visualizing data

visualizing data is a hard task, and I'm on it! I started a user experience & planning internship and have been doing some research on information design and visualizing data. Check out some of the cool charts, graphs etc...that I've found around the net. Sorry I didn't document sources, as many of these were googled. :)

This is the outfit I would put together to exemplify my fossil "vintage" style. The pieces coordinate to create an eclectic, cozy, holiday feel.

small things

I love these adorable and intricate creations made by teresa robinson in her portland studio. The silhouetted icons are timeless, classic, yet modern. take a moment to gander at her sweet jewelry. { www.smallthingsdesigns.com }

i think yesterday was the last beautiful fall day we're going to have up here in Minneapolis, so I got to capture some of it with my adorable 14 month old nephew.

redesigning the classics

Check out these beautiful covers designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. She re-designed all the classics for Penguin books a few years back, and I've just discovered them. The patterns and color combinations are really beautiful. Here is her site { www.cb-smith.com/ } or can be purchased here are penguin { www.penguin.com }

shoe mania

Along with fall and winter, comes the emergence of adorable boots, booties, and heels that are so wonderful to pair with leggings and tights. Take a look at some of my favorite from modcloth. If you haven't discovered this online store, you MUST. They have fantastic, vintage inspired wares. I want everything on this site. Enjoy! { www.modcloth.com }

new bags & exciting news!

Hi everyone, great news! My products are going to be in a small consignment store, {The Crafter's Cottage}out in Wayzata, MN! If you're in need for some cold weather gear, one of my scarves, hats or earwarmers would be perfect. I will also be producing more bags. Pictured here is my large tote, the Esther Tote, and my brand new silhouette, the Carla Crossbody. All the products in my line, Honey Lane, are named after women in my family. Just as Honey Lane is the name of the street I grew up on, and my parents still live today. :) The holidays are right around the corner as well, and any of my items would make great gifts. Just sayin.
