The big four-oh… Today we leave for a special birthday trip to one of our favorite places, Santa Fe, to celebrate my favorite persons big birthday so on our way out if town I thought I would share with you some of his “weekend” fashion photography. It’s impossible to not be inspired when this is the person you get to lay your head by every night. The most perfect fit EVER. Happy birthday honey.

many of you… probably know of TED talks or conferences but there are still lots of really creative people who don’t and should. I was one of them a year ago. TED talks give the stage to brilliant minds and leaders in the fields of Technology Entertainment and Design for 18 minutes to talk about anything they want. The talks will typically get you to think differently about subjects you are familiar with and inspire you to revisit something in your own world. Above is a talk I enjoyed by Stefan Sagmeister, a well known graphic designer. As a graphic designer myself I get to hear talks like this all the time but what’s cool about TED is that like-minded people get to open their minds to other subjects they they would typically not get to hear about. For example Juan Enriquez was the first speaker at the TEDxSMU conference last Saturday and he spoke about the evolution of altering and reproducing (cloning) the human body and where that will take us in the future. He has a book called Homo Evolutis, Please meet the Next Human Species. It’s pretty mind boggling. Check out more TED talks here and let your mind get boggled a bit!
you my friend… are easy on the eyes. While working on an interior project I fell in love with Emma Laurenson via her stunning Etsy shop Little Print Press. Her color harmonies are perfection and her work kind of has this 70’s vibe about it so we know I dig that. See more of her beautiful work below…
we know… Last night the latest issue of Small Magazine was launched. Every time I am amazed at the insane effort and creativity that oozes out of this group of people — all with real jobs — just ya know “throwing this together” in their not-so-spare time between their rockstar jobs and beautiful children. Anyway - JUST in case you haven’t seen it - check out Issue 20 here and then every back issue until your finger can no longer click. You will enjoy - even if you don’t have little bebes.
about people with animal heads… that I just love. I FINALLY picked up the new Paper City yesterday (great issue) and lo and behold the amazing Maxine Helfman is up to her bizarre and beautiful shinanigans in The Curious Case of Fall. I blogged about the kiddos here, just adore that woman. Check out the full story here or pick up an issue.
