the epitome of elegance

Audrey Hepburn.


Audrey's sense of style and humanity is definitely an inspiration to me. She not only was the epitome of style and elegance, she appreciated the people that make up your life.
Here's her favorite poem "Time Tested Beauty Tips" that she always read her children, By Sam Levenson:

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,  reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the  figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Oh this image makes me feel so light. It's one of those "Mondays" when you rather not be at work right now and I MUCH rather be in that photo. Perhaps strolling the grounds right before a tea party, while being dressed to the nines!

She is an amazing photographer!

pop(art)

This is absolutely adorable! It reminded me of my little sister. She is amazing at seeing things in 3D and making little designs out of paper. I saw it on http://www.ohjoy.blogs.com/ (love that blog!) and I had to share.

I absolutely LOVE watercolor! And this piece is nothing short of beautiful. It makes me want to pull out my old worn out watercolors and brushes (that have not been used since my days in college when I used to wear hoodies everyday to my art class and get paint all over my jeans. Sorry for the side note – it takes me back.) and create. 


Get inspired and check out his website

hello blogworld!

Well... this is my first attempt at a blog. I've never had one and am actually already a little nervous that I'll become too busy to update it. Yet I'm so excited to share my designs and thoughts to anyone willing to listen.
Right now, I'm in the process of creating my own design company that will be called "catzie." I'm very exciting about this new venture and hopefully you will be too. To start, "catzie" will produce print material. Posters, stationary and the like.
Until, catzie is up and running I'm hoping to become more familiar with hosting a webpage through this blog. And maybe by the time catzie is ready, I'll be a pro at this!

So for now blogworld, enjoy!
Design-hearted expression from me to you.
