From the fetishizing of #lumbersexual to those full-on and rather bizarre beard bouquets, these crumb catchers have been through a lot, but who says the ladies should have all the fun?! I have to hand it to these dapper dudes for pulling this latest trend off. Move over Nicole Ricci, we're coming for you. <div>

"Hilary is cheerful and merry. She is the ray of sunshine because of her blissful and joyful personality", Blow writes. By using color blocking, unexpected color pairing and a hint of metallic, the studio most certainly captures this personality. Modern, refined, and timeless all at the same time, this really is a visual feast to the eyes.</div>

So I know we're getting all hippy-dippy(most guilty of us all) with our
brown bags and our burlap...but seriously, come on. This is brown-baggin
with style. #blingbang is my new thing. xo<br />

Today's bit of inspiration comes courtesy of my girl <a href="http://cabbageroseblog.com/architecture/hello-2" target="_blank">cabbagerose</a>. Sometimes it's just lovely to have a sense of humor and play with our designs...wouldn't you agree? Hello House by Melbourne based firm <a href="http://www.oof.net.au/" target="_blank">OOF! Architecture</a> does just that while maintaining a level of sophistication and craftsmanship throughout. </div>

Simplicity of form and repetition of like elements seems to carry the design inside out and the use of bulbous forms such as the oversized wooden handles below allow the personality to peek out from behind the clean lines and hard edges.</div>

Donald Robertson, or as his cheeky Instagram handle <a href="http://instagram.com/donalddrawbertson" target="_blank">@donalddrawbertson</a> indicates, has been taking the fashion world by storm. His fun, pop-art meets whimsy fashion illustrations have been gracing the covers of Vogue around the world. Not necessarily a "break out" sensation in an industry where who you know is your ticket, Robertson splits time between his early morning studio sessions, his 5 kids, and, oh ya, his full-time gig as Director of Creative Development for <a href="http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/index.tmpl#i.1laofbsbk8e28r" target="_blank">Bobbi Brown</a>. He is exceptionally talented and his art never leaves you with anything but a brighter day ahead. I'll be curious to see if illustrators begin making a comeback in the world of cover art, even if just for a moment.<br />

Its essentially about waiting to be somewhere else--in transit--and there’s a disconnect. While we’re waiting for something, we’re off in our thoughts. We’re thinking about our past, our future...anything but the present moment, and we’re paying little attention to our surroundings. The nameless and faceless become as familiar to us as our own reflection while we shuffle our bodies from place to place.</span></b><br />

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not cute or built to suit fashion model's size</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when I start to tell them,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They think I'm telling lies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I say,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its in the reach of my arms,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the space of my hips,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stride of my step,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The curl of my lips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm woman</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I walk into a room</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just as cool as you please,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And to a man,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fellows stand or</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fall down on their knees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then they swarm around me,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A hive of honey bees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I say,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its in the fire in my eyes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the joy in my feet.</div>

I'm woman</div>

They try so much </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But they can't touch</div>

They say they can't see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I say,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its in the arch of my back,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sun of my smile,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ride of my breasts,</div>

Here's few lovely examples of what I like to refer to as <i>urban landscapes</i> from all around the world. Enjoy!<br />

Do you remember what you were doing when you were 10? 12? 14? Probably not being forced into marriage by terrorists...<br />
<br />
I'm wondering how the design community can come together to contribute in a meaningful way. We are talented, outside of the box thinkers and we are needed in times like these!<br />
Bring back our girls!<br />

You might be asking yourself how these two art forms could possibly have any relation, so let me do my best to explain. See, both regional cuisine and collage rely on artist's(or chef's) ability to overcome the challenge of working with existing conditions. On the food side of things, if the cuisine is truly regional, one must rely on what the land is willing to provide. What is the weather like? The climate? What types of crops are supported by the ground? You can imagine how the list goes on. The chef selects specific ingredients, determines portions, and crafts a process to create a the final dish. Likewise, collage is about relationships and more often than not involves existing conditions. As seen in the images below, the artists were responsible for creating collages that were evocative of a certain mood, a certain style. The images were handcrafted by the artists who decided which regions to collage, the portions, the patterns<br />
<div>
to combine, etc. I guess its the habit of any designer to draw conclusions, make connections, and see possibilities that might otherwise get over looked. </div>

More power to the bra-burning pioneers that led the way for many women before us, but I tend to refer to myself as more of a humanist. Or, as the great Ferris Bueller once said, "Isms in my opinion, are not good..." But whatever your stance on the subject, you'll be hard pressed to deny that the ladies have had to deal with a lot to get to where we're at today. And in many places throughout the world, there are still horrific cultural practices in place that rob young girls of their childhood. So today, let's take a moment to realize how lucky we are. And let's bask in the beauty of everything it means to be a woman.<br />

<br />
In the world of Instagram and SnapChat, rarely do images stop me dead in my tracks like the work of photographer <a href="http://www.gercoderuijter.com/gerco/home" target="_blank">Gerco de Ruijter</a>. Primarily landscapes, his portfolio speaks through almost a godly sense of scale, capturing moments from either incredible distances or microscopic details. I find myself reaching almost a <i>meditative</i> state as I try to figure out angles, textures and subject matter through the eyes of such a wonderful artist. Below are snaps taken from his Iceland, Almost Nature and Lot collections as seen on his site.<br />

<br />
The contemporary photography by Berlin based <span style="font-size: x-small;">(and can you believe self-taught)</span> photographer <a href="http://www.matthias-heiderich.de/14712/gallery">Matthais Heiderich</a> are absolutely irresistible for their simplicity, purity and emphasis on form. His awareness of color and materiality produce a beautiful and cohesive portfolio...so beautiful, that I wanted to post all of his pictures! But where would the fun be in that? So, enjoy these goodies, and check out more of his work <a href="http://www.matthias-heiderich.de/14712/gallery">here</a>.<br />
