I’m happy to cross of no. 49 on my list, but I have over 60 items more to go. Another item that’s relevant to this one is updating my portfolio. I did it back in April (a print version) but my list strictly says “online portfolio” with the blog redesign, it’s bound to happen.

I thought I would start sharing typography again on the blog. Fonts make me so happy and while I work with fonts all day, I want to share my finds with you (in case you are font lovers as well) Today I am featuring Anne Bonny from Melle Diette. It’s a bodoni inspired typeface with feminine touches with swashes, ornaments and additional glyphes. Available for download on My Fonts

The second version of image is me. Is the way I present myself. It’s working on my lack of fashion and making it a lack no more. I don’t necessarily have the money to spend on clothing… and even if I did I never seem to find anything, so I told myself I would buy 1 piece a month. No more no less. A piece can be anything from a shirt, to boots to a purse or accessoires. (and nothing at regular price – seeing we are in debt paying off mode.) I’m not very good with fashion and the clothes I do have aren’t interchangeable. So I want to be smart about it from now on. ( I apologize in advance to my pinterest followers if you happen to see alot of outfit pins in my A la Mode board, but I really do need the help)

The third version of image is still about me. I am due to have bébé2 in May, right around my birthday and I really want to lose the pregnancy weight and more. I will be on maternity leave for 12 months so it’s my time to start running again and doing the C25K program again (I downloaded the Ease to 5k App for my iPhone). I still had 5 lbs to lose when I got pregnant, so I will lose that and another 25lbs. I don’t feel great about my body, and it’s not about being skinny (because trust me I’ve never been smaller than a size 12) but it’s about feeling healthy. I will document my progress on the blog (that way it will give me an extra kick in the butt!)

The fourth version of image is in our home. With the arrival of bébé2 we have ALOT of changes to do. From finishing the bedroom downstairs so that we can move our bedroom there, to make Mavrick his first toddler room and redecorate the nursery. All in a span of 3 months. I will share the progress of those rooms as well as the finished products, because my House Tour has been pretty inactive for a while. I have great projects in mind for the nursery and toddler room and I can’t wait to share it with you.

What are your plans for 2012 ?

What holiday card have your seen this year that made you all happy and cheery?

Who doesn’t love cheery bathroom?! Well, I think this one featured on Spearmint Baby is absolutely darling. I love the mixtures of yellows, white and aqua and not to mention the stripes and polka dots. Makes me want to be in there forever. Maybe this will make your kids want to brush their teeth more? hehe

Do you like unconventional colors for a bathroom? Or do you tend to stick with the classics?

She has been working extra long hours to offer the lines to the mass public (and well to get her name out there) So a couple of weeks ago….  her manufactured lines (well 3 pairs) can be found at Anthropologie (for Kids). Plus in the next week or so, they will be available at Gap and Piperlime.  (Quick savers tip, the shoes/boots available on these sites are actually cheaper if purchased from the Joyfolie site itself) 

Seeing I don’t have a girl, I’m definitely looking forward to the launch of her woman shoes. Here is a sneek peek.

Check out the Joyfolie site for more styles available. If ever you touch base with her, be sure to tell her that Kelly sent you !

Each vendor is then showcased as followed. Image with a little description of the company and contact info to make it easy for couples to contact them.

Newport Wedding Glam launched yesterday and I could not be more happy with the result. It was an intensive 5 months of work but I think I was able to convey Rainas vision on the web. Even if you aren’t from that area, be sure to read the blog for some great ideas, pro tips and more. Follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

I found her work through her dribbble account and have been a fan since. Her signature style is what makes her so amazing. She combines beautiful colors, textures and uses her own illustrations in her work. Unique. Her attention to detail blows me away and I secretly want to become her friend. There I said it.

You might of more of her work around the webs or maybe you’ve used some of her freebies. Show some lovin’ by commenting on her blog, or by following her on twitter.

That being said, I RARELY decorate for Halloween as well. I don’t know, I find it more of a hassel than anything.  Take of the decorations, place the decorations, put away the decorations. It’s time consuming. Sure it’s pretty… but maybe the fact that Thanksgiving is such a big deal for Americans and not us, Canadians, also plays a big part in the fall decorations? Maybe it’s because I’m not a lover of fall colors? Don’t get me wrong, I love fall, the weather, the fashion but the decor… hmm, not so much. Maybe it’s too earthy for me. Maybe it’s the lack of pink ;] I do love picture #4 in the collage I made. Maybe its the shine, the glass, the reflective properties. So IF I WERE to decide to decorate, it would be a blinged up version of fall.

What about you, do you decorate? Tell me I’m not the only one who passes on the fall decor.
