Sometime last year I came across Castle. Immediately I was enthralled by the bright colors and the eclectic feel. Rachel Castle is an artist living in Sydney, Australia focusing on creating objects for the homeware industry. Recently I have found myself following artists and owners of Etsy shops on Instagram, and Rachel Castle is no exception! Visit her website or Instagram and I'm sure you will fall in love with these bright pieces as well!

Bonsai Bliss
I have long had a fascination with bonsai trees. Last Christmas I received my first Juniper Bonsai as a gift and now I am truly hooked. While I knew these plants were not know for being the easiest to care for, I was optimistic I could keep my first tree alive. Unfortunately, my dear tree has become sick and I just today I received my second bonsai in the mail! I had a wonderful experience purchasing this tree from Eastern Leaf. Hopefully I have better luck with my new Ginseng Ficus!

A Blog Begins
Having wanted to begin a blog for some time, there could be no better moment than during Paris Fashion Week! I have always loved browsing photos of the numerous runway shows, and Manish Arora's Spring/Summer 2014 collection immediately grabbed my attention. I fell in love with the colors, the details and the jewelry. As a graphic design student I am constantly inspired by other designers and artists as they use their medium to create. Get to know Manish by visiting his website!
