2nd May 2010 in Architecture & Interiors

Ever since the preliminary posts for Apartment Therapy‘s Small, Cool contest started pouring in last month, I’ve been glued to my feed reader waiting (albiet, fairly impatiently) for each new entry. There’s nothing I love more than a well-designed space or an itty-bitty little home. Did anyone ever watch that show Small Space, Big Style? LOVED that show. I was crushed when it stopped airing a few years ago. Anyhow, AT’s Small, Cool contest (much like Small Space, Big Style did) showcases real spaces designed by real people that are quite extraordinary and all under 1000 square feet. There are five divisions to the contest – four based on sizei, and one international division – and visitors vote each round for their favourite space until only one is left standing and crowded the winner. The contest is held annually each spring, and ever since I discovered Apartment Therapy, I’ve looked forward to it. It’s so refreshing, and there are a lot of really clever design solutions. It takes a certain knack to design for a small space, and these people do it with major style! While some of these spaces have already been eliminated already (aw), I figured I could still show my extra support for them and cheer on those I love that are still in the running.

10th April 2010 in Head Over Heels In Love With

I realize I only just posted a Head Over Heels entry on Tuesday, but I had so so many things that I’m madly in love with at the moment, that they ended up spilling over into a second post. Voila, part 2!

Because I feel a girl crush forming… she’s so lovely. I really enjoyed watching her in Alice in Wonderland (2010) and Amelia (wasn’t expecting her there, so it was a pleasant surprise!).

20th December 2009 in Video

This may be a bit of a shameless pimp, but I was going to post about this eventually anyway, so does that make me less biased? In any case, I’ll take it because I simply must share with you the wonders of Lily and the Muse, a video archive dedicated to beauty on film. I’ve recently joined as a contributor which is exciting in itself, and I’m super thrilled to be a part of such a lovely project. My delight aside, the site is plum full of beautiful little gems from commercials, to music videos, to film clips and much more.

So I wanted to share some of my personal favourite videos with you all, and, of course, encourage you to check out Lily and the Muse. :)

This has got to be one of my all-time favourite commercials. It’s so sweet and whimsical. For one, it’s downright awesome for featuring the lovely Annie Little and her song ‘Fly Me Away’. Two, I love stop motion films. And three, it makes me want to play dress-up! A very charming advertisement.
