mixxo design

meet anslie fletcher, the graphic artist of milk and honey, the aussie clothing line that i've posted last week. mixxo design was born from anslie's desire to combine graphics with interior products. the lampshades are made out of her graphics, which is a mixture of illustration, collage and pantings printed onto fine art paper. other products are ranging from wall prints, commercial print design and other textile and graphic for interiors.

i love melbourne ad

saturday morning and it's cold and cloudy and i'm still here lying on my bed with my laptop infront of me. i'm so lazy and i'll just blame it on the weather :) above is my current fave tv commercial for melbourne tourism. it's been on tv for quite a while and i fell in love since first time i saw it. there was an actress was walking a giant red ball of string along the way because she's afraid to get lost in melbourne. the most beautiful tv ad i've seen from such a simple and original idea. the cute background music is by an indie artist joanna newsom. hope you enjoy it.

dedicated to you all

i really love the idea that lovely dawbis started on her blog post about getting to know your blog readers better. i think this is such a brilliant idea; i have to do a similar post as i don't really have a proper introduction, nor i do know much about you all who are reading my blog. dawbis, if you are reading this post, you are more than welcome to say hi too :)

so my name is laura, but some people also call me lola - it's my high school nickname. i went to an all-girl school back then and they called me lola to differentiate myself to other lauras. i grew up in jakarta and after high school i flew to rotterdam to do a communication study which i have completed last year. i moved to sydney december last year and got my first job in a web design agency. i turned 24 last month.

i always adore design and artworks, hence i created this blog as an archive of beautiful things that make me happy. i'd love to do something more creative later on but don't know yet what exactly it is. i love travelling, movies, music, cafes and dining out. once in a while i read some novels too. i love weekends but i hate sunday nights. less is more, it's my favourite one-liner.

so what about you? feel free to leave a comment bloggy fellas if you feel like to. i have also installed meebo chatbox in my blog, so please do not hesitate to say hello when you see me online :)

josh pyke

last night i went to see josh pyke's concert with some friends. he has good music, he sings and plays guitar very well, but i think i'll have to think twice before i decide to go to a calming acoustic concert like this. don't get me wrong, not that i didn't enjoy it, but i guess this kind of concert is not very me. but anyway! i think he has a very wonderful website, i like the illustrations a lot! moreover, all of his cd covers and video clips (private education, middle of the hill, and memories and dust) are truly amazing! wonder who were behind this whole beautiful package? excellent works!
