Skirting the Issue

The following have been stored in my inspiration folder for a long while now but it's time to share, so here you go!



There are even a few do-it-yourself inspiration for making simple skirts!

Do-it-yourself Puff Skirt from Childhood Flames



Do-it-yourself Pink Panel Skirt from Style Scrapbook



If I ever get around to making my own, I'll definitely show them here.

Note: I will be sharing a lot from my inspiration folder. I've been hoarding so many photos from the web that I've already forgotten their original sources. Once again, I apologize for not giving credit accordingly but feel free to correct me and I will be more than happy to give credit where it's due.

Now is the time to build a brand that is bold and unique

Nubby has completed her 2009 media kit, "What is Nubby" and I'm so happy that she's sharing it. It's definitely a beautiful, compelling package! Most times I have this perception that designers are quite protective of their own branding/marketing that I'm amazed when Nubby has the balls to let everyone in on her process and design. I follow a lot of tutorials and guides on putting together your own marketing package but the process itself becomes clearer when someone actually shows you the work.



Tip of the hat to you Nubby!

Don't hide your jewellery, display them

I am digging the way these displays are put together!



Of course I'll have to start a collection of beautiful jewellery so that they'll be worthy of display. The following is a collection that really drew me in and I saved them in my inspiration folder, but now I'm having a hard time trying to find the original owner or store.



Here are a couple more from my inspiration folder:



I have so many images that I've saved for personal inspiration and I hope to share them here and hope they inspire you too! I'll do my best to post the source but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Happy Canada Day!

Holiday festivities started yesterday as I co-hosted a casual gathering with my roomie. I'm really happy with everyone who came hope that they all had as much fun as I did! Clearly, dancing till 4am without getting a single neighbourly compaint is a sign of how truly awesome we are!

I hope you all have a great holiday, celebrating Canada Day! This one is an oldie but a goodie.



Did someone say beaver?

My Milk Toof by Inhae Renee Lee

Oooh, I came across this does of adorable-ness! I'd describe it to you but Inhae says it better:

"When I was young, I placed my baby teeth under my pillow and when i woke up I'd find a shiny new quarter. But whatever happened to those little teeth? Where did they go? Would I ever see them again?

Many years later, a little tooth was standing at my door. It looked familiar. It's name was ickle. Welcome home, my milk toof!"
