JAMES JOYCE

–

Two words come to mind when I look at James Joyce's work: iconic and vibrant. I wonder if the artist and designer was ever inspired by Rainbow Brite? But really, who isn't? For more shiny happy art, check out his online shop and super fun ipad and iphone app. Shazam!

Shop Girl

–

I went on a wee little Etsy rampage the other night and picked up 2 super fun necklaces. Oops. I stumbled on the shop The Blue Balloon and couldn't resist the raw crystal and turquoise beaded combo pictured above. Isn't it radical? I love its desert witchy vibe. What did we do before online shopping? I mean, really? There's nothing better than shopping in your yoga pants with a glass or pinot noir.

A Little Lina

Five Blondes & One Brunette

–

I am bias and clearly on team blonde. Which is probably why I'm in love with Lina Scheynius' photography. She's originally from Sweden and living between London and Paris with her 35mm camera in tote. Shooting like a diary entry, Lina's work is so very personal and intimate.

See more on her Flickr.

Day Tripper

I love discovering self-published projects. Just recently I spotted this zine entitled Trippin' in Frankie Magazine. So what's it all about? Well, Trippin' is designed and produced by Mark Trzopek, a graphic designer based in Sydney. It's a lovely collection of his photography captured over a 2 year period while on the road.

I have to admit, when I first saw the waterslide photo I got all nostalgic for Splashdown Park in "Sunny" Tsawwassen! Ah, to be a kid again... Okay, who wants to go on a road trip? I've got a convertible, so all we need are cute head scarves, good tunes and a map to warm destinations. All aboard!
