Watercolor in Catalog Inspiration

The fantastic design team over at Anthropologie does it again! They are a constant inspiration to me and I just adore what they did with their latest catalog (seen above). One of the reasons I am so drawn to Anthropologie‘s clothes is because of the artistic nature of their patterns, textures, and shapes, so it only makes sense to merge their products into art. In their latest catalog their product photographs are completed by beautiful watercolor illustrations along their edging. This creates a unique collage effect that oozes with wistful, artistic expression.

A Small Tribute to a Great Man

January 21, 2013

Here’s another personal wedding photo I’d like to share with you. This one is very dear to my heart, especially now that my dear grandfather has passed on. I love this man very much. He was a very light-hearted, smart, tenacious man who I like to think I got a little bit of my entrepreneurial spirit from. He started a travel business in Philadelphia; it was one of the first companies to push vacations in Jamaica. He’d always brighten up when talking about Jamaica, or about his stays in Italy. I’m very lucky to call him my grandpa.

Thank you for your patience these last couple of days as my family works through this transition. Warm regards, Allison

Life is Pretty Amazing

I’m feeling a bit uneasy today as my grandfather is being put on hospice care and has only a mere few days left in his life. He will be very missed by family and friends when he takes his last breath in this life.

This whole process makes me think about this beautiful photo/illustration/quote that I pinned a few weeks back. Life is pretty amazing. Take the time to stop and look around at its splendor.
