• I recently rediscovered Designer’s Toolbox and its Design Resources section is a total lifesaver with tons of measurements and templates for everything you’ll ever need including standard web banners, envelopes, CD packaging and way, way more.

• Marie of Agent Lover gives us a dressing room view of what the Zac Posen for Target line really looks like.

• Interesting: A short history of debt.

• Why you should have bought Apple stock instead of products: “In 2001, a PowerBook G4 would have set you back $3500. Suppose instead that you had purchased $3500 in Apple stock instead of the computer…that stock would now be worth about $110,000. Even an original iPod’s worth in AAPL ($399) would be worth almost $12,000 today.” Le sigh.

• Tavi provides us with a full-on tour of 90s alt-teen girl bible Sassy with tons of photos and accompanying commentary. Take a trip down memory lane!

• Logorama: Pulp Fiction for brands. (thanks, ryan)

• Are you in need of an iPad stand? Here’s your 69 cent solution.

• For the upcoming NARS ad campaign, Francois Nars’ French bull dog Marcel will be the cover model. “A big presence in the makeup maestro’s life, Marcel leads a more whirlwind social life than most A-List celebrities, regularly hobnobbing with the likes of Marc Jacobs and Daphne Guinness at cocktail parties, and jetting with Nars to and from his private island in the South Pacific.” (thanks, bianca)

• I love the way people tend to gravitate towards certain colors and form collections around them.

  1. I always look forward to your link love and often include many of your own helpful posts in my links. Also, I was once asked to give a presentation on blogging and used both you and Gala as great examples for blogging as a way to market yourself, even if it isn’t the original intent of the blog.
    So, thank you for the consistent inspiration!!! I can always count on you for a unique and thought provoking perspective.
    regards,Brit

    I agree – Rocky is cuter. But damn, that dog is cute. [Full disclosure: it's one of my life goals to have a famous dog. Maybe my dog should start blogging/tweeting.]

    Love the yellow at the top of the colors post – I just decided that my new living room will be decorated in yellow, black, and white. :-D

    Isn’t it sad when a dog has a more exciting life than you do? sigh sigh…off to sipping ginger beer and pretending i’m not babysitting.

    Ohh, reading about those Apple stocks makes me want to curl into a ball and cry. How I wish I’d been in the investing mindset in 2001. Though, I was only 10 years old.
