Color Me Katie

I haven't done a must follow in a while. I want to introduce you to the blog that got me addicted to blogging. Here's the story behind how I found it. Sophomore year of college, I came back to my dorm to find one of my roommates on the living area floor with lots of poster board eyeballs sprawled all around her. She wanted to stick these crazy eyes on inanimate objects and see how people would react. I thought she was nuts, and then she showed me Katie Sokoler. Katie is a street artist and photographer in New York. She does fun, colorful projects and if you need to smile a stop to her site is a must.

Here are a few of my favorite things that she does:

Fun DIY's:

Insider Improv Everywhere stuff:

And she has the most awesome cat ever: 

Design Work Life

Here's a blog that's great to follow.

Design Work Life posts multiple times a day during the week, and she always posts great stuff. Whenever I feel like I need to be inspired for anything, I make my way to her blog. She posts things in so many different styles and media that I'm pretty sure anyone can find what they are looking for! One of my favorite things she does regularly is the Monday Quick Links:

In her quick links she posts just a bunch of great stuff. It's really easy to miss these posts because there are no pictures, but don't ignore it! She links to more great inspiration, design must have's available to buy and really inspiring and informational articles. As you can see above, she even touches on the latest design scandal (the new Gap logo in this case).

I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do!

Oh Joy!

I love to follow other blogs! I think I will highlight one every once in a while that I think is a must follow!

Joy Cho posts beautiful things daily on her blog called Oh Joy! It's inspiring to see what inspires her! She is a very successful freelance designer. She also recently wrote a book with another blogger/freelancer called Creative Inc.

 

I recently received this book as a gift and can't wait to get into reading it! All the reviews have been great!
