"So Cute" stationery box set for Scholastic

I had "so much" fun creating this stationery set for Scholastic. I love bringing sweet characters to life! I hope you love it too! I am very grateful to design for Scholastic as they are an amazing company. I saw on the news that they made a large donation to the schools effected by Hurricane Sandy. Imagine all of the positive effects that one company such as Scholastic has on our children. It's amazing to think about. THANK YOU to Scholastic Books!

NYIGF-Day 2-"Meeting Jonathan Adler"

Second day of NYIGF was AMAZING! I LEARNED SO MUCH and met MANY GREAT PEOPLE! Learned a ton more about the business from all of the kind designers and business owners who were willing to share their business stories. I am truly grateful and will indeed pass that great karma on!

At the beginning of the year I asked my artists who their "Dream Clients" for 2013 would be and guess what? I met one of those contacts today! YAY!

All in all it was an awesome day and the best part of all? I met Jonathan Adler! Woo hoo! Was so exciting and he's such a sweetheart!

NYIGF-Day 1


Had a GREAT learning experience today at NYIGF. I came to this show once before a few years back, but I exhibited so I didn't get a chance to fully walk the show and take it all in. Today started with a trend presentation about how the world of fashion influences home decor. YAY! Keep your eyes peeled for Bohemian Fairytale, Leather, and Futuristic! Colors are still predicting neon with neutrals, primaries and of course gorgeous greens!

After the trend presentation I had a look around the Home Section of the show at Pier 94 and realized that I would absolutely LOVE a home decor makeover! Everything is just SO GORGEOUS! From wall art to furniture to lighting to garden decor, I was pulled in to so many booths to admire the beauty of each piece! YUMMY!

A few of my favorites from the day:

www.design-legacy.com (love the unique way that they mix and match pieces, classic yet VERY playful! ) You cannot see much on their site, because you need access, but you can google "design legacy" and choose images to view. Hope this helps!

Around 2pm I found myself at a social media seminar learning the in's and out's of facebook, blogging and twitter which I definitely need help with! I love blogging and spending time online but always struggle with finding the time to dedicate each day. The gal giving the seminar had a great idea to manage your time by spending 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes and lunch and 20 minutes later in the day and ACTUALLY SET A TIMER! I love this idea as we all know that an entire morning can pass by when we get caught up on the internet. ;)

The rest of the show doesn't open until tomorrow so I decided to spend the evening trend shopping in Chelsea at The Chelsea Market. Loved it! Check out some fun inspiration below!


Gorgeous book cover designs at Anthropologie!

Enjoyed the ambiance of The Chelsea Market!

Finished off the evening with a nice salad at RANA
