Friday Find: Rachel Ryle

I forget how I stumbled across Rachel Ryle's Instagram account, but I was immediately hooked. She is a gifted artist who posts gorgeous, fun, short animations that have me watching on repeat and scratching my head as I try to figure out how they're done. (Stop motion, that's how.)

Her most recent video:

One celebrating Instagram's new logo:

Have you seen it!? Instagram has a new logo!! As you can tell from this animation, I'm totally 'digging' it!! It's so fresh, vibrant & fun! True, the original logo will forever have a special place in my heart, but I am loving the new look!

Springtime in New York:

Springtime in Paris (my favorite city!):

I've never been to Paris in the springtime, but in my dreams this is what it's like! The cheerful color of cherry blossoms line the sidewalks. Birds are chirping to the soft accordion music that fills the air. Historic buildings & beautiful architecture are waiting around every corner.

Packing for Jamaica:

This one is for anyone else who is also dreaming of a beach vacation! If you've been following my adventures on Snapchat or Facebook (@rachelryle) then you know that I've been a busy bee! I finally have a break in my schedule so I've painted my toes & packed my bags to sneak away!!

Coffee:

My favorite drink has two names depending on the coffeeshop that you order it from. Whether you call it a Gibraltar or a Cortado, let's just drink & enjoy some coffee! Cheers coffee lovers, this one's for you! PS I have mad respect for you baristas out there.

Aren't they mesmerizing?!
