Duchess Catherine & Princess Eugenie

I swear my Middleton madness will die down soon... maybe... they're just so damn lovely! It's usually the highlight of my working day when a new story about them pops up. The two photos above are from the recent Epsom Derby.

Jessie Juxtaposed... ISWYDT

All credit to Saskia the Style Fairy for alerting me to the above the moment I logged on to Blogger this morning. I was simply too shocked not to post on my own blog, but make sure you jump over and follow Saskia if you don't already!

If you don't know who Jessie J is, well, I can't say I really blame you. Up until now I liked her a heck of a lot more than Lady Gaga, but she's still not really my thing. Everything about her look was far too harsh (click here to open a photo in a new window if you still can't place her).

Now I know I'm at risk of being a total hypocrite when talking negatively about her old super-straight, super-blunt fringe (bangs), because I just can't seem to stop attempting to make one work myself. However I think that after seeing the above pictures of Jessie from the Woman of the Year Glamour Awards UK (in which she was named Woman of Tomorrow) I may be finally convinced that every girl needs eyebrows. Which you would expect me to know by now, considering how much care I give mine... in my defense, I battle with having both well-groomed eyebrows, and a fivehead. Dilemma. I also have trouble accepting the fact I have a round face and while I know I absolutely should not even attempt a fringe... I just can't help it. But if even strong-jaw-Jessie can't pull it off, I really have to let it go

I digress.

The 'new' Jessie J looks a zillion times more gorgeous than the 'old'. Fin.

Link: How to steal like an artist

I posted one of Austin Kleon's newspaper blackout artworks last year. A week ago he published this blog post, which has only just come to my attention on Twitter.

It's going viral, so check it out while it's hot. I absolutely love it, it's brilliant. So many sentences made me nod enthusiastically as I read them. I wanted to quote from the post, but I just couldn't choose a sentence, so anyway- stop wasting time here and just go read it, right now. All of you- artists, writers, those who doubt they have a fiber of creativity within them. Go!

Tracey Potter

I have just come across the artwork of Tracey Potter, and I absolutely adore it. Potter is based in Queensland Australia, and has a lot of work for sale through her Facebook page. Below are my favourite images from an album on her page which documents the progress of her My Little Dear painting. There are more than 30 other albums of work to drool over when you have the time. I think I have found the inspiration I needed to make me pick up my paintbrush again.

Kathryn Tyler

Twitter went a little crazy for an hour last night, while everyone lusted over the house featured on Grand Designs. Grand Designs is one of my favourite shows on TV and I'm so glad it's screening on Sunday nights now so I don't miss it. I'm not sure how long ago last night's episode originally screened overseas, but it featured interior designer Kathryn Tyler, and her house was absolutely my favourite to date (followed closely by the art deco house.) David just linked me to photos of her house so now I can drool over it for a while longer. If you like what you see, go and check out her website. I'm going back to scrolling through her blog photos now...
