Rose Cottage

I know that this is a granny-type cottage, and it's not everyones style... but I love Roses (and Peonies!) and I love this cottage. I'm inspired by just looking at the prettyness. And it greatly reminds me of my Moroccan Rose Body Mist (from The Body Shop). Click here to see the rest of the cottage!

And my room's not that greatly designed or anything, but I've tried to follow a pink-and-white theme. Maybe I'll gather up the courage and post pictures sometime. :)

Here's a good fabric tape tutorial. For prettifying your Christmas presents.

Glitterati

Not a big fan of shoes, but these made me smile. :)

Acrylic Nails?

I just came across this concept of painting your fingernails with Acrylic paints while blog-hopping. It sounds fun, but I am a bit skeptical... would you do it? Or would you rather stick to traditional nail polish?

Happy Diwali!

I'm a little late in wishing you all, but Happy Diwali!

I designed a 68-page Diwali magazine (68 because in order to get bound properly, it needs to be designed in multiples of four) for our local Marathi Mandal, and it was inaugurated yesterday. It was a wonderful feeling, because it was my first time designing such a large amount of information (and it wasn't in English, either!). It was a little stressful at times and it clashed with my assignments, but I thoroughly enjoyed designing it!

Just some quick Diwali photos. I love how Diwali just lightens up the whole atmosphere!

I don't have the cookie cutters so obviously, those photos aren't mine! :)

Tactile Illustration

Amazing tactile illustrations by Shotopop. I wish I'd found out about them earlier! I definitely would've done some for my last assignment! I'm not taking illustration next year (I'm majoring in photography), but I want to try these out anyway! Also check out Shotopop's Munny (it's in the tactile illustration section), it's cuh-yute :)

On a side note, are you excited for Deathly Hallows Part 1?! And The Voyage of the Dawn Treader? I can't wait for both! My friend and I will hopefully be attending the Deathly Hallows midnight screening. Eep!!

Lace Fence

Lace Fence

Beautiful, isn't it? I think my current obsession with lace and all things pink is because of our latest assignment, which had us (it's a group assignment) photographing pink lace for the past, say, four weeks?

Seriously, how pretty is this pink bicycle?! How gorgeous would someone look cycling down the streets in it? I can't stop staring at it. :D
