I feel a little bit like I’m in a transition phase. Part of my mind is still back in Australia adventuring up a storm, and the other part is making like a busy little bee with the fall semester of university starting up again. August, September. September, August. No matter what it is you do, there always seems to be a very clear chopping off point from the end of one to the start of the other. Unlike the transition from any other two months. Kind of weird, isn’t it? This is my little attempt at creating a somewhat cleaner segue between the two – a mix of songs that I loved and listened to obsessively during the end of August and the beginning of September. It’s an Augustember playlist!

Oops… it seems I missed my dear blog’s second birthday! How terrible of me. It was on Sunday and I was apparently off in la-la-land gallivanting across the countryside and I completely forgot! Blog, I’m so sorry. How can I ever show my face around these parts again. (Insert dramatic motion of bringing my arm to my forehead here.)
So my apology is two-fold (hah!)… No. 1: Pretty pictures (always), and No. 2: A tribute to the number two. To two, a number which really isn’t all that terrible. In fact, two is quite an amiable number. You might even say, two is better than one.
Two cupcakes.
Two wolves.

One of my favourite things about having the opportunity to work in a design studio (and not my itty, bitty apartment all alone in my lonesomeness) is that it’s such an upbeat and collaborative experience. At my internship, every day we rocked out to awesome tunes together. And it was awesome. Sadly, my last day was Thursday, and I’m popping into the studio for my final goodbyes early next week. As a silly little thank you, I made a little mixtape for them as a “merci!/farewell/something to remember me by” token. It goes a little something like this:
Architecture. Art. Branding. Design. Graphics. Interiors. Music. Photography.
a.k.a. Songs for the Studio
a.k.a. Music to Get the Creative Juices Flowing
01. Bon Iver – Calgary ♪
02. Bat For Lashes – Horse and I ♪
03. Coldplay – Yellow ♪
