We’re back from vaca! John and I went to Florida and the Caribbean for Christmas, and missed all of the snowpocalipse that was Seattle last week. Although I miss the 80° weather, sunshine, and endless eating and drinking with my new “cousins” it does feel good to be home.

I purchased a Pro account on Flickr so I could share my pics from the trip with the fam. I’ve been meaning to do this for quite some time, actually. Here’s my photostream.

Spring 2009 Color Trends

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Pantone, the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries (and collaborator on these amazing Pantone phones I saw in Japan), released the super interesting Pantone Fashion Color Report Spring 2009. The report features the top ten colors for women’s fashion for spring ‘09, along with cool designer sketches (like this one) for each color. Read the article here.

Resolutions

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

1. Organize
I am a total pack rat—I have shelves, boxes, closets, and more shelves full of stuff. My boss’s current goal is to “live like she lives in a hotel,” meaning no clutter, things, and stuff. IKEA here I come!

2. Create
This year, I graduated from college and have had more than enough time on my hands to create. But have I been doing it? In 2009, I would like to make something creative at least once a week.

3. Learn
I will learn HTML and CSS like the back of my hand. I will learn HTML and CSS like the back of my hand. I will learn HTML and CSS like the back of my hand.

4. Share
Upload all pictures to Flickr (I bought a Pro account yesterday!) and write on this blog so friends and family can see what I’m up to.

5. Inspire
Speaking of blog, this place will be a spot for me to store and somewhat organize my inspirations.
