Purple and Plum at the Oscars 2011

Hello hello! How are you lovely people? I've been very busy with school and dance and having no internet. Last night I skipped out of a dinner to relax on the couch and watch the Oscars. What a dazzling event it is! Purple and plum colours seem to have been quite popular last night (Anne's is more burgundy). Here are a few of my favourite looks from the evening...

Internet is finally working! I never realized how dependant on the Internet I've become. I didn't have it for the past few days and I was scrambling to get things done! Whoever first created this image or phrase: genius. More interesting tidbits to come!

I love these Fashion shots from the decade after World War II. Richard Avedon is an amazing and legendary photographer who has definitely taken some incredible and iconic pictures...

Happy Birthday Jules Verne

Don't you just love today's Google logo? A classic and whimsical submarine theme in honour of one of the great science fiction novelists, Jules Verne.I'm sure you've heard of his stories, or at least seen some of the movie adaptations, no? Well I love looking at the vintage book covers for his work...

Rainbows

Happy Monday! Not so happy for me, with a presentation, an essay, and an exam all on the way. But that's just me grumbling. I wish it was the weekend!
"Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them." ~A great quote from John Shirley.
Here are some really cool rainbow-themed pictures. Some of these are giving me a sweet tooth!

Tropical Trip

Almost vacation time (for one week) and I'm scrambling to get as much school work and dance done before I leave next week. I'm off to the Philippines to escape the chilly weather and visit family in the tropics. Here are a few pictures from previous trips...Traffic!
