Visual Blurbs

Today I discovered a cute and witty blog of images - perfect for sarcastic and creative types like myself. 


Illustrator Alex Noriega posts funny little illustrations on his blog Stuff No One Told Me that capture some of life's simple lessons - some emotional, some angry, some funny, some kind of dirty, and some just silly - but all equally entertaining. Here's some of my favorites!
















Cool Ad Campaign: Stella McCartney

I just stumbled upon this post from the Coco+Kelley blog.



You know how I always say that I love design with a sense of humour?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Still chic and gorgeous, but with that touch of whimsy that lets people know that we're not taking it all so seriously. Completed by the fact that they chose Natalia Vodianova for the shoot. She's hands-down my fave.

Aloha Hawaii

I recently returned from a week in beautiful Maui, Hawaii. Below are some of my favorite photos I captured while exploring this tropical paradise! These shots were taken with my Olympus Stylus 720. (Click on any photo to view it at full size.)



I spent a day in Los Angeles en route to Hawaii. No trip to Hollywood could possibly be complete without a visit to the celebrity-loved Kitson on Robertson.



Beautifully manicured grounds at the Wailea Beach Marriot Resort + Spa. Absolute paradise! 


















View of the pool and ocean at the Wailea Beach Marriot Resort + Spa. It doesn't get much better than this!






























































































This is the adult infinity pool – check out how you almost can't even see where the edge of pool ends and the ocean begins. Unbelievable!

















On an adventure rafting tour to the Kanai Coast, my boyfriend stuck my waterproof camera under water and tried to capture a school of dolphins - unbelievably lucky that this shot came out so well!
