The second print is this lovely William Blake number. This one I’ve had for so long that I can’t even remember where I originally found it but it’s definitely a personal favourite – I’ve always found Blake’s artistic works to be really striking.
Weekend Reading:
- Still hungering for more fashion from the Met Ball? Refinery 29 has you amazingly well-covered.
- The fabulous grand dames of NYC.
- The most perfect set of advice for busting up a wedding ever.
- Fascinating read about communities of both bigotry and tolerance in the Ozarks.
- The early modern equivalent of Pantone.
- For the book lover.
- Oh wow this is sad. There are some real idiots out there.
- Amazing – having spent a ton of time in NYC while in grad school, I am always entranced by the hidden places.

Can you please, please, please decorate my home? I really would love to have some of my favorite prints hung up, but my interests are so mishy mashy, my Medieval stuff looks weird against my comic prints! AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED on Blake's fleshy, disproportional, and wide-eyed paintings that scream of gorgeousness.
The way we just abandon things is almost mystifying to me, it seems like it should be illegal or something.
The book of watercolor swatches is amazing. It's a beautiful dedication to one's craft.
Chic on the Cheap
I love paintings. I mostly like the ballerina inspired brush stroked pieces by Degas.
I can clearly recall this Lady of Shallot painting, as we had to read the poem in high school and our English teacher pointed out ever single detail. I'd somehow completely forgotten this memory until now :)
