Scarf Face

RT INVENTORY / SCARF FACE 

. . . .

Why put a bird on it when you can put a scarf on it. I'm thinking a good old scarf slash towel is the new pineapple. And the combo of the two is the new cat.  Just sayin'. If you don't know, now you know. Makes me want to sing, in the tune of Single Ladies, "If you liked it then you should have put a scarf on it... oh oh oh oh oh!"

RT INVENTORY / ALL YOU CAN EAT

. . . .

Food photography has come along way since the dusty 1970's cookbooks we used to have in our family. I remember  frequently flipping through my mom's goliath red checkered cookbook filled with sepia toned candied hams and jello molds. My favourite chapter was of course the sweets. Those maraschino topped sugar cookies always called out to me, "Hey girl, let's do this." 

It's been a few years since I've worked on food photography, but I still collect a bunch of wacky conceptual images on my Pinterest moodboard. The more original and crazy, the better. It's how I roll. Nom Nom!

RT INVENTORY / TICKLED PINK

. . . .

Today's Inventory is inspired by Pretty in Pink. Spring is the perfect time to start sporting cotton candy hues. Whether it's a little cap, the perfect bubble gum coloured chair or a dreamy soundtrack inspired by a rosy sunset, I'm tickled pink. Awe shucks. Molly Ringwald, eat your heart out.

Colour Blocked

RT INVENTORY / GEOMETRIC 

. . . .

Let's call today's Inventory, Composition in Rainbow – a technicolor homage to the master of colour blocking, Mondrian. Since my good ol' art history days I've always been a sucker for the abstract.  I say bring on Damien Hirst's polka dots and Barnett Newman's colour fields. High fives for minimal simplicity and graphic prints. Here's just a snippet of my favorite artists and illustrators spreading geometric love.

Tropical Storm

RT INVENTORY / TROPICAL 

. . . .

I'm feelin' a little fruity. Spring is right around the corner and we'll be living it up Blue Hawaii styles in no time. I have to admit, it's one big fruit salad these days with nothing but pineapples, juicy citrus and botanicals popping up everywhere. I love hunting for trends. Lucky for me a large part of my job is to source what's cool. Which is why I'm launching a new post for RT. Introducing Inventory – much like my colour study posts, but with a little something-something. Today, its a curated mood board of tropical style, photography and design. Check out my top ten picks perfect for any humid day. Sunscreen optional.
