Design Inspiration: Honey Kennedy

I think the first time I came upon Honey Kennedy, I sighed out loud because it made me so happy.  I have a thing for stars, and pretty much all things nautical.  Basically, this design tugs at my heartstrings.  I just love it.  This beautiful design was put together by the talented Anna Dorfman.

So besides loving everything in general about this blog, let’s talk about a few of the things that I’m dying to try out myself.  I really love the floating sidebar widget look, meaning that you can see the background in between each widget and the posting area, which makes everything look like it’s floating a little.  I’ve never done this on a design before, but I am dying to give it a try some time.

The footer is another thing that I think is handled wonderfully in this design.  I often feel stumped on the footer, and putting a gorgeous illustration makes you feel like you’re finding a pretty little nugget when you scroll down to the bottom.  So much fun!

I also love the boxes with the teal stripes as the background.  They stand out, but coordinate with the rest at the same time.  The social icons are great too, they’re simple but fun!  Make sure you hop on over to Honey Kennedy to check them out for yourself!
