September Around The Web

Fall is officially upon us! While we are just now heading into the colder months, Kate Spade's #missadventure Episode 3 has me in the holiday spirit a little early. If you haven't seen it, take a look and enjoy some other links I discovered around the web this month: 

  • Mapiful — Now if only I could decide which city / where I would hang my print.

  • If you are a fan of podcasts check out Limetown. One of my new favorites. 

  • Look at all these beautiful Hallmark Signature cards available online!

  • I love Kelly's first outfit in her recent Studio DIY post. 

  • If you browse online long enough eventually you will purchase something. This month it might end up being this Lulu & Georgia rug. 

  • One of my favorite recent pins. 

  • Think.Make.Share's DIY tutorial is inspiring me to get going on handmade Christmas gifts. 

  • I have started using the Five-Minute Journal. While I haven't been completely consistent yet, I have found it meaningful to be grateful on a daily basis. 

  • Last, but not least, enjoy this JR JR song.

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!
