A friend sent me Matt & Kim's new music video for their song Lessons Learned. At first I thought the whole stunt was staged, but it is in fact very real (minus the ending) and... very liberating.

Inspiration for my website.

Here are a few images I found on one of my favorite design blogs - Creature Comforts. I'm hoping to create a similar mood board for my website. I love these colors and the antique feel of the prints. Please feel free to send more inspiring images my way. Thank you.

Etsy Love for the Day

I found these great prints by Stephanie Levy on Etsy.com. She uses bright colors, fun patterns, line illustration, and collages to create these beautiful interiors. A few of these images almost remind me of Henri Matisse (one of my personal favs!) In fact, one of the images below is titled Matisse's Bedroom. Best of all, her prints are pretty inexpensive - it might be a good present for Mother's Day.

I really like this quote.

Still laughing...

I'm reliving college vicariously through Text From Last Night.com.
It's hysterical, enjoy!

Sprint's NOW Network

I really like the new Sprint campaign - the NOW Network (by Goodby, Silverstein, & Partners). Sprint is the world's 3rd largest cellular network and has a lot of competition with AT&T and Verizon's strong ad campaigns. But I think the idea of the NOW Network is innovative and very interactive, letting Sprint customers connect with what's going on in the world around them. The homepage is super fun. In case you were wondering how many babies were being born today, it will let you know. Right now it's 8,874. What's the most commonly used word? It's "the." And how many tons of eggs are being produced today? Yep, they'll tell you that too. The TV commercials are great as well. So check out the website or watch the video below - it's what everyone is doing, NOW.

Bootsals or Bandals? Which is it?

I love boots. I would wear them all year round if the heat wasn't a factor. So you can imagine my excitement when I discovered and purchased these. Apparently, someone was feeling the same way and decided to do something about.
