We've had nothing but heavy rain and blusteryness all week bringing down lots of leaves Appropriately, I found this episode of Roobarb & Custard called "When the Tree Fell to Pieces" on YouTube. Now, because I am very clever ;o) and just learnt how to embed videos into my blog, I'm able to share it with you! Roobarb comes up with an ingenious plan to try to hang on to Autumn for a bit...
you hold me up Trousers - vintage Top & Basque - H&M (is that a basque? Corset') I'm obsessed with these trousers, the photos in no way express their full potential. I'm obsessed with trousers generally, I definitely do not have enough pairs. Nude lips, copper eyes. Inspiration is landing heavy blows, but unfortunately a lot of it is literature-based, which makes it harder to share with you...

So I have picked out out some of my own pink favourites to share with you... Pink hydrangea ❖ Top Shop pastel pink ruffle dress (2008) ❖ selection of CD's with guitar Christmas tree decoration ❖ selection of jewellery on vintage pink cake stand ❖ Lula...
I finally managed to get a few photos of my "Typoporto" book this morning. I hope you like it. It is the result of this research which I blogged a few weeks ago. We had the crit for the project last Friday and my tutor said I shouldn't have put the colour parts in, and kept it all white. Maybe he's right, but I kind of needed a bit of something zingy with the red and lime (although the last...

"In the war of oranges," this vintage ad claims, "Smirnoff is neutral." I don't think they can say the same about their stance on the War of Pants vs. No Pants. Click to enlarge. [VintageAds] [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
I do struggle with the vintage/grungy/distressed look but thought I'd try as I had these papers already printed from last year. They are from the Grungy Christmas pack by Designer Digitals printed onto mat photo paper so I've been able to sponge all the edges with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. The cardlayout is the sketch over on the Cupcake challenge blog turned sideways and the image is Sugar Nellie's...

Individually, many Muslims are just what their defenders say - peaceful, normal people, with families that are very like our own. However, thanks to the aggressive proselytizing of some violent, antisemitic, medieval-minded adherents, the world is seeing outbreaks of violence, and the "peaceful" types are not acting to stop their influence. They are sitting in mosques where hate is spewed,...

Sam Gunn is one of Bova's three main creations dealing with our "near future". The...
There's a fifth taste? Absolutely — just as there was a fifth Beatle. Most people know the John, Paul, George and Ringo of taste buds: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. But scientists insist there is a fifth, a gustatory Billy Preston: umami. Preston, naturally, played keyboards for the "Let it Be" album and most of "Abbey Road." But umami? What's that? If the term sounds foreign...
