COLOR STUDY / 5

This promotional poster for TWA captures the energy and excitement of New York City perfectly. I want a giant poster of this on my wall, and now I am also remembering how much I miss that beloved city. It is one of my first loves in this world.

Posting is a little light this week as I'm working on a deadline and going on a mini vacation, but I've got lots in store for you next week when life is (sort of) back to normal.

DAILY SKETCHBOOK

Makes me realize how lucky I am to have been so many cool places, and look forward to many more.

GIRLS' WEEKEND

This past weekend I decided to escape the NATO craziness happening in Chicago, and hopped on a train to Michigan to hang with my favorite ladyfriends. It was one of those perfect relaxing weekends: making breakfast burritos together, hanging on the beach, antique shopping, eating seafood on the water and reminiscing about college days. Oh, and dancing. There's always dancing. It really got me pumped for the rest of summer. Despite the fact that we all live in different cities now, it's comforting to know that I still have two incredible, smart women in my life to keep me grounded. I couldn't ask for better friends.

Places to go

It's been a while since I traveled abroad, and I've been feeling a strong urge lately. I feel so much more inspired when I'm in an unfamiliar land. This suitcase from Blue Bernice makes me want to throw a dart at a map and take off! I love it, and for some reason I'm obsessed with luggage. Where would you go if you could right now?
