Zebraffiti
Ever since our trip to South Africa last year, I seem to be drawn to artwork featuring Zebras. Pair that with my love for pop art and graffiti and you get Ben Allen's collection of colourful prints aptly named "Zebraffiti". Just my luck the collection is sold out - but oh how awesome would all 3 look above my bed?

A DJ Saved My Life
Last night I fell in love. I walked into my friend's condo and saw this print on his wall. I am so jealous of it and want it badly. So for, I managed to find it on the UK site Art Republic - but of course, it is no longer available. I. MUST. HAVE. IT! Help!

Everyone Keep Calm
Unless you've been living under a rock - you have seen the Keep Calm and Carry On poster some where at some time. It's been on my wish list for a long time. You would think that since I could buy one on Etsy for $20 - I would have grabbed one by now. Problem is, I can't decide what colour I want it in! My first choice was originally canary yellow. Now I'm leaning towards a more neutral colour and hanging it in an ornate frame for some drama. I love seeing what other people are doing with theirs. What colour would you get?

Connect the Dots
Pointillism paintings have always amazed me. I love how the use of colour plays with your eyes. Check out this modern twist on pointillism courtesy of Graphic Nothing on Etsy. Can you connect the dots and make out what the prints are of?

Etsy Find: Modern Pop
I'll admit, I've had baby on the brain. With two of my best friends welcoming little ones and 5 (yes, 5) sweet ladies in my office being pregnant in less than a year, babies have become a popular topic. Having my own is a long ways away; so for now I am more than happy to play with them, spoil them and hand them back to mama.
I really want to buy one of these adorable prints from Modern Pop for little man T. Each one is so darling and has such a great pop art style. Check out their Etsy shop or head over to their blog to see more of their work.

What's are you afraid of?
This book by Nedko Solakov caught my eye at Indigo the other day. 99 Fears is a compilation of ink drawings depicting real and imagined fears, phobias and insecurities of everyday life. It's a little dark and strange but something about it wonderfully beautiful and charming.

I've loved it for like ever
You may have seen this print from Village on a number of blogs. I sure have. My love affair with it dates back to its debut on the cover of Domino magazine in Sept. 2006. Over the years, I tried to live without it. I tried to find replacements, tried to pretend like it didn't exist, but like any true love it always finds its way back to me. You're probably asking yourself a very logical question - "why doesn't she just buy it?". It's simple - I don't have a good place to put it in my home. A print this pretty needs to be on display! The minute I move (which is hopefully very soon) I will make sure there is a wall worthy enough to hang it on. I've waited 3 years to buy it, I can hold out another month or two.

Can't get enough of Mr. Adler
If I had an empty space and an unlimited budget, I would do everything in my power to hire Jonathan Adler to personally decorate it. I have never seen an interior of his that didn't make me swoon. I just can't get enough of his style. These two rooms from a Palm Beach residence are by far my favourite - clean white spaces injected with quirky furniture, bright pops of colour and his signature pottery (a girl can dream...).
