I thought colour blocking was going to confuse even the most experienced fashionista but to mix match colour, animal, flower and psychedelic 70s prints? I just know some people are not going to put these outfits together well!
Here are some gorgeous editorials doing just that, featuring (one of the trendiest models of the moment) Charlotte Free on a blog I just discovered called Trendland. It is the go to site for all things trendy from art to culture to interior design and so much more.
I’m a lazy crafter

I’m in awe of people who are constantly making pretty crafty things. I like to do crafty things but I’m also very lazy when it comes to buying all the supplies and gathering little fussy bits and baubles to create something. I also hate getting glue on my hands.
This clever idea on the sweet paul blog changed my attitude. Everyone has an old, unwanted sweater stuffed in a drawer somewhere. Even if you don’t, thrift shops sell them for next to nothing. Take a vase, cut the sleeve off the sweater, place the vase in the arm and cut off about 2 ” from the bottom. Fold that 2″ in and voila, you have a very stylish winter vase. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, this would make a thoughtful gift for your mom or a close friend… don’t forget the flowers!
