I think I'm over trying to find beautiful photos on flickr each week. I mean, I see amazing, inspiring images all over the entire web. So, this week's mosaic is comprised of photos I've faved using [+] ImgFave.com, which -- by the way -- you should all be using because it's wonderful. The only unfortunate thing about doing my mosaics this way is that I'm not sure how to easily credit each of these images. For now, you'll just have to visit my [+] ImgFave.com Profile to find links back to the original location. If you happen to see something that's yours, please leave a comment so that I can properly credit your beautiful work. In the meantime, enjoy the inspiration!

[+] ELAN FORM IPHONE CASE | BY SANDY CHILEWICH FOR GRIFFIN
I don't have an iPhone just yet, but when I get one, I'm pretty certain that this would be my case of choice. I love the woven vinyl because it's durable and reminds me of tweed, which I think is both rugged and classy.

[+] RUGBY STRIPE TANGA | AERIE
I'm loving these undies for the sweet-meets-sporty factor. It sure doesn't hurt that these are in Aerie's 5 for $25 price point, so you can mix and match with other styles and colors.

[+] REVERSIBLE TRAINING BEANIE | SMARTWOOL
I know working out isn't about being cute, but it sure wouldn't hurt to have a stylish pink beanie keepin' my nugget warm.

[+] LEWIS SLOUCH CLOG | IRREGULAR CHOICE
I'm not sure I could pull them off due to the girth of my trunks paired with my unfortunate height, but I find myself completely smitten with these clogs.

[+] OWL HOODIE | BOYGIRLPARTY
Totally, totally smitten with this adorably snuggly hoodie. I'm pretty certain I can get on board with just about anything that has a boygirlparty illustration on it.

[+] MINI CARD SET | PH DESIGN
Mini cards with vintage flair and gorgeous birds? Yes please!

wednesday.website : : book cover archive

Um, hello? How many things can inspire me from one freakin' website? If you're in need of some gorgeous designs that will keep you busy for hours, check out [+] BookCoverArchive.com -- I promise you won't be disappointed.

tuesday.typeface : : desoto

This baby caught my eye as I was checking out some of the Veer.com staffers picks for best 2009 typefaces. I'm particularly smitten with the "N" -- it's divine.

Warm and inviting — De Soto is a titling face sure to ad a touch of grace to many projects. Its name and inspiration come from a few letters in a 1958 DeSoto magazine advertisement. Many automobile ads back then used wide faces to create a feeling of luxury and elegance. DeSoto gives you that same feeling, but in a more contemporary fashion.

saturday morning cereal bar

Spent my Saturday morning working at [+] Java Break and chowing down a tasty bowl of Cheerios with banana slices, mini mallows and a hot cup of coffee. There's something really wonderful about living 1.5 blocks away from a 24-hour coffee shop with a fabulous atmosphere and a cereal bar.

a little updating

I think one of the reasons I was so bad about blogging toward the end of last year was because I'd been growing tired of the overall appearance around here. Since then I've been itching to do some renovations but hadn't felt inspired until today.

I stumbled across the cards shown above when browsing through the shop over at [+] Old School Stationers. These cards are adorable and I was immediately inspired by the color palette, so I jumped on that inspiration. Don't get me wrong, light blue and red are still big time faves, but I couldn't resist the beautiful orange, gray, brown, mint and yellow combo.

I'm not sure how far I'll take the renovations so please excuse any clunkiness and inconsistencies until I decide.
