gasp!

Just when the days got rainier.. I FOUND HER! I saw her in a Parisian boutique, last October and I didn't get her. But I'm wondering if I should, now!

Available at FredFlare.

Oh, man. The rainy, foggy and cloudy weather is back. It's always been my favorite! It reminds me of happy, cozy memories of reading in the sheets and walking under the umbrella with my babysitter, growing up.

Now, these days consist of pumpkin pie, coffee and work.

I do miss the reading!

Look what I got for my birthday from Justin! Aside from the routine 4 layer raspberry iced poppyseed cake he takes me for at Rick's Diner in Sacramento, he got me the Small Stakes Poster book.

Yay! Check that off my wishlist! I love it so much and droll on it so much. Jason Munn's aesthetic is abstract yet communicates the feeling of music. His work feels vintage and illustrative. Of course, I love it.

He has a true gift. And I thank my Justin for his gift!

One of my favorite stores to visit, looking for concept inspiration!

Check these out. TOTALLY want these!

Polaroid Post-Its

These gorgeous, delicious, luxurious bookmarks! Would be amazing for all those poli sci books I still want to finish!

And, of course... this one is still being sold. When I first saw it, I freaked out.

It's gotten a lot of attention, since.

Also, working on my design signature for my portfolio class (finally!). I can't wait to share my progress with you.

Working on a lot, lately. Just finished another quarter with all As (I'm anticipating). My favorite was my branding class in which I had two awesome teachers (Holly Hadley and Joanne Tepper-Safren). They fed us well and taught us so much. We loved that class. I'm thinking about even pitching some designs I did to the actual places I fictionally redesigned for!

Also when it comes to branding, please stop by the wonderful Rockin' Cupcake Cafe in Folsom. I did the logo, menuboard, mission statement, product cards and shirts. I hope I get to do more because it is a fun system to design for! I mean, come on! Cupcakes, man! And music! I also helped a little with the environmental design. My teacher and classmates are already addicted. My classmates are addicted to the mocha, for sure! (http://www.yelp.com/biz/rockin-cupcake-cafe-folsom)

I am also working on three other branding projects... so this break I'm planning to go all bohemian: frugal, pondering love, reading a ton of books I checked out, writing poetry, traveling photoshoots of my friends, and art art art art art!!! I'm starting to go deeper into some really philosophical questions I have about my generation and I'm going to dip into collage.

Tea at my dream ModHouse

I am legitimately in love with these kawaii tea sets. I remember when I was about 5 or 6 that I was begging for a teaset. When I got one, I was thrilled!

However, I quickly realized there wasn't anyone to have tea parties with but my nanny when she wasn't busy or my stuffed animals who weren't quite interactive.

So while I placed the girly appliques that came with the teaset on the teaset, I also placed dinosaur stickers on it so that I could get my brother to play. But he didn't.
