CUT OUT & KEEP POSTERS

Written by . Filed under Art & Design, DIY, Home Style Files. Tagged , , , , , , . No comments.

Have you ever come across something simply brilliant and think “why didn’t I think of that?!” When I saw these Hark prints that’s exactly what I said to myself. Colorful geometric shapes printed onto a poster that you can keep, or cut out and fold into 3D totem poles! Art installations from the simple elements of color, pattern, and paper. These posters series have come to life and is sold through JaguarShoes thanks to the collaboration of Hark and Ben Pearce .

 

 

DIMA LOGINOFF FOR ARTEX

Written by . Filed under Art & Design, Home Style Files, Inspired. Tagged , , , , , . No comments.

Great design whether in typography, album covers, fashion or furniture stands the test of time and pioneers different eras. I particularly love these furniture designs by Dima Loginoff for Artex, it’s shapes has daring lines and the bold color blocks. It’s an artform with function that calls for attention and conversation. One thing I find very interesting about Dima is that his career started off in hairstyling, then took the path of interior and product design. I’m inspired by the entrepreneurial  step he took to still express styling and design into products and interiors. Many creative beings are blessed with a curse of being a jack of all trades and a master at none. Sometimes it’s hard to gain focus because so many things interest you, but a mentor once told me follow what peaks your interest and eventually it lead you in a way that feeds your creativity and you’ll always manage financially.

Life’s About Balance

Oh my I let my domain expire?! Shame on me! It’s been overwhelmingly crazy around here. Ever heard the saying ” the mechanics car is never fixed”, that holds true in my situation but I must say I love it! Finally moved in to our humble abode, its cozy and its charming despite the smaller closet ;) Also started my position with Austin Woman Magazine and still doing social media for Rae cosmetics, I must say its the best of both worlds. Feeling a little under the weather tonight, somewhat frustrating when your mind is moving a million miles a minute but you can’t get your body to move. But found it to be the perfect opportunity to get back to personal blogging. Can you believe it’s been a month since my last blog post? I always stress the importance of daily activity on a client’s site to increase SEO and loyal readership but lately I can’t use mine for an example! Oops, busy but grateful and my dear blog how I’ve missed you! Time for you is time for me, after all life is about balance right?

Oh my it’s been 10 days since I’ve done a blog post. That has to be a record that I’m not proud of, but one thing that I am proud of is my time spent on managing Rae Cosmetic’s social media and blog. Below are a few of the girls on the team, they are a group of amazing, unique and very talented women. I am thrilled to be representing them. With SXSW in full swing, our events calendar and marketing efforts are on full blast! We sponsored Texas Style Council this past weekend, where I had an opportunity to sit on a panel ( Think local, go national) with incredibly successful bloggers and creatives such as Camille Styles, Style & Pepper, and Launch 787. I was honored and thoroughly enjoyed meeting fellow Austin bloggers as well as across the U.S. By the way, this blog post is not posting on Rae’s blog until tomorrow, so ssshhhh ;) you can get your sneak peek here!

Chevron: For Home / For Wardrobe

I know I haven’t posted in a while, it has been a crazy past few weeks and March is about to be busier. We just received the keys to our new apartment yesterday, so we’re in the process of moving into a new space. I’s so exciting, I love decorating new spaces, and turning empty spaces into a place we call home. March introduces the whirlwind of wedding season, so its filled with friends in love and celebration! Also been devoting a lot of time managing social media for clients, I can’t wait to introduce them to you! Really excited about meeting ladies in the similar industry during TX Style Council, and last but not least, March is anticipated by most Austinites  because of SXSW. I’m getting exciting just typing about it! I hope you guys enjoy your weekend, and if you’re in the Austin area make sure to catch the kite festival this sunday!

Lazy Sunday: OUR SF WEEKEND

Written by . Filed under Inspired, Life & or etc.. Tagged , , , , . No comments.

It’s almost 3′oclock and I’m still in my pajamas. That’s what I love about Sundays, it’s the only day I really get to put my to-do list aside and leisurely do what I want. Me and Aaron spent a few days in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, and we’re just now getting around to the pictures. I’m not going to lie, reminiscing through these photos is bitter sweet. It was such an amazing trip, the city was so alive with people, food, art and culture. We couldn’t get enough of its historic presence, the vibe and the convenience of public transportation. We loved exploring all the different neighborhoods and how very distinguishable they are from one another. I’m in awe at how they fit so much in 46 square miles. I might have to sacrifice my walk-in closet but I’m convinced that they have a little bit more room to squeeze me, Aaron, and Gonzo in!

A collaboration with A Global Friendship

Written by . Filed under Fashion, Inspired. No comments.

My absence here was time well spent, I focused on a few projects and collaborations such as my collaboration with A Global Friendship. Elizabeth, the founder of AGF is a perfect example of  the saying “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Elizabeth suffered through a tsunami during a spiritual journey to Thailand, which propelled her eye for art and her passion for helping to create AGF. Their products evolve as their artisans grow, hand crafted items include hand spun scarves, handmade totes and bracelets. Her mission is to help artisans increase their opportunity by providing them with a source of income, education and business skills. When she emailed me about AGF expanding their market through major US cities including Austin, I obliged! Aaron lent a helping by redesigning their facebook page: LIKE them here!

Breather

Taking a small breather from my blog to focus on some upcoming projects. The work is never done so please believe I will be right back onto daily posts! In the meantime check out this talented designer: Murray Karl Hebert,who’s from Austin and is now based in France. I randomly found his work on Pinterest while searching for an image and was very impressed with his portfolio. While reading his profile realized he used to work for a company Aaron has been in contact with. It’s a small world after all!

Mismatched Earrings

Written by . Filed under Fashion. Tagged , , . 1 Comment.

I did a guest post for a fellow texas blogger Cardigan Junkie about earring must haves. I absolutely fell in love with these mismatched earrings from Mocuin, they’re perfectly imperfect. I simply adore how these earrings translate a style of simplicity with glam while being equally earthy.

Daydreaming of Spring

Written by . Filed under Fashion. Tagged , . No comments.

Cough drops, hot tea, cough syrup, EmergenC, Kleenex and repeat. That has been the vicious cycle of my cold this week, so miserable. I haven’t been sick in so long and I find myself resenting this cold weather (The 1 month that we get) . I would rather trade this sore throat in for a sun burn. Can we please go back to flip flop weather? Also ready to ditch these knits for some bright spring threads such as Heidi Merrick’s 2012 Spring collection.
