10 Lessons for Young Designers

These are some insightful and thought-provoking lessons from Wieden+Kennedy’s Executive Creative Director, John C Jay: 10 Lessons for young designers.

1: Be authentic. The most powerful asset you have is your individuality, what makes you unique. It’s time to stop listening to others on what you should do.
2: Work harder than anyone else and you will always benefit from the effort.
3: Get off the computer and connect with real people and culture. Life is visceral.
4: Constantly improve your craft. Make things with your hands. Innovation in thinking is not enough.
5: Travel as much as you can. It is a humbling and inspiring experience to learn just how much you don’t know.
6: Being original is still king, especially in this tech-driven, group-grope world.
7: Try not to work for stupid people or you’ll soon become one of them.
8: Instinct and intuition are all-powerful. Learn to trust them.
9: The Golden Rule actually works. Do good.
10: If all else fails, No. 2 is the greatest competitive advantage of any career.

Tuesday Shoesday: Vintage Mootsies Tootsies on Etsy

Say this post's title 5 times fast :) I just adore these gold (yes, gold) peep toes from My Grandma's Closet. The leather looks soft and supple, and they would be ideal for any wedding - bride or guest. If they were my size, I would definitely buy them (why are no shoes on Etsy in my size?)

Tuesday Shoesday: Black & White & Etsy

I've been spending an inordinate amount of time on Etsy. There are so many great vintage shoes on there. Today I'm featuring two pairs of black & white retro pumps that, were either in my size, I'd buy them straight away:

Salvatore Ferragamo heels from Nutmeg39



Leather Selby pumps from FunVintageLiving

Obsessed: Our Love by The Outfield

I am completely obsessed with this song. I can listen to it over and over and over.

The Force

Oh how I wish I had remote start on my car...

Hit them with the Kenny G

Need I say more?

Super Bowl ad

This is a great ad, too bad the car isn't as hot as the ad...

Super Bowl ad

Without analyzing it too much, this is by far one of the highlights of the night...

Love: Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man

I found this song on the iTunes top 100 a while ago. I love it!
