Fabulous Design Inspiration - with a Sales Tag!

I'm always in love with finding a site that can inspire me on multiple levels. I always want to create something after visiting this particular website - and you gotta' love the fresh content & the designer layout! *sigh* ...in love.

This little "shin-diggy" actually piques my curiosity though! I go in there to "window shop" and to see what I absolutely MUST splurge on regardless if I knew I even wanted it or not! And the sweetest part of the entire experience? The sales tag. :D

Tooting their own horn as a site offering "daily design inspirations & sales at up to 70% off retail", I'm hooked to Fab.com. Let's just face it. You're definitely going to go wanna' visit. You're going to fall in love with half - if not all - the products featured, and then you'll be back to thank me. So just click this little link here and request an invitation to join! { Yes, it's by invitation-only! But it's FREE! }

I've attached a few of "today's" favorites! I love, love, LOVE journals, quirky posters & tshirts, fun tote bags, funny books & a few extras in between. TELL me that doesn't inspire you in some kinda' way?!

CraftGawker: Best iPhone Inspiration & DIY Art Discovery App

Considering I was up until about 530am playing on this iPhone app, deftly titled "craftgawker", I just couldn't consciously keep this find to myself!

The app interface is beautiful in its simplicity! Immediately upon opening the app, you're taken into a gallery of products. You can scroll down & choose any item to be taken to its 'details' page, which showcases a larger photo & a mini description. Optionally, you can also perform a general key word search - and believe  me, after scrolling through all the cool projects, you'll want to narrow things down!

Once you pinpoint your hearts desire { *swoon* } you'll be able to see the original source page. And this is possibly the best part, because almost every item I've found has been attached to a DIY tutorial! YAY!

> Visit this link to download app.

> Don't have an iPhone or another compatible phone? Not to worry! You can also view the fabulous arts & craft inspirations online at www.craftgawker.com

Some of my personal favorite finds include:
- Baby's Sushi Costume
- Leather iPhone Case
- Paper Feathers
- Handmade Leather Journals
- Repurposed Newspaper Bags
- Paper Art Necklace
- Oversized Wall Mural

October's Orange - Pink Fashion Slushie!

It's halloween, but it's also breast cancer awareness month! So that means I get to be eclectic this month (yay!).

My latest inspiration is this orange-pink fashion combination. I love the bright tones paired down with the more "sturdy" black accent.

Not sure about you, but I know I'd definitely rock this look for Halloween. As in a heartbeat! The look is simple to pull off, there's not much mess or makeup to put on, and you can re-use almost every single item in the outfit on a more regular basis! Utilitarian fits perfectly with my needs, especially since I love to mix & match.

And I don't know... I find that "simple" staples kind of tie in much nicer together. And that's from a graphic designer's perspective! <3

Simply stated... I'm in love with Sugar Pop Boutique Jewelry!

How amazing is high quality .925 sterling silver jewelry?! I just want to give a quick little (shameless) plug to SugarPopBoutique.com. What I love most about this designer boutique theme is the fact that all of the marketing materials are crisp & clean.

The colors are simple and understated, but yet still give a nice "pop" against the similar undertones of the jewelry. How did that happen...? I'm sure it's the typography & the smart placement of background colors! And don't get me started on the main website tumblr template. It's super simple, but it works. The jewelry is showcased like it was intended. Great  use of white space!

Free iPhone Wallpapers!

As part of my new website "revamp", I decided to create something just for fun! And what better way to curve some of that "design appetite" than to create something fabulous & funky with Photoshop?!

Since I just can't put my iPhone down (unless I'm on my laptop, of course), I decided to create a new line of iPhone wallpapers. Currently there are about 10 designs, with even funkier designs coming soon! Let's just say it's going to be an ongoing project. I can't help but create! :D

You can view the free designs on my Flickr Photostream, under the "iPhone Wallpapers" Set.

Fab & funky hand-drawn illustrations make for a fabulous wallet!

I'm in love with this chic "taxi wallet" by Alicia Klein! I think it combines the love of design with a dash of illustration fun for a cool, funky exterior that screams "buy me NOW!".




I definitely want one and it's inspired me to create a few new hand-drawn illustrations of my own... look for those designs soon! I may just plug them on a tshirt, you never know ;) <3 <3 <3
