Dreamy Dresses from Dorothy Perkins

Found here.

There are so many lovely dresses to be found at Dorothy Perkins, here are some of my favorites right now. I love the simple prints and lines, and the nice retro cuts in most of them. Very flattering for a female body, which obviously is what each and every dress should be.

Liu Shuwei’s fantastic photographs


These photographs by Chinese artist Liu Shuwei are spectacularly beautiful. They make me want to travel all across China for the rest of my life, I think there is so much to discover there I would never have a boring day again in my life. Found via this post.

Mark Powell’s awesome art


I am so in love with these gorgeous bird drawings by amazingly talented British artist Mark Powell. Oh, and they are all made with a Bic pen. And he also does these equally amazing portraits of mainly old people. On vintage envelopes. That’s all. I love it. All of it.

David Fleck’s awesome art



David Fleck is a young (only 23!) British illustrator who is studying to be an architect. With this much talent going on already, I say the world is his to design. Some of these beautiful pictures are available as prints in his shop, or elsewhere. He also has a blog, and started a humanitarian project for creative students called the Tesseract. These cityscapes below are inspired by Italo Calvino’s wonderful book The invisible cities, which makes me long for a re-read. Dear Mr Fleck, you are rather brilliant!

from top to toe Etsy finds

Found here.
I’m running a bit behind with my autumn/winter wardrobe shift that I try to do this time every year. I am hoping I will get some time for it this coming weekend, because the temperature is dropping quickly and I hate freezing when it’s not necessary. That might sound odd to someone not used to Northern weather, but I do think it’s quite easy to stay warm with the right clothing and outfits. It’s called layering. And I’m an expert. Anyway, here’s a bunch of beautiful items I wouldn’t mind expanding my autumn/winter wardrobe with, all from Etsy as usual.
