These neon critters are making my day! Crazy brights are certainly in, and these little guys sure know how to sport it.

Let's end the week with a cocktail...shall we?! This one looks all summery and fun, perfect for the beach or the back porch. Spring's almost here, friends! Have a great weekend...xo

Howard Hodgkin! I was blown away by all of his work at The Speed Museum last weekend. A British painter and printmaker, Hodgkin's work is primarily abstract with powerful lines and bright colors. Completely intoxicating, don't you think?! 

My main squeeze surprised me with a Valentine's treat...a trip to The Speed Art Museum! He sure knows the way to my Renoir lovin' heart. Our visit was amazing, topped with chocolate covered strawberries and chardonnay. PS...wine and Impressionism were meant for each other. The Allure of Color exhibit is BEYOND, running from now until May. I was certainly feeling the love as I saw some of my favorite pieces and was introduced to a few new artists as well...can't wait to share. Wishing you lots of love today, friends!

Lovely landscapes (and seascapes) by SPROUT STUDIO! 

This project might just be one of my favorites so far. Simple lines, 

bright colors, and small hands make for some pretty great art.

Ain't that the truth?!

Emma Coulter. How's this for crazy talent?! LOVE the patterns and colors, love the lights and darks, love that something new can be found in these pieces every time you look at them. Kinda reminds me of a party with lots of confetti and balloons. Happy art's the best.

LOVE some Elsie Larson! This girl's got it...vintage boutique owner, designer, and blog writer extraordinaire. I visit A Beautiful Mess on a regular basis...hope you do, too...and SO admire her style and simple way of making modern design fun and accessible. The photos above show off some of Elsie's DIY projects. An instagram wall?!? Let's do it.

Meet and Greet Monday...introducing Sarah and Karis, two girls living in Santa Barbara, making amazingly simply letterpress stationery. Isn't it the best?! Head over to   TabletopMade and check out the rest of their pretty papers.

Ready for SPRING?! Me, too.
