SEVEN MONTHS

Man, I love this kid. 

SO VERY UNCOOL

Urban Outfitters has been notorious for stealing designs from independent designers and is keeping up the reputation. The latest is jewelry designer and Etsy seller, Stevie Koerner. Urban Outfitters's "I heart destinations" line not only ripped off Koerner's "I heart" designs but even stole copy from her product descriptions. Sad.

Koerner's blog post circulated the the world yesterday. Her story was a trending topic on Twitter and covered by the Huffington Post within hours. It only took ONE day, 24 hours, for Urban Outfitters to pull the product line and they have yet to comment. I'm loving the power of social media and just a few passionate voices!

DRAW IT YOURSELF

I would love to do this with Layne when she's older!
What kid wouldn't love to do this - okay, what adult wouldn't!


FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

This selection of prints is really interesting - these are not just stripes of color, they are movie frames. Each print consists of an entire movie, all approximately 180,000 frames. I love the idea of a seemingly abstract print with such a strong story. Literally. You can purchase prints in canvas, as cards, poster, etc.

HOW PINTERESTING



Pinterest has a new logo and I like it. I think it suits the company's personality really well.  I love the subtle detail of the pin in the P. The designers, Michael Deal and Juan Carlos Pagan, wrote some notes on the Pinterest blog about their process.
