2012: 12 INSTAGRAM MOMENTS

Love it or hate it, but 2012 was definitely the year of Instagram. Although I am still trying to put together a "best of" post, I thought that a year in review through Instagram could be more telling. Here are 12 big, bright & bold moments of 2012...

1: My friend Kendra's visit to LA. We had such a blast at the Huntington Gardens photographing all the strange and colorful Cacti! 

2: The first Palm Springs trip, especially the Trina Turk store and our Norma's brunch. 

3: My Otis pattern design class with Toxi Dixson. So inspiring! 

4: Dining in new Los Angeles restaurants with good friends. Sashi is always a favorite!

5: The Blogshop class I got the chance to take. Hope I get to make some videos soon!

6: Our Silverlake Urban Hiking Adventure and discovering many new colorful boutiques.

7: Staying at the incredibly big, bright and bold Saguaro Hotel. Our room had a twenty foot orange wall. It was heaven!

8: Morroco! The entire trip was a life changing experience. I could easily have 100 moments from Morocco alone. Check out the entire Morocco Month here. Riding a camel for three days through the Sahara will be an event that can never be forgotten. 

9: The Marrakech Souks: pouf and rug shopping while wandering through the Marrakech Souk was such an enchanting time. I hope to go back and explore more. Staying at La Mamounia is definitely on my bucket list! 

10: Two Catalina trips: what a fabulous day trip from Los Angeles. I especially love the Art Deco Casino Murals.

11: The San Diego Weekend and our awesome Pacific Beach Tower 23 hotel: a hot pink wall and a Pixel Wallpaper at the Art Museum were the icing on the cake.

12: The Blik 10 Year Party + Blik Daltrey Clinic mural designs. I am so fortunate to have worked with such a creative team!
