My three most favorite things on the internet lately:

1. ONE IOTA’s work for a local grocer.
2. I loved reading why Annie likes shooting film.
3. Weekly “Music Night.” I think Adam and I will start doing this.

Happy August! A round up of three of my favorite things on The Internets lately.

1. DesignLoveFest’s STYLE series. Absolutely love it.
2. Herb and Dorothy, a documentary on Netflix Instant. It’s about a couple to lived off one of their salaries and devoted the other salary towards collecting modern art.
3. Photographer Jonathan Canlas. His work and movement, “Film Is Not Dead,” is amazing. Ashley sent me the link to his site and I adore his work and efforts.

1. Keiko Lynn’s braided ‘do tutorial is wonderful. I can’t wait until my hair gets long enough to try this.
2. Art in the Age just introduced RHUBY! I have loved trying ROOT and SNAP. This one may be my favorite.
3. Head on over to xheight to read my article about being an artist and a designer.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a Monday Link Love so I bet you’re peeing your pants right now. I realized that I’ve tweeting a lot of the fun things I find on the internet throughout the week and then have nothing to share come Monday. I’ve decided to set aside 3-5 links that I REALLY want to share to keep your Monday blog browsing quick and sweet. Enjoy.

• I love the work of Stitch | a design co.
• This post over on Lettered Olive features amazing letterheads.
• How many amazing quotes does Winnie the Pooh have? A LOT. Did you see the new movie is coming out this weekend. I will be seeing it.
• You can now find me over on Quite Strong’s Lust List! I basically have design crushes on everyone over there so I’m excited.

- I want to make these homemade tortilla chips and these lime cilantro sweet potatoes.

- The Closet Visit films are lovely and, of course, the typography grabbed my attention.

- I’ve bookmarked this talk that Tina Fey gave to Google. Has anyone watched it yet?

- Foil stamping AND the color teal? Heck yes! The Montreux Café Identity System is lovely.

- Sharon recently posted this blog post featuring a few videos by past ADC Young Guns winners. Love them.

- I’ve been recently mesmerized by all things space, moon and constellations. I love the photo above (found on Pinterest but only linked to Tumblr.com) and I also just bought this print over on AGC916′s shop on Etsy.

- This idea for a wedding guestbook is adorable. Have your guests write their birthdays in a full year calendar! Although-then you would have no excuse to send a card.

- I need these shoes.

- How amazing are these lamps. I want one in every color.

Who doesn’t love a little Mumford and Sons for their Monday morning? (or afternoon if you’re visiting from across the ocean!) I had a great weekend visiting my family in Illinois. This week I’m launching my updated portfolio site AND preparing to move for this weekend. Plus a social engagement about every evening. But HECK I’m going to blog too. You know…comments keep me motivated so be sure to leave one!

- I love this post over on Hula Seventy. Portland has double decker dress shops AND double decker grilled cheese restaurants?? I’m moving.

- What do you think of the typeface Banda?

- I love this post about bar carts (one thing I’m DEFINITELY having in our new apartment!)

- I’m also taking my Lola’s (grandmother in the Philippines) china cabinet and doing this next weekend.

- Look at this GORGEOUS church. Everything should be that beautiful.

- I found this recipe for Florida Avocado Summer Wraps. NOM. Can you overdose on avocado? Because I might.

Happy Monday! I see rain in our forecast for the next four days so I thought I’d share another photo from Vegas. Blue skies, I miss you. Enjoy the links.

- The Official Manufacturing Company is one of my new favorites. Someday I would love to work with a handful of people, closely, and create.

- A double decker dress shop?? Yes please!

- Before I Die…what would you fill in?

- Butter and Brass shares a few ideas for your walls…

- I made Jewel’s recipe last week and it was delicious.

- Just bought this book and this book at Border’s “We’re Bankrupt” Sale. Both hardcovers for $20 total!

The photo above seemed extremely fitting. Adam washed my car on Saturday and I can hardly recognize it. All that dirt and salt has been washed clean and now my car actually sparkles! We’ll see how long it lasts! I felt so spoiled by the warm weather and today’s mere 30 degrees wasn’t doing it for me. Enjoy today’s Monday Link Love — I’m off for President’s Day and I hope you are too!

- I’ve been jumping on the “stripes” bandwagon for awhile now and loved these two pieces over on I am a Greedy Girl.

- Have any of you tried a Chemex coffeemaker? I’d love to hear how you liked it.

- I made this altered version of dolsot bibimbap after seeing Secret Pocket’s post. It’s DELICIOUS! Making it again for dinner tomorrow.

- “Art is not in the eye of the beholder. It’s in the soul of the artist.” Seth Godin

- This cornucopia bag is perfect for farmers markets, biking, and all things exploration.

- I loooove this bambo0 dish rack over on Re-Nest. It’s perfect!

I’m ridiculously excited about this Monday Link Love. I truly believe it’s the best collection of links I’ve EVER posted. And I want to thank the Superbowl for allowing me 4 hours of free time to plan it! I thought your Monday could use the links AND a little smooch from Marilyn.

- This adorable ruffled tee on All Things Heart & Home is so adorable. I really can’t sew. I also don’t own a sewing machine but now I wish I did.

- Multi Tier Cake Pans?! YES!

- These wedding paper goods are in a league of their own. Watch the video at the bottom of how they made each invitation. Talk about dedication!

- I want to try to braid and style my hair like this. It’s getting long enough. Alas, it will probably just look like I’m homeless.

- “I want a boy who will build me bookshelves.” (Adam has already done this for me, so I win.)

- I’ve been missing my laptop recently. If I had a MacBook Air, I would be purchasing this case now!

- Do what you love and do it often. Well said. And nice type.

One of my best friends is headed to Italy today so I thought I would dedicate this Monday Link Love to TRAVEL!

Happy travels, Catherine! Be safe and have fun!
