Good morning & hello, apparently today is the happiest day of the year, happyhaps! It’s ridiculously sunny outside (apart from that ominous cloud… boo) and I woke up with a kitten foot in my face, so I’m totally buzzy :D:D

These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The ‘…happily ever after’ is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.

• We’ll kick the week off with this delicious set of photos from Dina Goldstein. The images represent real life depictions of fairytale princesses when their happily-ever-after hit a fail. Lovely, dark imagery… although I would have preferred un-disneyfied costumes for this set, but princess costumes are hard to come by I guess! More here

• I’ve been looking for new art for the house, this was featured on a blog somewhere yesterday and I bookmarked it straight off. Lovely! Infact, a lot of the stuff in this store is super cute, http://www.bodieandfou.com/

• I will turn you all into trekkies, I will! I will!!!

• Kudos to HBO/digital kitchen and their advertising campaign for Trueblood, featured on the CR blog. This campaign sees HBO join forces with other companies to create a great viral ad series.

• Hello floating kitten, I love you xoxo

• I needed a new bag for work, mainly because I want to start walking down. At the moment I have a shoulder bag with my laptop and other bits in, and then an extra bag full of notebooks, sun lotion, pencils etc. Not very good for walking with due to shoulder killage. Anyway, I found this jansport bag on amazon yesterday and it even has a laptop section! So I snapped it right up :)
