W.O.W

I love how this is a bit..medieval (the painting & drapes) but has that gorgeous modern pendant light. I can just see it as my secret reading corner...

Pola!

Still addicted. This is of my lovely parents last year at Dee Why beach.

the raquel allegra/camille/rumi shredded top

I decided to try out this technique last night. After a false start (ribbed fabric doesn't work...) I made some headway on an old royal blue Supre singlet. I think it looks all right, but my sister's comment was 'ew' when she saw it.

I wanted to have two panels running up the sides, but it was too hard to keep them running straight.

Charcoal, olive and red-orange

Kind of military, sophisticated vibe

Random Colour Combo #2

I almost forgot I'd started this...

Duck-egg blue, off-white, black and sky blue. Perfect for a vintage wedding. I especially love old cars in that pale bluey green colour.

Like so inspired right now: Part 2 {Wedding Blogs}

I think if my mom had seen me blogging about my wedding before, she would have been scared. Very scared. But oddly, now that I'm older than she was when she got married (by about 10 days), she seems more open to conversations about weddings. My wedding to be precise. It always seems to start off with "Omg I was reading reading this wedding blog the other day and..."

I especially like looking at all the graphic design details - invites, order of service, menus, place cards. And it's fun dreaming up colour combinations. My favourite wedding blogs:

Snippet & Ink

Love & Splendor

Vintage Glam

Jesse & Deanna

I've been lacking inspiration for a long long time. Who would have thought it would come in the form of typography? If only I'd found these lovely sites before!

I Love Typography

Some font mixing fun

And more fun

I could spend hours here testing my font knowledge, learning about how to start up my own letterpress, looking at old sample books and seeing the latest typographical artwork.
