Something pretty

The hope that spring is just around the corner...  Talk about a blah Monday, I desperately needed this pick-me-up.  This photo belongs to gracefullady so be sure to check out her flickr for some more gorgeous spring photos.

Featured Designer

I recently had to feature a graphic designer that inspires me for a class project, and in an instant I knew I would choose Breanna.  She is a full time freelance graphic designer at the young age of 24, has a killer aesthetic and has already accomplished so much in her career.  I put together the following layout to tell her story, feature three of her projects, and to explain how she inspires my own work.   Check out her blog here, or check out the rest of her portfolio here!

Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder...

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  Being bi-coastal from the love of your life on this day is like salt in the wound to a long distance relationship.  But luckily spring break is just around the corner!  In the meantime I've found other things to crush on... why wear your heart on your sleeve when it could be on your lobes in mint? Or around your finger crown style... or slung around your neck for a casual vibe...

All of these jewels were found through Etsy, one of my favorite sites for adorable, personalized dainty jewelery.  Tons of great gifts for friends, family and of course yourself.  Enjoy your day and spread the love.
