Inspired Design: Coralie Bickford-Smith

I am completely obsessed with these beautiful book jackets designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith (senior designer for Penguin Books). Of course we all know the adage about not judging a book by its cover...but by the looks of these beauties I'd say it's safe to go right on ahead and do just that. Wouldn't you love a whole bookshelf filled with these gorgeous tomes?! See more of Coralie's wonderful design work right here. (These lovely treasures were discovered via Uppercase)

Fancy This: Illustrations by Tina Berning

Over the weekend I probably spend a couple of hours browsing through the illustration work of Tina Berning (discovered via Susy's gorgeous blog). Her talent is mind-boggling! There are no words that will do it justice...you'll just have to hop on over and take a stroll through her portfolio to see for yourself. I hope you love her work as much as I do.  xo Ez

In Good Company: Bridge & Burn

Last week I received an email from Portland, OR based apparel company Bridge & Burn introducing their new Fall line. I popped over for look around and was instantly enamored with their clean and effortless aesthetic. Their line consists of men and women's clothing and outerwear that I would love to wear...nothing too fussy, just well-make carefully thought out designs (think water proof waxed cotton hooded and motorcycle jackets, alongside classic pieces in wool and twill). Perfect! Skedaddle on over to check out the Bridge & Burn line for yourself.
