mast brothers.

I've been admiring the design & branding of the Mast Brothers chocolate bars
for awhile now, so I was pleased to see this short documentary
on their work philosophy as brothers and craftsmen.

I cannot wait to taste some of their cocoa the next time I'm in NY. 

Here's more on the "Hipster Chocolatiers".

save the date time.

It's almost time for me to start thinking seriously about the wedding invitation suite & the save the date. ahhh. I thought I had time to relax, 

but who was I kidding anyway? Here are a few lovelies:

1. Kate Arends save the date - complex & simple in it's monotone letterpress. 

2. A glamorous statement in glittery gold and bold black flourishes (seen here).

aubin & wills

I'm learning all kinds of new things today - from this post, I did some further investigation into the tote bag and found Aubin & Wills, a super cool English store (similar to APC) with great graphics. Love the fox! The second print is by the artist who did the Aubin & Wills home page art, Alan Kitching.

I don't love kristen stewart, she's too pouty for me. 

However, this UK Elle cover is great. It's stark, simple and graphic.
