With all this hot weather we’ve been having, I’m starting to get used to what will be my reality for the next 4 months. Along with the high temperatures and long sunny days, Summer also brings along popsicles, pool parties, shorts, and all things bring and colorful. All together I guess it’s not so bad. Here are some things I’m wishing for this summer.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m primarily a web designer, although a do a lot of branding too. I don’t post a lot about that huge part of my life here, and so I thought I’d change it up, and start sharing more of that with you. Most people now days need a brand a website, so I hope I can be a source of information and inspiration if you’re trying to rebrand, build a brand from the ground up, need a new website, or are in the industry yourself.

I’m starting things out slow with some sites I just think are beautiful.

Mercer Tavern // I really love the monochromatic color palette and the modular design. Each box has it’s own information, laid out in it’s own way, but it all works together.

Emporium Pies // This is such a beautiful site. The photography is gorgeous, and the layout is simple. A user is able to get the information fast, which is the most important thing.

Ever Lovin’ Press // This is a really simple portfolio type site. The colors are really great, and it doesn’t hurt that their work is awesome. It makes you want to click to see more.

Cirq // This site is different, and that’s why it works. It looks like an old newspaper or something. I love the use of color, and all the vintage type. Don’t be afraid to step outside the box, and change things up.

I’ve started a pinboard all about web design so follow along if you’re at all interested. And let me know if there’s anything you want me to address or post about in the future! This is going to be fun.

Mustard is one of my favorite colors for fall. It’s bright, neutral, and warm all at the same time. You just can’t go wrong. Here are some of my favorite mustard items for the season.

Happy Back-to-School! I’ve told you before of my slight obsession with office supplies. Going back to school shopping was an event I looked forward to every August. Even though I won’t be going back to school this year, I will be redesigning my office (more on that later) and can’t wait to pick up some new supplies! Freshly sharpened pencils, notebooks, and washi tape always get the creative juices flowing!

Check out these finds for your office or your locker.

It’s been a while since I did a color post, and after last week I’ve been thinking a lot about mint. I’ve always loved this color. It’s cool and refreshing, and can either be bright and vibrant, or pastel and subtle. Besides, mint makes me think of ice cream and mojitos—and that’s never a bad thing!

Tell me, are you lovin’ mint as much as I am?

Last week I was complaining about not having any work appropriate shorts. Well with this weather my 2 pairs of cute, non plastic, not old sandals are just not cutting it for the office either. Pinterest to the rescue! This post practically wrote itself. I pin a lot of sandals.

Do you guys have this problem at your job? Which ones below are your favorites?

It’s getting toasty here in LA and I’m having a problem figuring out what to wear to work. It’s absolutely shorts weather, and even though my job has a laid-back vibe, I would still feel uncomfortable in “Daisy Duke’s”. The fact of the matter is that I don’t have any shorts suitable for anything other than the beach or the pool.

So I did a little research (on Pinterest of course) and found some cute shorts that fit the bill. I think it’s time to go shopping!
