i got tumblr

i decided that blogging and pinning and instagramming and tweeting just wasn't quite enough, so i got myself a tumblr too. ha! no seriously, i did. i really meant to share some of my design work so far with you guys on here, but it all felt too bitty for a proper blog, and i didn't want to bore the pants off you. so i'm gonna shove it all on a tumblr instead, for those of you who are interested! there's a link straight to it in my side bar.

hope the first couple of days of 2013 have treated you well!

designer | tom davie

oh hi! sorry it's been a while. the course is going really well, and i'll be able to share some of my work super soon! but everything else is just crazy hectic. i can't believe it's november already, i can just tell this course is going to fly by and it'll be summer 2013 before i know it! and so, i'm spending another saturday night doing homework, le sigh! but annyywaaayyy, here's some work that has inspired me lately... design by tom davie of studio twenty six. totally awesome, yeah? i've been studying typography loads and loads and loads and have a new found respect for the attention to detail that is put into it! i think tom's work is beautiful, clever, creative and fun. so much awesomeness. love it!

designer | amanda jane jones

I'm am really loving this project by amanda jane jones called my better half. Cute photos, simple graphics and funny facts. What's not to love?!

You can see the entire series here. I keep wondering what my funny fact would be. hmmm...

is allergic to raw carrots / 60% of my wardrobe is striped* / danced in the london 2012 olympic opening ceremony

*this is a complete guesstimate/total exaggeration.

designer | the weaver house

So i only recently discovered the weaver house. I know. Where have i beeeeeeen?! I don't know. Twin sisters with the most incredible portfolio of photography and design. There is SO MUCH inspiration to be found in their gorgeous website. Seriously beautiful stuff... if i can ever create anything nearly as beautiful as these I will be a pretty happy girl!

designer | christian lacroix

who knew christian lacroix did stationery? well, not me. but i do now, and i think it's pretty ace. i have a bit of a thing for stationery. i'm also pretty fond of tokyo, or japan in general really. and this tokyo card is awesome. the design, the colours, the gold. i might buy it just to stick it up on my wall. no one's getting this one in the post from me, nope, sorry.

card found at quill london.

moodboard | monochrome

there's something about a bit of black and white that i just love at the moment. it's all that gorgeous scandinavian design i keep seeing on pinterest getting to me. nick and i went to ikea last weekend and everything we bought was black, or white, or black and white. completely by accident. oops. i'd much rather add a bit of colour in my own home, but for some things black and white on it's own, well, it's just so hot right now. no? yeah! and it gave me an excuse to practice indesign making this little mood board, it was pretty simple really! the course is going good so far, and i can just tell i'm going to flippin' love it all, yeay! here's to the weekend, food, wine and homework time... hope you have a good one! x

I am loving the new harvest collection from darling clementine - postcards, tea towels, prints & teacups! I've always loved their designs, but the colours and patterns in this harvest collection are super gorgeous and just my style at the moment. Love me a bit of scandinavian design right now!
