Ana Montiel

Ana Montiel is a print designer, as well as a free lance art director and designer. She is based in London and all of her patterns are done by hand. Ana also does beautiful illustrative work. I love how abstract her work is. There are many geometric shapes in her patterns but she achieves them in a very organic way with color and placement creating so much movement in her prints. Great work Ana, and keep up the good work! Check out her website and her blog for more.

Fossil Finds

I am absolutely loving what I've spotted at Fossil. I recently visited an accessory store and a clothing store, and I seriously wanted to buy out everything in each one.  Here are a few things I was eyeing while I browsed. Enjoy!

New Look!

Hey Guys!

I know my blog is looking a little wonky right now, but I was checking out the new editing features and I've decided to give the blog a little face lift. I'm currently working on a new header and pattern for my background.  I will be playing around with different looks throughout the week and when I settle for one, I would love love some feedback!  Thanks for being patient :)

New at Galison

I've shared my love for Galison products in the past, and wanted to share some new products that are currently out! Who doesn't love little keepsake boxes? The Seasons in Bloom is a new collection, and they are beautiful.  I own the Vincent one, and love it.  I've displayed it every year in my dorm room.

Happy Happy Holidays!

I everyone! I just got back from celebrating Thanksgiving at the beach, and I'm still stuffed from all of the food! It's been a while, but now I have some time to relax while I'm home away from a busy schedule, just to enjoy the holidays.  Christmas is creeping around the corner, and I couldn't be happier because it's my favorite time of year. What's on your wish list this Christmas? Do you have any fun projects planned?

Here is a fun DIY gift from Anthropologie definitely worth giving a friend if they are looking for a fun project this season in the warmth of their own home.

Gathering Spriggs by Heather Thompson

Hi everyone,  I hope your weekends were relaxing and productive at the same time!  Let's start out our week with some beauty shall we?

Heather Thompson, an artist and designer based out Nashville, TN (one of my favorite places in TN) is the writer of the blog Gathering Spriggs, and has worked as a decorative painter/ faux finisher in homes and businesses in TN.

If you haven't stumbled across her blog already, I am so happy I could introduce you to it. I have found myself reading and going to her blog numerous amounts of times for inspiration in the past few weeks, and I can not get over how gorgeous and beautiful everything is.  Inspirational articles about decor, color trends, design, shops, and more are found that inspire Heather day to day, and I am so happy that she is sharing all of it with us.

 I also urge you take the time to visit her Etsy shops, Gathering Spriggs, and Gathering Vintage to see her personal work!
