Now On Wordpress

Hello my darlings,

I have switched from blogger to wordpress and for whatever reason cannot transfer over my google friend connect widget. Therefore, I'm hoping that those of you who are subscribed through google friend-connect will pop on over to www.constant-cravings.com to subscribe via rss. (While you're there, you should check out the brand spanking new About Leigh page with loads more info about yours truly).

If any of you know how to integrate google friend connect on wordpress, I'd be eternally grateful!

Hope you enjoy the new site and stick with me! I wanted the freedom to add more pages as Constant Cravings (and other endeavors) expand and grow.

xo,
Leigh

If You Could Do Anything

1. Joy, 2. day three hundred and seventeen

I have been on a major kick of trying to figure out what my passion is and what excites me in order to live the life of my dreams. Throughout this process, I've leaned fairly heavily on some wonderful personal development blogs. One of the exercises I found extremely helpful was to answer this question, "If I could do absolutely anything, what would I do?"

I would:

• start a stationery line.
• design accessories.
• open up the shop my bestie Natasha and I have daydreamed about.
• attend every Li Edelkoort presentation. Ever.
• travel. travel. travel to hawaii, london, siem reap, tokyo, agra fort, bombay, south africa, mexico, paris, morocco.
• go to SXSW every year, including the panels.
• scout, recruit, hire, help, collaborate with and connect hip, indie, young, emerging &/or inspiring designers.
• meet gala darling.
• live out loud, authentically, happily and beautifully.

What does your list look like? I'd love to hear what you would do.

The aforementioned personal development blogs that I find inspirational: The Art of Nonconformity, Christine Kane's Blog, Steve Pavlina, Icing by Gala Darling, Makeunder My Life, Nubby Twiglet* & White Hot Truth.

*perhaps not personal development, but a wonderful resource for graphic designers.

Point The Way

My dear readers,

I am going through some potentially BIG life & career changes. There is an amazing opportunity looming on my horizon, so I have to spend a little while hunkered down trying to make this happen. I hope you'll understand why I've been away for a few days. Posts might be a little sparse in hopes that I can announce some amazingly good news very soon.

X's & O's,
Leigh

Lolita Love

I just might love this Lolita Heart Eye Mask by Lovely Art.

The Face Project

The FACE/project by Tina Berning.

Too Pretty To Ignore

This reminds me of my friend Paige. If I had the money, I'd buy it for her and hold onto it until her birthday in November. You can pick up this Kendra Scott bracelet at Gilt Fuse.

My Message In A Bottle

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Message In A Bottle Necklace by Sisply at Etsy.

Valentine by Isobel Blake

I am extremely jealous of this hip girl, especially her nerdy glasses, pink lips and shaggy bob. Valentine print by Isobel Blake at Red Velvet Art.

The Black Apple Coasters

Wouldn't this be a cute hostess gift? We all know that I adore The Black Apple, but what you might not know is I have a secret love of coasters. Extremely dorky but true. Coasters were among my first purchases when I moved into my last apartment. So surprise me, or one of your friends, with this lovely set avialable at Shana Logic.

Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer

Add this absolutely scrumptious necklace from Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer to my lust list. Too bad it's from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection because I want to wear it now.
