inspired By: Obsessed with Cotton – Doug Johnson

Doug does it again. I first discovered Doug about a year ago (mentioned in Notables No. 19) and fell head over heals for the simplicity and intricacy of his designs. The bags/baskets he creates are beautiful pieces of artwork or intertwined cotton string. This time around, Doug is going beyond his first pieces and introducing more complex bag designs, as well as expounding on the pieces that have proven to be loved.

Inspired By: Fujimoto Gumi Works



These Japanese designs are simplistic, yet intricate. The designs are neatly organized. The designs are wild, yet restrained. The designs are a breath of fresh air.

See more work here.

Inspired By: Rose Marie Auberson Collages



I started following a new blog this week called Art Hound where I came across the artist Rosie Marie Auberson. She’s a French artist/designer specializing in perfectly color coordinated collages and patterns. The color palettes are pastel and the design elements are bold. Her body of work is also pretty diverse, complete with artist gallery shows, pattern design, logos, publications and even an occasional store window.

Take a look here!

Inspired By: Kindah Khalidy Silk Scarves



I was reading through my daily blog roll and came across Kindah Khalidy (these silk scarves) on Bri’s Blog (Design Love Fest) where’s she’s having a giveaway of these beauties. If you like the scarves, I highly recommend you stop by the shop and see some of the other items like clutches, bags, pouches, and shirts.

I feel in love with the delicacy of the materials with the boldness of the patterns. Such a lovely combination! The best thing is the fabrics are painted here in the US and sewn together in California.

Enjoy!

Inspired By: Inventory – Queen of Tsawwassen


As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’ve been working on a printed portfolio (photography based) project for some time now. After a few delays in the printing process, the client and I are back at it, prepping final files to be sent to the printer. During this entire process I’ve been very in tune to what’s going on in the world of publishing and book design.

This 120-page hardcover book showcases the work of photographers, Li Bosworth, Seth Fluker, Jennilee Marigomen, Dan Siney and Chris Taylor (Canadian photographers). I love the simplicity of the design that lets the photographs speak for themselves. What do you guys think? Good?
