Food-tography

My heart just about skipped a beat when I stumbled upon this amazing blog, What Katie Ate. Hailing all the way from Syndey, Australia this blog features the most amazing food styling and photography....I may have been drooling on my keyboard.
With the cold weather sneaking upon us, recipes with meats and roasted veggies are calling out to me. I've been craving warm and comforting food. With such beautiful pictures to accompany her recipes, Miss Katie may be the source for some healing food, for both my tummy and soul!

Color me bad

I do love early 90s R&B harmony vocals...but more importantly I totally dig perusing the paint swatches at the hardware store. I don't know what it is but every time we go to Lowes or Home Depot I need to stop and stare at the vast array of square cards in all their technicolor glory.
I usually start picking out my favorites and creating beautiful color combinations. For what, I'm not sure, but maybe someday they'll be the inspiration for a room color and couch cushions, an invitation suite or floral scheme. Nonetheless, it keeps the ol' creative brain a turnin' so I stuff my pockets with the little colorful cards.
I did find a less wasteful way to delight in color schematics. The wonderful blog, Color Collective, creates a daily color palette of inspiration based on work by designers, photographers, and artists. I highly recommend stopping by!All images via Color Collective
