Ooooooh. Wanty.
This is why indie gaming is so amazing – it fully realises the amazing potential that game design offers – that of creating from scratch new inhabitable worlds.
In this case: a soft, chunky, watercolour land filled with adorable, fantastical creatures.
homemade swimsuits
(via angry chicken)
Amy @ angry chicken took a crack at making her own versions of the vintage style childrens swimsuits she (and then I) posted about earlier.
The results are amazing! Although I have to say, making your own swimsuit from scratch sounds more than a little wacky and daunting (which kinda just makes me want to do it even more).
miu miu collar diy
(via fieldguided)
You have to love it when somebody figures out how to craftily re-create couture on a budget.
Last seen on a certain famous 14 year old fashonista, the miu miu printed colllar is getting some serious attention. Anabela of fieldguided figured out how to recreate it perfectly on a thriftstore budget (and I do prefer the kitties to the naked ladies – but that’s to be expected).

I haven’t really worn rings (other than my wedding ring) in a decade or so. But there was a period during highschool where I loved them – but only if they clunky, chunky and plastic. Something about them just made me happy – and still kinda does.
These are totally the modern, upscale version of the glow-in-the-dark versions I wore in grade nine, and some of the gemstones embedded in them are REAL. They’re more wearable art than jewelery, but they are awfully wearable.
Robyn – Cobrastyle (via RobynVEVO)
I know this songs pretty old at this point, but it’s pretty catchy. Plus, Robyn is coming out with a new album soon, so that’s topical.
But more than all that, I’ve never seen the video before, and I am very much digging it. Something about big, colourful, watercolour messes is very compelling to me right now.
Gossip girls sketch (by beth maher)
Some little character sketches I did while watching Gossip Girl last night (we’re behind by a few episodes though).
Those gals are just as fun to draw as I had a feeling they’d be. The gloriousness of the costuming goes without saying, but all the wild, flowing hairstyles are pretty great too.
Slice Precision Cutter
(via Slice)
I bought this handy little cutter recently while I was out and about, and it has already proved itself pretty useful.
Not only is it cute, it is sturdy, has a lid that actually stays on, and it feels comfy to hold and use.
But none of that beats the fact that it has a tiny ceramic blade. Ceramic blades are sharper than sharp, and stay that way. If you’ve ever tackled paper products with an x-acto knife you know how annoying – and even dangerous – a dull blade can be.
It pretty much rocks my paper cutting world (and my world involves a surprising amount of paper cutting). This thing is the definition of good design.
dreamy coloured satchels
(via Cambridge Satchel Company)
I’m kinda super sad I didn’t know about this company earlier. Like, say, 2 years ago when I was searching for THE PERFECT BAG.
Because this is kinda it.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I love my Moop Bag.
And frankly, nothing could replace the place in my heart currently taken by the gorgeous sky-blue-leather and brown-speckled-resin Orla Kiely darling I got in Paris.
But these little satchels… They are perfect. Classic and classy and British and well-designed and sturdy and reasonably priced and in Super! Fun! Colours!
Whew…
That Hideous Strength
(via Melinda Josie)
This week I visited Lauchie Reid’s first solo art show at Narwhal Art Projects here in Toronto.
Lauchie is actually an old friend. He went to high school with Liam, and I had heard many a tale of his escapades, long before I met him.
When I finally did meet him, I wasn’t just introduced to him, but to his art (along with the art collective he is a part of: Team Macho).
His art: is amazing. I think it pretty much has everything going for it possibly could – it’s funny, it’s beautifully rendered, it’s mysterious, it makes you think, it makes you feel, it is Art with a capital A – but you could still hang it on your wall over your couch and it would make you really happy (well, most of it anyways… some of it’s a little too creepy – for me anyways).
I always support my friends in their artistic endeavors, because I know how hard it is to put yourself out there, but even if Lauchie weren’t my friend I would seek out and support his work. It’s that good.
You should go see it while you can.

Maybe I’m a little bit of a Kanye Apologist. He might be completely out of hand insane.
But.
He still makes good music.
And he’s got GREAT style.
For those two reasons I give him a pass (although it helps that I pretty much ignore everything he says and does outside of these realms).
So these shoes? I would wear them. They’re too pretty not to be worn. Just look at the things! Pretty.

Such exciting, beautiful things are happening in the world of indie gaming. This ones for the iPhone.
Hot Dogs!

I love Lucy Knisley. I already own (and love) her cheese t-shirt. Why don’t I own this yet?
playful typography
(via Bird And Banner)
So maybe I don’t understand German – I do understand that this playful typography design by Bygg Studio is a lot of fun. Perfectly appropriate for the playground snack bar it was designed for.
styling by Camilla Krishnaswamy
(via Agent Bauer)
This weird 1930’s Chinatown combination of almost-fluorescent-bright colours and faded vintage chinoiserie is my absolute favourite. My living room would tell you the same story. I actually have an old chinese beauty product poster (with one of those gorgeous “Shanghai Girls” on it) kicking around someplace that desperately needs to be framed and hung.
For whatever reason I want to live like this.
posy necklace
(via nest pretty things)
I have spent a while staring at this necklace, coming up with ways to re-create it on my own. It is almost too ridiculously pretty-pretty, I feel it might look a little silly worn with all but the most minimalist of outfits.
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Home
You can’t not love this song. It’s like the perfect Johnny Cash and June Carter duet there never was (with a little Mamma’s and the Pappas thrown in for good measure).
The video then, is pretty perfect too – Super 8 hippies hanging in the desert. Makes sense to me.
dottie angel’s house
(via seesaw designs)
At the moment, I am really feeling quite compelled by softened, faded, vintage tones like these. What I love about this image is the way the faded tones pop against the modern clean lines of the same era. It’s an interesting juxtaposition of two very different – and yet contemporary – design aesthetics.
