A much as I love Instagram to stay posted about my friend's adventures, I also love it to see breathtaking pictures and get a splash of creative inspirations! I follow accounts ranging from Patagonia to National Geographic, Veranda to L.L.Bean, in addition to my favorite designers. I always enjoy when I come across a new account and donaldrawbertson is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The artist has a knack and fetish for illustrating the likes of design, flamingos, fashion, giraffes, haute couture, and high class. Take a look at some of my favorite illustrations below! 

In addition to his whimsically delightful artwork, he captures other quirky and inspirational elements of his daily life. 

If you're looking for a change to your insta-newsfeed, I would totally recommend this account!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and keep the creative energy alive this week :)

Toodles!

How invested are you in social media? 

I heard last week that Google+ passed twitter & youtube to be the second most used social media channel (behind facebook, naturally). Read the article HERE if you're in disbelief as I was. 

I am still trying to play around with my google+ account, you can create your own with a gmail email. 

Since we are on the topic of social media, I wanted to share with you some of my pages. In branding Twirling Clare and trying to find the best inspirations for all of you...I spend a fair amount of my time on the vast amount of social media channels. 

I would love for you to follow along with me. And, if you have any questions about how to get your own social media sites started...feel free to ask, I would love to help you!

Below are some of snapshots of what my social media sites look like, you can click on the pictures to access the page...or any of the text that's colored in pink will take you there as well.

"Kick-off to Summer" Giveaway

Hello Twirling Clare readers! I have a couple of exciting announcements as we begin our summer. First, I am officially presenting my tumblr page to my readers. Tumblr is another website which functions on a blog style format. Instead of posting once or twice a day like blog spot, you can post throughout the day sharing an assortment of pictures, quotes, videos, and more. This will be supplemental to my blog and the rest of the social media sites where you find Twirling Clare. I would love for you (especially those who have tumblr accounts) to join me on my latest adventure!

Check out my site HERE.

And my second piece of news, I think it is time for another giveaway!! 

I am pleased to have a pair of pearl earrings to giveaway to a lucky Twirling Clare fan. 

The earrings are a $30.00 value and are from Boston based jewelry company, Jojo Loves You. I was introduced to the company a few weeks ago when I did a brief feature on them for their Memorial Day sale. The site has many fun items, but every girl needs a fabulous pair of pearls and I hope you can be the winner!

Twirling Clare face-lift

As you can tell, Twirling Clare has gone through a bit of a "touch-up" process. I felt as though it was time to make the blog have a more updated look. I am thrilled with the layout and new header. I think this makes the site look much more professional and allows the reader to focus more time on the photo inspirations!

Danielle Moss, from Breakfast at Toast, worked with me on the blog designs. She has impeccably creative mind and has opened another site in which she provides services for blog updates and template designs. She includes a list of her services, an order form sheet, and a portfolio of the work she has done. If you would like more information about it check out Danielle Moss's Design Studio.

I can't begin to express how great Danielle was to work with and I love the new look. 

Let me know what you think about it!
