Sasa Antic, Stylist

I've just been introduced to the work of stylist Sasa Antic via sweethomestyle. You've probably seen some of these photos before - they've been appearing in a lot of decor blogs lately. Her style is very fresh, clean and colorful. These are some of my favorite images from her site.

Inspired by My Marrakesh

One of my all-time favorite blogs is My Marrakesh. Each post is beautifully illustrated with lovely photographs and makes a return visit well worth it. I was inspired by one of my favorite posts (on Yemeni tribal jewelry) to try taking similar pictures using my own silver jewelry. I borrowed Mr. R's DSLR and added a macro filter. I'm not sure what equipment Maryam uses; I'd love to know.

Take the Blogrankings challenge

Joni of the fabulous Cote de Texas blog invited design bloggers to join Blogrankings. As a new design blogger (although I've been blogging since 2004), I'm sure I'll be nowhere in the top 500 (being optimistic here), but hey, what's life without a little challenge?

The upside? I'm discovering a lot of new-to-me design blogs. There goes the rest of the week.

If you are a design blogger, join in!
