Can we talk about a few things that are blowing my mind? For starters, and most obviously, this collection. Incredible. McQueen is known for bringing the mind-bogglingly intricate “how can this even be real?” detail, and nope, no disappointment for the spring 2012 collection. Just pure art from head to toe. Wowzers, Sarah Burton, you are knocking this out of the park time and time again. What a talent. That orange number? I have no words. I very vocally dislike orange, but man, it’s like like my whole belief system is falling apart! What is up? What is down? I don’t even know any more. All I know is: a) wow, b) WOW, and c) WOOOOW!

That’s all I’ve got. Baring some minor incoherent babbling above, I’m speechless from prettiness.

Isn’t this nifty? Oneighty Creative, a design and branding collective, created this enormous photograph as a means to show their clients, visually, how their creative process of designing a brand identity is put together start to finish. Start to finish, top to bottom, end to end… this is just plain cool! I love how they’ve turned something abstract into this sort of visual mind map documenting step by step their methodology – as they say, “a sort of mad hatter’s tea party feel, creating order out of chaos”. Absolute brilliance!

Honk if you love paper! (Honk honk.) I do. Bre & Emma do. Enter, Our Paper Shop: a lovely little shop the duo created to celebrate that love. Together they’ve created a delightful collection of stationery including cards, postcards, calendars, and even custom stamps. (Fun!) This is the stuff love affairs are made of, guys. They love paper, I love paper, we all love paper! It’s like a circle of love. (Aww. ♥)

Cute, right? I love their funky spin on minimalism. Their collection is fresh, beautifully edited, and full of cheer. And I love it lots and lots.

P.S. Speaking of love, they just launched their new “love” line this morning… it’s super cute!
