Colorstrology
Last week I used Pantone’s Colorstrology site to find out my birthday color. Funny enough, considering where I’m from, my color is Bayou. I think the description is pretty spot on.
Erik Johansson
Digital Photography School recently introduced me to Swedish photographer Erik Johannson.
This one made me laugh.
If you’re interested in seeing how Erik plans his “impossible” photographs, check out his TED talk.

Art I Heart: Tattly Designy Temporary Tattoos
Last month I was a slacker and didn’t complete my “six pieces of art in six months” goal. So, I finished it this weekend instead. I’m in love with Tattly tattoos. Here’s my first piece of temporary body art by Gemma Correll.
My art buying will never stop, but I’ll be crossing an item off my Mighty Life List: Buy six pieces of art in six (or seven, whatever) months. I didn’t plan for all six to be women artists/designers, but it’s cool that they were. Here are the other five artists/designers: Fifi du Vie, Cassia Beck, Elle Moss, Lisa Congdon, and Ray Eames.
The Sprinkles Cupcake ATM
You guys. How awesome is this? It’s an ATM for CUPCAKES! And it’s pink! Oh, Sprinkles. I love you for this.
A Lesson in Stacks
Bloggers. Design enthusiasts. Collectors. Back in the olden days before Pinterest, we could only rip stuff out of magazines that we liked, wanted, or were inspired by in some way. Most of us (I would think) still do this, and sometimes we end up with huge stacks of glossy images that we were supposed to research further, share with our readers, friends, or Pinterest followers, or buy for ourselves/someone else. The problem with this practice is that by the time we make it to certain items in the stack, we no longer like the inspirational image, can’t remember which of the items we meant to research, or it just isn’t relevant any more.
This product is no longer available. I don’t remember which magazine I tore it from, and there are no photographer or stylist credits on the front or back of it. I’m sure I could never wear this sweater in a way that was the least bit flattering. The season for it is fading fast. Still, I wanted to share it with you as something I admired, at some point in time.
