Pretty Things Friday

It hasn't been such a great week for me, but thank god it's Friday...

Pretty hipster snuggie from Urban Outfitters, of course.


Looks pretty delish.


It's almost time for some pretty springtime flowers. Daffodils are my favorite.


Paris is PRETTY!


Pretty cute.


This is just plain pretty.


Pretty much me and Jesse.


Pretty realistic banana-boxes.


This pretty much looks like Oneonta, NY


One of these days I will figure out the bokeh so I can make pretty pictures like these.


Pretty paper chandelier.


Pretty flowery nails. I want these. And the sunglasses.


Skulls can be pretty too.


Finally... me being not-so-pretty at work.

Octopus... the Art Meme

For some reason octopi (octopusses...?) keep showing up in art all over the place. Must be a new art meme.
Anyway, here are a few pieces from Hello Wilson.

I love the simple colors and the elaborate design and linework. So pretty...

Splashing!

Wow these are really awesome pictures of splashing coffee and cookies!
From De Vetpan Studios...

Logo Lundi

After a nice four day weekend due to massive amounts of snow, it's back to work and back to mah bloggg. Here are a couple of amazing logos that I've found on the webz. Hope you enjoy!

I've seen this on some Bahamas commercials... I just love the different colors and how they simplified the shape of the islands to this design.


Elephants are one of the coolest animals ever, plus the origami & folded paper design is really in style.


Another origami style logo:


I don't know what this company is, but I just like it.


I love leaves. And double letters.


This is such a delish logo...


So simple but fun.


I love the style that graphics are leaning towards. You can see it everywhere from Stop&Shop and Walmart's new logos to those cute Pillsbury commercials. I've been reading some criticism about how it's not always possible to be so clean and simple in designs... but either way, I like it and I hope it is able to stay for a while.

Pretty Things Friday & Another Snow Day!

Another Friday... another snow day... So here it goes...

Pretty crazy-good! From Dark Mind, Bright Future:


I am pretty into suitcases recently. From Desire to Inspire:


Pretty hello kitty chainsaw. I could so use one of these :)


Pretty Pantone mugs. Why do I love Pantone things so much?


Pretty painted chair. I just found a chair on the street that I want to paint like this one (also I have that mug in "G", pretty perfect!):


Pretty portrait. I think this is so funny...and kind of creepy too:


Pretty freaking adorable:


Happy Friday! Enjoy the snow!

Snow Day & New Shoes

There's a crazy "snowicane" today into tomorrow... which means no work!! Although, that's kind of bittersweet for me. To make things better, the shoes I ordered from Urban Outfitters came today! They fit really well, and they will look really cute with colored tights.

I'm really into beige/neutrals and t-straps lately...


This weather is driving me insane. On one hand it's blizzarding and on the other all the stores are showing spring clothes now!

One of my pictures from today's storm. Would have had more if it didn't start to rain.


Enjoy the snow (if you are on the east coast...)

What I Love on Etsy

Etsy is a really great way to buy and sell handmade jewelry, art, or anything else, for a great price. It's way more special then going to the same old stores all the time... not to mention that whatever you buy from Etsy, you will definitely get a compliment or two.

Here are some of my favorite pieces:

Beautiful vintage lace jewelry from Tree & Kimball


Gorgeous designs and illustrations from LilyMoon


Awesome vintage clothing and accessories from Lucky Vintage Seattle


And finally I just have to advertise my own Etsy page, Gabrielle Brittney


Have a good Wednesday, all!

Logo Lundi

C'est lundi once again. My first post in Logo Lundi is going to be creative coffee logos (appropriate for Monday... and because I'm tired and could really use some right now...)

Here are my faves that were highlighted in this blog.

This one's my favorite:


This one is because I'm partial to Firenze:


Love this one:


Very much my style:


Enjoy your Monday all!
