Stay warm and look as sweet as a cupcake! I found this cute hat and scarf at Shana Logic. Both are handmade with loving care and will for sure get you tons and tons of cutesy compliments!

roxy boots

Short and sweet, I really love these boots!!

Collage Goddess: Claudine Hellmuth

Searching through blogs I found the lovely and talented, Claudine. She not only shares my love for collage and mixed media, but also for Martha Stewart. She created the above collage (the one on the left) of Martha and her beloved Paw Paw and Francesca (look in her purse) as a gift to Martha. So cute right?!

Claudine has her own Etsy shop as well as her own blog. She also appeared on the Martha Show giving a tutorial on how to make her lovable Sitting Pretty Poppets. Lucky!!

Perfect. Inspiring. Packaging.

I absolutely adore Thymes: Bath, Body, and Home products. Not only are the fragrances and products awesome, but the packaging it all comes in is a pure delight. So much detail was put into each bottle, box, and envelope. When you buy a product it's like a a precious keepsake. Each fragrance has its own special design. My favorite is Kimono Rose. I love the combination of patterns, colors, and flowers. The color palette is so soft and lovely and the boxes are folded so uniquely.

Most of the packaging is designed by Duffy & Partners out of Minneapolis. They've worked with other companies like Starbucks, Smartwool, and even designed one of my favorite logos ever for The Islands of The Bahamas. Check em out!

I'm so honored to be interviewed by Nollie, an all girls action sports blog out of Canada. I want to thank Charlotte for taking the time to get in touch with me and giving such an awesome interview!

new roxy to love

Roxy has [finally] updated their [pain in the butt to navigate] website. It has awesome photo galleries of their surf and snow teams as well their clothing and accessory lines. You can also purchase their goods straight from the site. I posted some of my favorite goodies above. Another cool feature is the Roxy Blog, where the roxy girls post info about the latest events, fashion, trends, music, and team.

hello kitty all dressed up

I love these adorable Hello Kitty's all dressed up with sweet patterns. Of course my favorite is the wood grain one. You can order them from Urban. The only bummer (but supposed to be cool thing) is that they are blind boxed, so you can't order your favorite. It's like a surprise party in a box! You won't know which one you're gonna get until you open up the package.

snowdrives

Look how cute this flash drive is! ACP-EP has taken some of the most popular snowboard graphics and applied them to their snowboard shaped flash drives. I have always loved the above burton g-twin graphic designed by National Forest and now I can have my own mini version!

ccs vs. b4bc

Every October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) my favorite charity, B4BC teams up with CCS to make a line of tees to benefit the charity. They're always amazingly designed and fun; and the best part is that when you buy one, all the money goes to a radddddd cause! I posted my faves above, you can check out the whole line here.

Maxwell Dorsey

I love the illustrations of Maxwell Dorsey. I found his cards while shopping at the little stores in Rehoboth Beach, DE. However, I couldn't find much info about him online. Nonetheless, his illustrations are fun and colorful. They're kind of like little puzzles you have to read to figure out. I also adore his hand done type. It's so simple, yet so perfect!
