Gary Pepper Vintage: colormekatie.

Don't you just hate when you have a ridiculously busy day planned and then you sleep past your alarm and suddenly that one extra hour of sleep has sent your whole day going backwards? Well, that was me this morning. I woke up late, quickly checked my emails, checked the store and read my daily blogs, like usual. I then stumbled across a beautiful and fascinating blog 'colormekatie' by a 22 year old photographer/street artist living in Brooklyn, and suddenly it didn't matter what time it was or what i had to get done today. I spent the next two hours reading her blog front to back, saving as many photos as i can to my inspiration folder and laughed so hard that i started crying... twice! Not only is she adorable, creative and super talented but she's funny, as well! She spends her days making amazing artworks out of colorful paper, glues them around her house, leaves cute notes under her kitchen table and walks invisible dogs, has straw glasses to drink out of her cups and leaves wonderful surprises around her neighborhood for strangers to find. She believes kind gestures and playful colors will brighten anyone's day and i suppose she's right, my day looks a hundred times better after being colored by katie...

Defiantly worth having a look and don't forget to watch her youtube clips too! In one, they have actors burst out into a musical about fruit in the middle of a supermarket just to make some peoples day a little bit funnier. And plus, she cannon balls into bed, her cat can fly, she wears glitter as shoes and has my dream house. In my opinion, this is the best blog i have ever seen. Now off to photograph 200 new items for the store...
