I love collecting beautiful photos...and I love pinterest for making it so much easier to organize and look at them! Here are a few of my favorite images from around the web this week...

Cloud City on the Rooftop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
It's raining here at the moment, which is pretty awesome as it doesn't happen that often and I love rainy days. I'm also wearing a sweatshirt!! It's still 84 out, but I sleep with the AC blasting at about 60, so on not super hot days it stays chilly in here all day. The sweatshirt I just discovered may be actually a childs size....no wonder it fits. Hoping to meet a girlfriend for lavender coffee (it's Ah-mazing and I'm obsessed!!) later, although here in Texas, rainy days tend to be seen as snow days, so we'll see. If we go, I may have to have cupcakes or cookies or something too...it's that kind of day.

I have gone back and forth about bringing the daily image posts back to the blog. I stopped because I was trying to only post original content. Then I brought them back after Pinterest locked my account and lost a board because my account had been "compromised" so I wanted to make sure my favorite images were safe somewhere. Then I stopped because I forgot that I started them again. That last one is pretty sad. So I'll give it another whirl as when I look for an old post and scroll through a month from say 2009, its those posts that I love the most. To see what was inspiring me at that time and remember what I was working on. If thats not a huge part of the life of a designer, than I don't know what is! So they're back.
ps...self hosted wordpress blogs (like this one) now can add instagram photos super easily to posts...yessssssssss!!

Three colors from the Bridal Line!
Another Bridal Line peek
Dinner out with friends...we were waiting for them and decided to have a photo shoot
We tried the Bone Marrow at dinner
Who says Fruit By The Foot is for kids? (or that Adam isn't a kid?)
One of my favorite Manic Trout Necklaces...The Little Secrets Necklace
I started creating Adams "Man Space" as he has moved in with me
To deal with insane population growth, Austin keeps building the roads up higher and higher
It's so easy to get cupcakes in this town that I had time to walk up to the Hey Cupcake trailor and score this beauty while Adam was at the bank
I realized this week that I am walking distance from both Hey Cupcake and Big Top Candy Shop. Kinda scary as I ordered my wedding gown already and have to fit into that size. No yummies unless I walk there!

Love, love, love it. I have no idea where it is, but it reminds me of Antonio Gaudi who was my role model when I was in Architecture School. When my professors told me that there was already one Gaudi in the world, and that was quite enough...I transferred to Art School.

I have no idea what the name of the street really is, but it made me smile the second I looked at it, so I think Happy Street is perfect. I have oodles to catch up on in teh studio today...this weekend was pretty much a wash as I spent Saturday lounging around with Adam and catching up with friends on the phone. And Sunday. Well Sunday I went to my first NFL game. It was pretty incredible, but more that later!

Alright I will preface this by explaining that I didn't sleep that well last night and my allergies are out of control so I'm kind of out of. I think that even without the impairment that I would feel the same way about the gorgeousness of the details of old architecture....I mean look at that!

I for some reason am attracted to certain light in outdoor photos at specific times of year. Is that odd? This is a "Fall" photo. As I now live in a world without seasons there is a fuzzy line to what fall is, as I still have summer light happening here...but I'm sure I will do it forever.

Why is color so widely used in other countries on buildings and so infrequently in the US? It's the first thing I notice when I travel, especially in Caribbean locations...rainbow hued houses on every corner! Here, especially in cities, just boring old grays, tans and the occasional black. Blech. We need more turquoise buildings!
