Current obsession- Cuffs

Not sure how long this trend has been around but I keep seeing arm cuffs lately and they look very chic. I'm not talking about elaborate ones that look like they'll get caught on everything, there seems to be a move towards sleek designs that look elegant and timeless. Found a few images of ones that I love.

Wreck this journal

I don't know about you but I've been seeing a lot of images on the internet about wreck the journal. Some of the images have been stunning!

It's basically a journal that you fill with your emotions and fun images. People are encouraged to find new ways to make art within the covers, so spilling coffee on the pages, poking hole through it or tearing the pages is encouraged. The freedom and mistaking making concept is quite fun.

I love having a journal but often forget to write in it regularly. Instead I'm a doodler so this is perfect for me.

Theses are a few of my favourites.

 

This is a great idea! definitely doing some travel ones that will make me smile when I look back.

Winter coats

A great winter coat is worth its weight in gold! It pulls an outfit together and offers protection from the elements. My coat is bright red (wallflower?!? I think not) and nips in at the waist with a large collar that can be worn open or buttoned up into a roll collar. I always feel damn awesome in it. Here are a few that make me happy for winter.

Beautiful Art

Something about that...

We are often very visual creatures and a well crafted painting/ drawing/ piece of art can move us. While I wait for my exams to start arriving, I kill time with some images that I love. All can be found on my pinterest page https://www.pinterest.com/laus_stephen/art/ or at the links below the images.
