just a lil' somethin' to commemorate my trip

SMOKINGKIDS

this series of portraits entitled 'Smoking Kid's' obviously caught me off guard..  i was enchanted at what  brilliant little actors these kids were.  i also love the creative behind it, especially the attention to detail in the clothes...  photographs by frieke janssens

SURF'SUP

hmmmmm.  although i'm all down for the florals, the pastels, the animal prints, lace etc.  i must say that this trend has me a little trumped.  call me a sissy but back in high school my idea of sports was asking my coach if i could use the restroom AGAIN so i could go and catch my breath...  i would feel like i was just lying to people if i wore the sports inspired look head 2 toe.  mind you, i did buy a neoprene scuba pencil skirt and i think it will pair back to a white tee and leather jacket JUST FINE.  head's up!

ENCHANTEDDOLLS

I've been spending A LOT  TOO MUCH time on the Enchanted Doll website. Slightly obsessed with how Marina Bychkova is able to create such exquisite pieces.  Her dolls are all made in porcelain and are ball jointed.  Marina then paints them and as you can see, they are pretty lifelike!  Honestly some of the outfits are just bananas.  Imagine how much time you would spend making those little clothes?!  I think Marina has the best job EVER.  Visit her website at www.enchanteddoll.com for more information.  

I've just gifted myself the book and hope to have a doll someday!
