Skittles: rainbow deliciousness and one of my fav ongoing ad campaigns by TBWA/Chiat/Day New York. As if the TV spots weren’t great already, this site is super FUN. If only they had a virtual candy dispenser.

The Bumblebeez “Misfit” from The Glue Society on Vimeo.

If I morphed into what I saw today then I’d become a margarita. Could be worse right? Enjoy this video.

I know. I’m sorry. It’s been forever. I’m asking for your forgiveness with Mary & Matt’s minimalist-inspired chocolate bars. *pouting face & puppy dog eyes*

Here’s a gem of a website that I’ve been tucking away because I adore it so much, I don’t want to share. Call it what you want, I suggest hoarding and/or being selfish, but I’m at a point in our relationship where I’m okay with letting you into my world of enchantment, also known as, Present & Correct. Enjoy.

Apples & Owls does not promote cigarette smoking….but with packaging as good as this, we can make exceptions. On second thought, I highly recommend Cigarette Juice instead. Anyhow, ASYL is responsible for art direction of these which not only make it easier to distinguish flavors, but instead of a flip top opening, they slide out from the slide. Skillionaire!

We heart The Curiosity Shoppe. (Yeah, me and about 60% of the female population in SF. And maybe 25% of males) They have a new exhibit up by Treatzone, another gem of San Francisco. I visited during their opening and yes, there was candy corn and Tecate. MmMmmmmm. And lovely ghosts painted on postcards.

I stumbled upon Ryan Boyle’s exhibit on my way to see some works by Charley Harper and was pleasantly surprised. Quirky and playful, his sculptures are actually made primarily of paper. (!) Can’t wait to see more of his work.

The London 2012 Olympic pictograms were unveiled this week, representing each of the sports and disciplines.  SomeOne in London decided to design a silhouette version and a new ‘dynamic’ line drawing version, used especially for outdoor. What do you guys feel about this new look?
