Fragrances Don't Smell Beautiful to Everyone

Best ad EVER! Maybe not looks-wise but super witty.

Valentine's Subtlety

Although I'm getting frustrated with the constant holiday themes of advertising, I like this subtle ad outside Smart Set. Here they're using the Valentine's day colours without being so blatantly obvious.

New Spin on Fake Flowers

These funky designs put a new spin on fake flowers. Instead of pretending to be real they're embracing themselves and going all out.

Colour in Branding 2

Here are some pictures from a study on logo recognition. Many logos can be recognized just by their colour and placement. Can you recognize these logos? (see more here, also, read more on the subject in the first Colour in Branding post).

Modern Decor

Super cute pillow on this modern decor website, love the black and cream colour and that pop of purpely pink on the butterfly adds so much to the Alice in Wonderland drawing style.






Also found this tote bag. Saw the pillow and bag completely separately but turns out they're both designed by a designer named Thomas Paul? Cool style, definitely inspiring.

Gorgeous Gift Bags

It should be a sin to make gift bags this pretty. Now I don't want to give it away...:(
This picture really doesn't do it justice...I guess I should start taking pictures with my Canon Rebel instead of my cell phone...just a thought
