Hey guys,

I hope everybody is having a wonderful weekend. Here's some of the images which have been inspiring me this week to kick start your Sunday.

These galaxy nails are gorgeous.

I love the colours and the blending used to create this look.

This dress is a beauty!

Amen.

I need this kitchen!

I could happily stay in a caravan if the bedroom nook was this pretty!

Pretty pastel make up and nail colours.

Cute little daschunds in crocheted hair scarves!

Would you believe me if I told you this was a sculpture? I still can't believe it myself! It was created by hyperrealist Ron Mueck along with three other giant sculptures which will be on exhibition at the Fondation Cartier in Paris until September 29th.

This is an American woman with a full tattooed body-suit taken in 1931! The article it's taken from "The Original Painted Ladies", is about tattooed ladies from the early 1900s, and I found it so fascinating.

Who can relate? Hands up, ladies!

This plait-within-a-plait plait is lovely. It's been a while since I last did something like that.

Can you imagine taking a bath with that view to unwind with? I'd never want to get out of the tub.

There aren't enough words to describe how much I love this outfit.

This is so pretty.

These German Chocolate Macaroons sound divine. I must be about the only person who's never eaten a macaroon (still), but I fancy giving this recipe a go. It seems pretty straight-forward.

I also like the sound of these Chocolate Coconut Pecan Pie and Nectarine Lime Fruit Tart recipes, and how cute are these Pumpkin Dinner Rolls?!

A telephone booth china cabinet!

A man walking a crab... y'know, as you do.

At the end of the day, big cats are just like overgrown house cats! (What is it with pets and cardboard boxes? My rabbits used to go crazy for them!) The leopard / jaguar crammed in to his box is my personal fave.

Just be yourself, not who you think they want you to be.

This couple recreated scenes from The Notebook for their wedding cards. I wonder how much she had to bribe him to go with it!

[Source]

This is beautiful.

Well played.

A huge list of cosmetics companies who DO NOT test on animals! I was pleasantly surprised to learn a few brands I love are cruelty free. I've always thought Benefit, Too Faced, Urban Decay, Bourjois, Barry M, and Stila (amongst others), were animal tested, so I'm pleased to learn they're not.
