victorian naturalist

*



I love old Victorian illustrations...their attention to details... And they always make me think about adventurous explorers discovering new species! Such wonderful times...now it seems there's not much left to discover.... :P

And while searching for these illustrations I found this wonderful shop - stellanova jewelry - inspired by the etchings of Victorian naturalists. Enjoy!

Marion Cotillard is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

*

She is such a great mix of strength and vulnerability...she's so beautiful and she's French! who could ask for more? :D
She's the best thing about the whole 'Nine' movie. I love this song.
And I can't talk about Marion Cotillard without thinking of my favourite Oscar moment, and if this doesn't move you, I don't know what will. Here's the link:

paint splatter and brush strokes - tattoos !?

*



Tattoos by Amanda Wachob  -  'she has been pushing the boundaries of the tattoo medium in order to blur the line between fine art and body art' 
I can't really decide if I like them or not... I mean I think her technique is amazing but it still looks like you've just got out of  a Jackson Pollock painting session :)

scandinavian knitwear

*

 


I'm loving the Arne & Carlos knitwear inspired by traditional Scandinavian patterns. I imagine myself wearing them in a mountain cabin in Norway, reading in front of the fireplace...

I love devendra banhart

My latest crush - Devendra Banhart
I love his music, I've been listening while drawing for the last two days... I find it very inspiring :)
I have a thing for men with long hair and his is just perfect! I love his style and his artwork... he's got it all :D
Listen to his albums on his website here

IKEA&cats

*







I always love it when two things that I really love come together - like when I found out that Lenard Cohen and Janis Joplin had an affair :D

IKEA UK recently let loose 100 cats in their Wembley store overnight  “just to see what happens”.
I would have loved to be there! Anybody who has ever owned a cat for more than 5 minutes knows how they love to investigate every little corner, to climb to the highest piece of furniture and declare autonomy on the comfiest spot in the room!

I heard about this experiment a few weeks ago and today I was looking on the IKEA website and I found this game that you can play and win IKEA furniture by guessing which piece the cats chose!

More details and delightful images with kitties nosing around in this video:


I love the slow motion with the cat landing on the glass table!! :D
