White and Whimsical

I stumbled across the above photo of Milla Jojovich on This is Glamorous and fell in love. The little girl in me squeals with excitement when I think about going at an oversized canvas in a whimsical “dress-up” dress. A childhood dream come true? From the colorful doodling to the white feathered fringe, you bet it is.
The collage below gives a bit of a peek into my imagination. It took me some time to get it right, but I think this sums up my girlish fantisies quite well.  If I were to throw a party in honor of daydreams, this eclectic and ethereal mix may just do them justice.

Redddddd This!


Lisbeth Zwerger is my favorite illustrator. She. Is. Amazing. Please buy all her books so she never stops. One of my favorites is her Wizard of Oz. There’s a full spread of the characters in a field of red poppies that is so beautiful and whimsical and strange. It makes me want to live in her books.

Gadgets I Need


I may love super girly things like Anjelica’s post about that pink cake, but I love electronics too. I am always looking for new headphones, an interesting clock for my living room, a robot friend etc. So when I saw this concept for the new PS3 system and I went kind of google-eyed. I think a nicely designed product that is both functional and beautiful is hard to find. Often when I do stumble on the perfect thing, its a ‘concept’ piece, which just means it hasn’t been put into production just yet. But one can dream, right?
