I love these Typefight Screenprints
Did you see Lady Gaga's Sound of Music performance?
One of my favorite Lively Show episodes: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results with Jay Papasan ("The One Thing")
Inside Jenny Sharaf's beautiful studio.
Seriously considering ordering one of these of my lovely kitty Otto.

J.Crew Fall/Winter 2015 Collection

February 19, 2015

While I haven't been following Fashion Week as closely as I would have liked, I am once again obsessed with J.Crew's newest collection. The photos shared on their website were just too beautiful not to take note of, and I browsed their entire collection on their Facebook page. The fringe details definitely caught my attention, while the geometric patterned skirt in the photo below is something I would love to buy immediately. Enjoy!

Sign Painters The Movie

February 8, 2015

This past Friday I joined several of my co-workers and went to AIGA KC's screening of Sign Painters: The Movie. I truly recommend this film to anyone who has an interest in hand-lettering, or documentaries in general. It was fascinating to not only watch the sign painters in the film execute their craft, but also to hear their commentary on this traditional skill. Take a look at the trailer for the movie posted below:

Jessica Hische Forever Stamp

I love this interview with Jessica Hische about the lettering she created for the USPS. Perhaps this will be the stamp I use when sending out our wedding invitations... take a look!

Present & Correct

I recently discovered Present & Correct, a lovely company with the slogan "office sundries for the modern workspace." Their offering includes a quirky combination of office supplies, prints, and things for the home. Below are just a few things I would love to have in my office space, if only they shipped the typewriter to the U.S. Enjoy!
