Right Now I'm loving... (the internet in general really)

1. Hayden Williams: Fashion Illustrator

This chap is one of my Instagram discoveries and I am so delighted to have found him. His illustrations are very cool. 

Guess who??

He also has pretty cool pictures of Jennifer Lopez and the Olsens twins. 

All his stuff is up on Tumblr and it's well worth looking through because he does some pretty cool things with Disney Princesses and villains too.

2. New Girl Season 2

I love you Schmidt.

3. Pixiwoo

I did a little post a while ago about beauty blogs that I love but I have also been getting really into makeup tutorials too. Particularly those of sisters Nic and Sam Chapman of Pixiwoo.

Here are a small collection of my favourites...

This one is for Eva Green and she actually ends up properly looking like her!

They are coincidentally all from the Bond Girl series they did. 

I only started watching the videos after buying the Real Techniques brushes (go buy them now, they're available in Boots for the Galwegians!) and I have already learned so much! Also, now that Halloween is fast approaching they are going some Halloween inspired makeup. Well worth a watch. 

Cheers for reading,

Jane

When I came across this website, I knew I absolutely had to do a post on it. There is a quiet kind of creepy Diane Arbus quality to them (check out the siamese Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum) which being a fan of Diane Arbus really drew me to them. How I came by them is quite an odd little story too. As you may have noticed if you have been on Google at all, today - 23rd November - is the 60th anniversary of the publication of Stanislaw Lem's first book and due to a series of continuous browsing through a number of pages including the wikipedia page of a jackalope (mystical horned rabbit) I wound up on the blog of the lovely Miss Winfield Martin. Alice and Wonderland is a recurring theme throughout her work and with the melancholy palette it is just impossible not to love them. 

You can pick up some of her acrylics on Etsy for about $25 (less than €20) which would make them an ideal Christmas present...

...for me.
