65. HARD AS NAILS

Square cut or pear shaped these rocks don't lose their shape!

Glamorous, stylish, and they can transform your entire look... no not diamonds, nails!

No longer is nail art just tacky white airbrushing on clunky acrylic, it's  evolved into a sophisticated modern art form that is both classy and cool if done right.
Dubbed "one of this season's hottest accessories", the colours, textures, lengths and shapes of nails today exude a luxury and sense of humor that's unique to this generation.
Finally.

47. DO YOU JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER?

A friend of mine just showed this to me again, something I haven't seen in almost a year; a website made by eight women now graduating from The London College of Communication.

It's a beautiful project about female identity- a study of the self and its interaction with another.

I Don't Know What's Gotten Into Me explores the synergy between artist and subject as it takes away the glossy lens of the social media and replaces it with another member of the group. 

The eight individual projects each explore a different aspect of personality as the girls define themselves through secrets, reactions, dance and dress up. Put together, the final piece accurately upholds their notion that "a single image can never be a full illustration of the individual."

I DON'T KNOW WHATS GOTTEN INTO ME

32. LONDON

24. CHANTING

it's 1am
and there is drunken chanting outside the bar across the street
it seems everyone in london knows the words.
it reminds me of watching musicals as a kid and worrying that if people break out into dance in real life, i wouldn't know the moves.

21. HAPPINESS

Superficial things that contribute to the immense happiness that is my life right now:


Snooki: "I don't go tanning tanning anymore because Obama put a 10% tax on tanning, and I feel like he did that intentionally for us. McCain would never put a 10% tax on tanning. Because he's pale and he'd probably wanna be tanned. Obama doesn't have that problem. Obviously."

People I live with making incredible food.

Hackney Wicked Festival... great people, amazing music and the cutest children ever. Check out Karma Junkie and Last Seen Wearing

Vanity Fair September Issue
Lady Gaga, Nick Knight, Ellen Von Unwerth... possibly the closest to perfect issue of a magazine I could ever ask for.
