through rain

I love this set from Ti.mo. Makes me feel like I'm right at home.

sailing into the long weekend

A photo from last Sunday's failed bokeh-themed shoot with some friends due to mother nature's inability to cooperate. This was taken in the U-District right before I was heading home from dinner. Hopefully, my next attempt to try this boat bokeh will happen atop Kite Hill.

It's been a while since I've taken my DSLR out to play. It used to be quite frequent. But not so much lately...

So this is a note to myself to pick up a camera, of any kind, and take photos more often. Then share them.

Have a delightful 3-day weekend mydears!

Lovely colors and details by Christine Tenenholtz of Red Hot Pottery.

naomilingerie

I've never worn an eye mask to sleep before (and probably never will), but these ones from Naomilingerie are so cute and adorable that I want to get one just because. (Spotted on the Featured Seller section of Etsy.)

toideloi + too much information

These modular toy houses from Toideloi look like fun! And did I mention they're stackable? Cool beans. (Photography by Kevin Wong, who also happens to be my good friend.)

Overheard this in the office today:

"If I was a guy I would have the equivalent of man boobs."

inaluxe

I love the playful and retro qualities of inaluxe by Kristina Sostarko. Her use of shapes and lines are so eye-catching!

papers + patterns

I've been cutting and sorting a lot of envelopes with security patterns this weekend. So many different  patterns, textures, and color variations for something that's seemingly mundane and overlooked. And once they're cut and sorted, they don't look like they were envelopes to begin with; they've transcended to become something more.

I have some fun plans for these pretty papers, including projects for the shop. Stay tuned...

anything + fye

I love love love the designs of these desktop accessories by ANYTHING, a collaboration between UK designer Michael Sodeau and Japanese company Suikosha. So simple and handsome, don't cha think?

. . . . .

Yay to the weekend!

How rich ARE you? Find out using the nifty little meter and see where you stand in comparison to the rest of the world.

Love ducks? Love photography? Love comics? If you answer yes to all (or any) of those, then What The Duck is callin' your name (sent from a friend).

Classic + timeless bags from Ally Capellino.

. . . . .

So today, instead of working, some of my coworkers decided to draw everybody as their fast food alter ego.

I have been dubbed as the "Asian Wendy."

Time to go endorse my new, corporate image.

packaging by corinne pant

Loving these packaging designs from Canadian-based, student designer Corinne Pant. I would be the coolest kid in the office if I had one of those tissue packets in my handbag. (Headphone image seen on Lovely Package, via UQAM.)
