Pastel Birthday VS. Gluten Free Birthday

It's my birthday. 

Seriously, I am freaking out at 28, so what's going to happen 

when the big 3-0 comes around? 

Or 40? 50? OY VEY!! 

At least having a Spring birthday means I can celebrate with 

PRETTY OMBRE PASTELS.

Ok, so that cake is def. NOT GLUTEN FREE. 

That's alright because this is what I'm really going to eat:

Not as pretty but OH so good.

Love It Leave It: Asymmetrical Furniture

I have started to notice a new design detail showing up in pieces that catch my eye.  

As a designer I like the lines of the pieces I work with to be tailored, purposeful and polished. 

Who says the lines have to be perfect though?  

Adding in a funky unexpected element to a piece gives a fresh new take on classic silhouettes. 

What do you think?

Shades of Peach

Along with mint, I have been obsessed with 

SHADES OF PEACH 

this Spring.

Here's a combo of a painting and lamp that ended up being pinned by each other, 

creating a wonderful happy accident vignette:

 I know this is an iffy color for most.

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON PEACH?

GelaSkins Custom iPhone Skins

I've had my iPhone 4 now for almost a year but have yet to settle on a cover.  

I know it's not the biggest decision but none of the covers reflected who I was. 

I know, I'm picky.  

If it's an item that I use multiple times a day, though, it needs to make me happy every time I see it. 

I got SO excited when I stumbled across 

GELASKINS CUSTOM iPHONE SKINS

yesterday.  You can upload images to GelaSkins and have your custom skin sent straight to your door. 

Genius.

I sacrificed a good hour or two of sleep trying to figure out which skin I want to order.

Here's what I've created so far:

I'm leaning towards the first abstract but my heart twitters over the mint colored Cy Tombly.

Which piece of art would you 

use for a phone cover?
