Blog Roll

I'm sure all of you already have a TON of blogs that you follow, or maybe you don't but are looking for a push to start..... I thought I'd share a few I like :)  Chances are some of you have seen these, so bare with me or skip to the next post!

Trendland - Love love love this one!  Super artsy.  A great mixture of culture, art, design, fashion, music, and photography.  It's really inspirational, they do not skimp on images

Fast Company's Co.Design - Self-described as trying to bridge the fuzzy border between design and business.  Not to fear, it's definitely not just a bunch of boring business articles.  I feel surprised and interested every time I visit.

Amateur Couture - Really great pairings of art and fashion.  Just something nice to look at <3

Inspirational Sites

Lovely UI

Whisk Lamp

I've always loved whisks and other interesting kitchen items.  That's part of why I love this chandelier!!  I also love the simplicity and the intricate shadows it casts.  And the thought that I could possibly make it myself...

The actual product is the Embolada Wall Lamp by Lucas Lacaz Ruiz.  The link will take you to a Studio Marcel Teixeira page which has all sorts of interesting lighting images, among other things.

Piano

I took piano lessons for 11 years of my life before starting university and becoming busy with other things.  I was lucky enough to attend the graduation recital of a good friend of mine from high school.  She plays the piano and is an amazing musician; she is such an inspiration.

Goal: Regain my passion for piano.
Step 1: Get an electric keyboard!  I've already put it on my birthday list, and have set a decent amount of money to buy one myself.
