i'm calling you delightful.

hello disney.
couple of our friends took a day trip to the happiest place on earth, made some memories and captured them. here are some of my favorites!

disney daze.

A is for Anina
B is for Best
C is for California Adventure Park
D is for Disneyland
E is for Excitement!
F is for Friday and Fringe
G is for Go, Go, Go!

... so i'm going to d-land tomorrow, and possibly disney california. i am uber excited for my first super adventure of the year 2011, it'll be a good break from trying to find a job-- amongst many of my anxieties. it's gonna be the best, and i'm gonna take gazillions of photos and share our amazing time with all who care to share our supercalifragilisticexpialidocious adventure in the land of disney.

ooh, and well, there's me with my fringe trimmed-- to better prepare my hair-did for the photo adventure fun in d-land!

desperate needs.

so in order to get my life, thoughts, doodles, ideas, ramblings and sorts organized, i'm gonna need a couple more journals (got some good ones for my bday and the holidays, but i think i want to save those as my travel journals!). i was in the process of making several a month ago until that came to a halt when an ultimate (so-far) life-altering event took place, sweetly two-weeks before christmas. that aside, ... i am in need of some journals to keep my "etceteras" separated and contained. (i believe i am turning into an OCD maniac, but maybe i am turning into a genius, baah who will be able to tell the difference??)

i really couldn't bring myself to buy those cheap and poorly bound notebooks at the 99c store only to somewhat redesign its cover, so i thought why not take a gander at Paperchase and Papersource for some goodies and see if any strike my fancy.

here are some of my faves:

i'd use this one for my design ideas, i'm very much into this specific geometric pattern at this moment.

Geo Triangle Agenzio Notebook £7.50 at Paperchase

this one looks like my daily to-do/grocery list notebook

Kraft A6 Reporters Notebook £2.25 at Paperchase

or perhaps a pack of these'll keep my life more organized? similar shape and style with different labels.
one for recipes, design ideas, aussie move organization, business ideas, daily-to-do/grocery list--

Moleskin Ruled Page pack  £6.00 at Paperchase

need i say more? (again, all because of this lack of life organization!!) ...

I Can't Sleep Journal $18.95 at Papersource
"If you can't sleep you might as well write and channel your misery into something productive. The colorful, graphic pages are filled with sleep related quotes and places to journal to help you pass the time when insomnia strikes."

this one would be my aussie-move organization notebook, thus, i am renaming it sydney/melbourne city notebook--

it's called, brussels sydney/melbourne city notebook-- £12.50 at Paperchase

because it looks like it's beautifully crafted, worthy of my ramblings--

 navy a5 ruled flexible linen journal £9.00 at Paperchase

this gangly girl in stripes.

gangly girl, ann ward, was my favorite on the ever-so entertaining ANTM. even though the season's predictable judging was ultimately boring, glad she won. came across this beautiful picture of her, she actually looks like she put on a little more meat in this shot-- she looks like the real deal here. still waiting for the vogue spreads, yada, yada, etc...  i'm sure she'll look just as gorgeous.

lagging.

i'm a little down on blogging this week-- been too obsessed about trying to watch oprah's ultimate australian getaway show.

`i'd rather much be in oz.

much needed escape.

if only permanent....

i'd much rather be sitting in one of the cafes lining block place in melbourne, or gallivanting around sydney turning every rock, looking through every nook and cranny-- and possible recent travel dream, rio de janeiro! don't know too much about brazil, so might as well explore...

barcelona since vicky, cristina, barcelona... and manila, always a good place to stew, sit and observe. (among many other reasons of course!)

here's to travel, and getting away from los angeles.

i miss my guitar.

here we go 'round again.

for this past week, i did little design exercises. made one for each day of the week from monday, (except i think i skipped tuesday!)...  and the week culminates with these little cuties i made for our little fashfash blog: everybody look left!

winter icon for everybody look left's twitter??? ... and icon for everything else.

made a banner for everybody look left!

drawing a blank.

like said, just trying to continue with some typography practice.

strawberry lolly.

did another little graphic design exercise.
little phrase & typography, yours truly.
looks yummy to me. what do you think?

paperchase.

made by yours truly for everybody.look.left -- that blog is starting up, we've also got a twitter @evrybdylookleft, and setting up a facebook acct soon. pretty excited!

working hard, or hardly working?

seems like i;ve got nothing much to post about anything i'm working on lately. literally on the move, and am only able to steal time to work on bits of stuff as soon as i hit somebody's sofa, or well, as today, get to sit in the truck while my dad and his buddy load up things that need to be moved, and that i don't have to deal with (thank god).

since the new year, i have been feeling hurried, like i'm on a crazy clock, and suddenly, i realize how many things i have to do in the next couple weeks. i'm trying to keep myself sane though. i think i need to vent and just write thoughts and ideas down in my personal journal, but like said, haven't really had time to do that as well... my notebooks and etceteras are buried under deep down a pile of belongings in the back seat, and i'm not feeling too adventurous to rummage back there.

working a bit on everybodylookleft blog/studio! that's fun, at least!
also "working" and getting thoughts and ideas together for todaywestart-- i figured it's a little tough to start from scratch so i might just be tweaking items here and there. huhhh.....
also starting to dabble a little into making these little graphic banners. think i'll make some time and share with you guys (i did the one for everybodylookleft, just a quick one to make as a first post)!

it's here!

our little fashion studio is coming together! check it out! we'll be updating and launching all week long!
--enjoyed a bit of designing too! check out my 2011 banner :)
