I love me some pretty stationery. Say hello to Studio Sarah; a fine mix of minimalistic luxury, the British stationery brand is the brainchild of Sarah Silver. Pastels, stripped or dotted, take your pick!

Write A Confession
Enter the world of Candy Chang – artist, designer, TED Senior Fellow, World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, the list really does go on. Candy uses public spaces, public art and human engagement to create community projects. The outcome is always something to think about. In this case, it’s her newest project, Write A Confession – “a place where people could write and submit their confessions on wooden plaques in the privacy of confession booths. Candy hung the anonymous plaques on the gallery walls each day and painted select responses on large canvases.” My favourite is this one – “I still love her. 2 girlfriends and 5 years later.”
Ducky Wedding Invites
I don’t usually post designs of wedding invites but these are too cute. Designed by Adam Hill, duckies cordially invite you to the wedding of Simon and Simone. The directions and the dress code are my favourite. How nice to receive such fun invitations – just imagine the wedding!
Hate mail
Want some hate mail? Mr. Bingo will gladly send you some. He draws random hate messages on vintage postcards and sends them to people for a small fee. There’s even a book with all the postcards compiled. Something different innit?
Parisian Postcards
In celebration of the weekend approaching, here are postcards of the monochromatic mystique and colours of passion that are Paris. Concept store Colette commissioned Parisian graphic designer Leslie David for postcards depicting Parisian scenery. I love the stark contrast of old photographs against the mush of thick paints. I want these!
I Promise to Love You
Even after tremendous heartbreak, I am still a romantic. Which is why it was lovely to stumble upon these neon billboards by contemporary artist Tracey Emin. Set up in the heart of Times Square, her exhibition of billboards titled “I Promise to Love You” can be viewed every night for the month of February from 11:57 PM to midnight. Such lovely words to light up the night with. Sigh.
Windows of New York
Windows are beautiful things. Capture by Graphic Designer Jose Guizar, these illustrated windows are a great idea that was just waiting to happen.
Betype
I love me some Tumblr time. I find all kinds of different things I love like photography, quotes, design inspiration, fashion. I found Betype one day and it’s a great source of typography inspiration and ideas when you’re going through designer’s block.
Ink So Good You Could Lick It
I’ve always been drawn to hand drawn designs. If you are too, let me introduce you to Miss Olivia King. I found this little surprise in the pages of The Distillery’s latest promotional magazine, Modern Print. Infographics in chalk lettering? Yes please.
Potraits by Cesar Del Valle
Colombian artist Cesar Del Valle creates these intricate pencil illustrations that interact with our real life world making them 3D art in a way. How interesting that a pencil did all that work – the textures of the people’s clothes, the details, the shading. That, is real art innit.
