Pattern of the Day: Summer Glee

Today's Pattern of the Day is called Summer Glee. With all this beautiful summer weather coming around, how can I not be inspired to make some bright and happy patterns! Hope everyone is having a beautiful day! 

Pattern of the Day: Summer Cheer

Happy Monday everyone! Today's pattern of the day is Summer Cheer. This summer brings new inspiration, new beginnings, and renewed happiness. I am working on this pattern for my new summer collection, which I am very excited about! I will update my progress on my collection here on my blog. 

Vogue Japan Angels SS 2013 Spreads

Here are some spreads from the SS 2013 issue of Vogue Japan Angels. This issue is full of kids fashion and kids rooms. I love the photography and the styling! Some of the spreads are so fun too, like the last photo. So creative and cute!

Vogue Japan May 2013 Spreads

Here are some spreads from the Vogue Japan May 2013 issue that I really like. I just love how playful the styling is, especially the mix of patterns and color. I wish I was so bold to wear some of these outfits! I have found the photography in this edition is just beautiful- even the concept of a giant Hello Kitty is just plain awesome! 

Aquarian

I started out this painting, Aquarian as a drawing on Fresh Paint and I wanted to play with adding minimal color through hand-drawn patterns and digital patterns. I really like this color palette of neutrals with pops of pastel pink/blue and teal. 

Marimekko Fabric Printing Process Video

I am so inspired by designers who really push the boundaries of what their art can be applied to. Marimekko is so awesome at doing this- from home textiles to runway to anything and everything in between, she is a huge inspiration to me. Check out this beautifully-made video of her fabrics being printed. So cool! Makes me want to create more awesome pattern designs!

Vogue Japan May 2013 Issue!

I spent a little time in Little Tokyo today and stopped by a little bookstore called Kinokuniya. They carry a whole bunch of Japanese edition fashion magazines (and other magazines/books), and I couldn't help but pick up this issue of Vogue Japan for May 2013. This issue came with a Vogue Japan Angels S/S 2013 featuring fashion for kids. It also came with a gift: a small zipper pouch from Chloe and a sample of the Centifolia Rose Cream!  Very cool bonus! I love Vogue Japan because of the gorgeous layout, and not to mention the amazing photography. I always find great inspiration for prints, pattern, and color.

Apparel Print Design Concept

 This concept is inspired by Cynthia Rowley's SP13 Confetti Print, which I absolutely love.

Neutral Nest Mood Board/ Design

I am really into the neutral color palette right now, and I saw some cool furniture pieces on Anthropologie. I got inspired and started doodling, the bottom two are some sketchbook pieces in a monochromatic palette.
