Let’s get to it, then!

• New Tim Walker shoot in this month’s UK Vogue.

• Adorable interior design on Design*Sponge. I want to live in that house so badly!

• Traditional Japanese style pokémon… Via geekologie
• Selleck Waterfall Sandwich ♥
• Did you hear about Twinkie Chan’s announcement? I’m super excited to see what’s going to be in store!

• I added some new necklaces and brooches to the store this week, you should go and check them out, they’re proving popular already! Squeee!

This was a short one, let me know if you have any pretty things for me to look at for next week’s edition!

Christ, this month’s vogue was really full of inspiration! Another great find in there was the series of typefaces designed especially for the fashion fantasy issue. The designer behind these fonts was another female, Jo Ratcliffe (good on the female designs for making such a great issue of vogue even better!).

The addition of these fonts made the articles and cover really POP! It’s fantastic to see fonts other than regular sans-serif’s used! woo for fancy fonts!

• Putting offers in for houses – it’s scary but also totally cool at the same time!
• Making and eating loads of salsa fresca and guacamole, bring on the antiox’s! Seriously though, how great is homemade salsa???
• Catching up on last weeks heroes via the iplayer on New Macbook
• This Sunday we’re heading to the MPH show at the Birmingham NEC, that’s right kids, your friendly neighbourhood HipHopper is a bit of a carspaz. (ZOMG get to see the topgear boys!).
• Booking tickets for a May trip to Hong Kong. How super thrilling! We’re going to see one of our besties who moved out there earlier this year for teaching purposes.
• Mary Kate and Ashley’s book, Influence, hasnt’ been released over here yet, but not long now! I’m looking forward.
• I feel proud for my country’s Vogue issue this month, have you seen it? It’s totally amazing. Have some scans…

  

  

  

  It’s full of delicious Roald Dahl inspired images featuring HBC and Tim Burton (photographer Tim Walker), juxtaposed with Book Art and amazing fashion. What more would a girl want?

  The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers. She whips a pistol from her knickers. She aims it at the creatures head, and bang bang bang she shoots him dead!

• It’s children in need day, which means loads of snacky nomnoms for tea whilst watching BBC personalities make themselves look like wankers. Oh, and of course, it’s all about the kids too.
• Adam bought me a most excellent CD just ‘cos I’m ace, it’s the Nightmare Revisited CD. Much fun to be had there I can say!
• I’ve beaten it out at the gym this week, fuck it was hard going. Anyway, I feel much better for it and am totally proud that I actually did my quota when I felt like giving up after 10 mins on the crosstrainer. So that’s good.

As a side note, has anyone read Twilight? I’m tempted to read it because of them film (but fuck, Cedric Diggory is not a vampire…). Also, the woman at the library was dressed like a bin bag the other day. Seriously, black shiny legging things, black boots and this totally ugly, hidiously badly cut shiny black shift dress thing. Do Not Want!
