Before I run off

By: Gabriela Yareliz

I have been called in to work today. It turns out there will be a Spanish speaking group there… ahh the benefits of being a polyglot. I encourage anyone who has any slight interest in any culture or language to go for it. It will always pay off. It adds something to you. People always have the lame excuse that no one has taught them. That is what is partially wrong with the world. People want to be taught everything. No one seeks on his/her own, and in the end the public gets spoon-fed a bunch of lies and it is okay with that (I love how I can get political in one sentence nah?) Anyway… before I run off I thought I’d share some cool things I found. (Sorry for the typos)

1. Kitty

I really like these shoes. I want a pair… they are so unique. If you hate shoes, at least appreciate them for what they look like. CUTTEEEE.

2. Hollywood and Bollywood are coming together for  vegan cookbook. So exciting! I am trying to go completely instead of vaguely Vegan– so, this appeals to me.

3. Be Yourself

So true! There is something refreshing about someone confident in their own skin, not trying to be like anyone else. Everyone dies, but not everyone lives, right?

4. Marion Cotillard

On the cover of Vogue Paris. She is my fav. French star. She is a unique character.

I thought she looked great on the cover (this is the journalist in me coming out).

5. Letters

Speaking of random things… I got a shower curtain with cool letters and typography on it. Only a designer/ journalist would appreciate that shower curtain as much as I did. I am so excited.

It reminded me of the film Helvetica, which documents the evolution of the “font.” Wow… this takes me back to editing capstone days.

Some of us care to much about letters and words. Is it weird that when you look at a sign instead of reading it you are looking at the typography? Does design really mess up your mind?

6. Iconic

Have an amazing day.
