It’s been a little quiet around these parts lately — I haven’t been super motivated to post anything. But hey, we all need a little break sometimes right?

I’m completely in love with the dreamy quality in this week’s Fancy. The lovely images and email content come to you from product designer Joey Roth, the clothing retailer Free People, the San Francisco online magazine 7×7, and the online font shop Hype for Type.

Strike My Fancy is a weekly sneak peak into my inbox that showcases a collage of the most beautiful email I received over the past week.

It’s Monday and we all know what that means. More email.

Big thanks to MyFonts.com, Threadless, and Design Observer for providing the content and inspiration.

Strike My Fancy is a weekly sneak peak / collage into the most beautiful emails I received the week prior.

When last week’s Font Shop email popped into my inbox, I immediately knew that Antonio Banderas would be debuting in this week’s Strike My Fancy design.

I have no idea why, but there’s some weird nostalgia for me in Antonio Banderas’ name. I never knew he had a soccer career (I thought it was a music career until duly corrected below) and have zero Hispanic background.

To top it off, while working on the design, I couldn’t help but think that his name might fit well in a spinoff of the Barbara Streisand song. If you haven’t heard the Barbara Streisand song, you must.

It’s Monday again, but not just any Monday. I experienced my first earthquake! It was a 3.8 in South San Francisco if you’re curious.

This week I was inspired by an email from my former city of residency that came in just in the nick of time. Congrats Nate!

Yowza! Has a Monday ever felt so crazy? Thankfully, I was feeling productive this morning, and Free People was very kind to my inbox this week.

It’s Monday, and that means Strike My Fancy 06 is here. Threadless caught my eye this week with a funky, kelly green hero image for their eco tees. Other image credits go to Counter-Print (books), Art Co-op (text), and Design Observer (bottom bar).

It’s Monday (again already?!) and time for your weekly sneak peak into my inbox from the past 7 days. Net-a-Porter tops the charts with their gorgeous Parachute Silk imagery.

It’s Monday already and time for another Strike My Fancy, your weekly sneak peak into my inbox. This week’s email images are brought to you by Behance, The Zoe Report, Three Potato Four, ISO50, and Soia & Kyo.

Oh, and have you heard? E-mail is now email. Thank you AP Stylebook!

It’s Monday and that means Strike My Fancy, your weekly sneak peak into my inbox is here. Beautiful things happen when Diesel and Banana Republic collide. Wouldn’t you agree?

This evening I was planning to announce my new Commute Design challenge for the month ahead, but sadly, I forgot my trusty Virgin Mobile wireless card, which meant no world wide web on the train for me. And no www means no blog post.

Rather than no post at all, I’ve decided to start a new weekly column called Strike my Fancy. You may remember that last week I created an email collage from emails that I’d been collecting over the past week.

I receive sooo many emails that I’ve decided it might be fun to give you a peak into my inbox each week. Here’s week 2 of Strike my Fancy.

Images you see here are from Net-a-Porter, Apple, SWSX, Design Story, Uniqlo, Piperlime, Erdem: The Interview by Net-a-Porter, and Threadless
