Fig 48 Pin terest

I am completely loving Pinterest. Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.
Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests. Above is an example of one of my boards - 'Delicious Packaging'. I have many, it's away of keeping all my inspiration categorized and up to date with the latest trends, as a designer - this is a perfect tool for me, it allows me endless food for thought. Sign up now, and start pinning.

Fig 47 Ben Howard

Can not get enough of Ben Howard these days his first album was fantastic but his new album - 'Old Pine' makes my insides twist and my head spin, its pure and heart warming and takes me straight back to golden embers on a beach fire with laughter chatter and glowing faces of loved ones, this will be playing on many of my road trips and sunny sat evenings for sure.

Fig 44 HASBEENS

Swedish Hasbeens were the shoe to be seen in at any disco in the 1970's, There making a big come back this summer, I can't wait to get my toes into a pair, my mum had exactly the same ones shown above, wish she kept them, I'm definitely going to keep mine.

Fig 43 I CAN SEE A RAINBOW

I can see a rainbow - I have yet to find the treasure at the end of one but have found many a rainbow which gives me the same joy as a real one -see my three examples above - shower curtain from Anthropologie, tights from Olive Shoppe and a sunset melty image by my favorite photographer Mark Borthwick. I love the colours - how they melt into one another like warm butter or like watching a piece of litmus paper change colour in chemistry lessons.

Fig 42 Fruit Salad

This bouncy optimistic spring mood board is perfect for this time of year, I have named it the Fruit Salad - as the images are just like those delicious pink and orange sweets, It's a pic a mix of Kate Spade, Mark Jacobs, and Rodarte fashion ads and tears from look books. I can almost hear the sound of an ice cream van's jingle, and the smell of summer rain, on to hot to touch tar mac.
Spring is here folks and summers just around the corner - get the colour on and put your blacks and greys to the back of your wardrobe.
