I Bet You've Missed Me...

...because I haven't posted in over a week. But hey, it was Fall Break so get off my back.

The important thing is, I'm here now (at work) and I'm getting this blogging thing done. 

You Are Welcome.

Photoblogs Galore

I'm not going to start this post with an apology for not posting. Other people are going to do it for me:

I'm sooooo sorry.

Now onto more important things.

1/ Convoy

A photoblog that defines itself as an "Evergrowing collection of stuff I like". And it's stuff I like too. The one issue is that it's a Tumblr blog...and I am a blogspot blogger. This one has me contemplating conversion.

2/ Street Peeper

Oslo

Chicago

New York

 Photoblog that posts images of street fashion from cities like Oslo, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, New York, Tokyo, and even Chicago.

3/ Ruche

Haha, got ya! This isn't a photoblog at all! It's not even a blog! IT'S A STORE! BECAUSE I LOVE SHOPPING! Especially for things I can't afford. Which is most things. That aside, they have some really cute shit.

4/ Flourpot

Aha! Got you again! This is also not a blog. But it is some goooood packaging design! Brought to my attention via TheDieline.

Ok, that's enough for now, I need to dome some good old fashioned HOMEWORK in the way of picking out an opinionated article I disagree with/know something about. So...if any of you happen to know something I feel strongly about in the news, please, fill me in on that secret.

There's Not Enough Time In The Day...

...for all of the things I'm obsessed with. See below.

 

Dear Blank, Please Blank

 Sometimes hilarious, sometimes douchy.

 

Chicago International Poster Biennial 

Check out the final selection of posters for this year's biennial

 Good is a magazine that combines great design with social awareness. I would say that pretty much anything they take the time to write is worth reading. And looking at.
This particular image is a sneak preview of one of their projects about doodling. They do amazing infographics, not to mention a ton of articles on education.

Another of my nerdy-designer obsessions is packaging design, and The Dieline features new and awesome packaging design. I especially like:

This collection of global teas by Sarita Walsh

These moving boxes by Emanuel Sendel

This coffee by a recent graduate Cari Caldwell.

These glasses cases by ILoveDust led me to realise that I also love dust. Seriously, check out their entire site, they have things like an alphabet made of animals.

 

Last, but NOT least: Dawn Porter. Dawn is a journalist from the UK who has written for (among others) The Sunday Times, Cosmopolitan, Stylist Magazine, and Company Magazine. She also has done several documentaries aaand written a book, no big deal. Best of all, she is funny. Having just ended her time writing for Stylist, I am looking forward to what she'll be doing next!
