For the Love of Dog, Adopt
I just can’t say how much I love the opportunity to support this cause (and add a design-y t-shirt to my closet).
If you’re an animal lover like me…
And your heart breaks every time you see a facebook post to find a home for a lost pup or see a flyer stapled to a telephone pole about a found, lost kitty…
And you already have two dogs…
And your husband would FREAK if you brought another animal into your small, city home with no yard…Well, this is a good way to support the cause! Snag your own clever and cute For the Love of Dog, Adopt! shirt from Vaute Couture for $26.

a peek at my workspace…
This isn’t really a design-related post, but the unplanned pink-scene on my desk made me smile and I thought I would share :)

An Event Apart
This week I’m lucky enough to attend An Event Apart in Atlanta. It’s a great conference with real, usable design and code information for working designers/developers.
Follow #aea on twitter for lots of bits and goodies! And @knell_belle if you’re looking for me :)

Last-Minute Stocking Stuffers
A few things to inspire some last-minute shopping!
Super-cute initial paper weights in a fun chalkboard motif.
$8/each from West Elm
Christmas is the perfect time for a new calendar… these monthly illustrated prints from The Indigo Bunting Shop are festive and useful. $30/set
One more for the bar-minded… My favorite cocktail lately is a crisp, refreshing Moscow Mule. The vodka, ginger beer, and lime combo is even more enjoyable when sipping from the traditional copper mugs! Aren’t they gorgeous? I found these on ebay. I’ve seen them on overstock as well. Expect to pay about $100/set of 4.

Apple Image Faux Pas: Dislike
Apple has product images with (obviously unintentional) white backgrounds on their website. Gasp!
The new iPhone landing page (View in Firefox. Of course, Safari looks correct.) has every phone image with white, squared off corners. How could THE design gurus of our time allow this to happen?! I’m in shock. Disbelief. As if the disappointment over the iPhone 4s (instead of iPhone 5) could be worse?
Why, Apple? Why?
