The Joy of Green

It's nice to see designers going more green these days. Joy by Mei Lim have always chosen a route of creating products more eco-friendly. Her combination of luscious colors, graphics and patterns, and the blending of East meets West have been wonderfully rich, with a sweet modern look that is timeless. I've enjoyed watching her small collection of stationery line grow into a successful uber chic collection of pillows, wall decals and organic baby gifts. I am also loving her new collection of green totes. { Think Green }

ALSO, Julia...

I am a big fan of Julia Rothman's illustrations. I love seeing her work on pillows, beddings, stationery and just about anything she puts her hands on. Julia's collaboration with two other talented artists, formed ALSO a creative design studio with a great pool of talent that work together creating stunning design.

The Wonder of Laser-Cut

Thanks to Oh, Joy! for showing off some beautiful cupcake wraps from Paper Orchid. Laser-cut has been such a trend. It's wonderful to see how simple, simple cupcakes can look so scrumptious. I am also loving the butterflies party favor box!
