09.11.2010- The ghost who walks

Today I came across this incredible shoot from Vogue Italia's March 2008 issue, featuring Karen Elson as shot by Craig McDean. I think the vivid colours are the perfect way to forget the gloomy weather (is it me or have the last few days been freezing?) and the whole shoot somehow reminds me of those marble ink paintings from primary school:

You can see the full editorial at NOIR FACADE.

Today I don't get much more artistic than drawing the occasional doodle in my university notebooks! But I do find this editorial very inspiring, I just might have to dig out some paints (or maybe colouring pencils, best not get too carried away!) Let's just hope stick men become the next big thing in the art world.

What do you think of this editorial? And are you as rubbish at drawing as I am? If not, I'm very jealous!

08.11.2010- There's no place like home...

Last week, H&M launched their home collection, which features some absolutely gorgeous bits and pieces to brighten up your bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom. Inspired by the fashion collections of the season, the range incorporates everything that I love about H&M: the quirky designs, vivid colours, and, perhaps most importantly of all, extremely reasonable prices which are perfect for a student budget. Here are some of my picks:

Heart cushion, £9.99.

 Paper Napkins, £1.99 each.

Tea Towel, £1.49.

Duvet Cover Set, £29.99

Pretty cute, no? To shop the collection, visit H&M.com. 

What do you think of the H&M home range? Will you be buying anything?

05.11.2010- Weekend Wishes

This weekend, I wish I could get lost in a good book that isn't on a required reading list!

What are your wishes for the coming weekend? And what's the best book you've ever read?
