I can't believe it is already my second fall in STL! I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend.
Commercial Type Talk: STLDW
Paul Barnes, of Commercial Type, began his St. Louis Design Week talk with a quote:
It's not just about the money, it's not just about the art. It was fascinating to hear his perspective on running Commercial Type, and how he works with Christian Schwartz in their offices in New York and London. A longtime Vanity Fair reader, I loved learning about the process of developing typefaces for their brand, and this was just one example from their impressive list of clients. The historical influences in Commercial Type's work are undeniable, but what is rooted in the classical becomes expressive and modern in personal work like Dala Prisma. I love how their employees get one day a week to step away from client work and explore. I found the entire talk inspiring, thanks STLDW for bringing in such an interesting speaker!
Fall Fashion
In an effort to not spend my entire paycheck on new clothes, I decided to round up a few of my favorite fall picks on the blog instead. I have been looking for a new winter coat, and am obsessed with J.Crew's Lady Day Coat (I might have to splurge and go ahead and order it). Enjoy!

Happy Friday!
Meet Me In Paris
A peek at some lettering and illustrations I created for a celebration in Paris!
The Sunflower State
Over Labor Day I drove out to Ted Grinter's Sunflower Field with my sister! I have always wanted to see the giant sunflower field in full bloom, and I finally got my chance! It was even more spectacular than I pictured it to be. If you happen to find yourself near Lawrence, Kansas in the first few weeks of September I highly recommend taking in the sunflower field for yourself. Here are a few snapshots from our trip:
