Yes, it’s Tuesday, but sometimes, when you’re celebrating your sister’s birthday you just have to let things slip a bit. We’ve spent the last few days eating pizza and Chipotle and going to the theatre…which to me is the perfect way to celebrate anything! (which by the way, go see Oz if you haven’t already. My brother and sister and I died of laughter through the whole thing.) As I’m working on that secret, awesome project that I mentioned before, I’m reminded of how much I love design and photographs that are deep and thoughtful. There is so much emotion…

I love this week’s pins…the photos, the graphic design. Just love. I will always be grateful to Pinterest (cheesy as it may sound) for allowing people to create a community where beautiful things can be shared and discovered.

I guess I’m a broken record, but hey, that’s okay, right? I especially love the last two photos, for their colors and the SNOW!…

This week I’ve been loving the work of some of my favorite photographers and designers. I love how the internet is a place where you can discover amazing artists and learn from them, even by just studying their creations! I thought I would share some of my favorites with you all. Andria Lindquist. She is the person I look up to the most as a photographer of people, of lives, of stories. What can I say? She’s a master of the art of displaying people’s hearts in the most beautiful of ways, and I always leave her blog in awe…

Currently: I’m on pins and needles waiting for my camera to get here, draining the last drops of my cappuccino and wishing there was more, enjoying this day. Music has been flooding through me all morning and is giving that extra beauty to the day than nothing else can. I’m excited to learn and grow and push myself as a designer and also as a photographer, and I feel sometimes like I’m bursting at the seams with the will to do better and fly higher. You know that feeling when you just want to soak up as much knowledge as…
