Alice Dellal's Chanel Campaign

Chanel confirmed Alice Dellal as the new face of its "Boy Chanel" handbag line back in December. It’s been a long four-month wait, but now finally the four-image campaign has been revealed. Alice Dellal maintains her punk indie-girl cred by wearing ripped tights in the new ad campaign. I can't help but love it!

Dark Shadows


In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles. Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley) and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote).

I first saw Katie Daisy's gorgeous colorful lettering illustrations in Flow magazine. I fell in love with the inspiring quotes she frames with beautiful watercolor drawings.

The Open Country of a Woman's Heart


This map of a woman's heart was made in the early 1800's. It isn't very positive; The 'Land of Oblivion' lies next to the 'Land of Selfishness'. The curious thing is that this map is signed by 'a Lady', while curators agree that it is most probably made by a man.
