Links I Love – Kate Moss & Warhol Jacobs

I absolutely love this link – why perserverance and grit will get you way further than smarts (work it gurl)! I gotta hone my focus and keep chipping away at where I want to be….
Why waiting for someone to “discover” your talents will keep you waiting forever. She who tries, puts herself out there, and pushes forward is most likely to get the furthest (put your reality television 15 minutes of fame ideal to the side and build something solid for yourself).
I’m kinda in love with this lifestyle tracker. It keeps a record of how you sleep, eat, and exercise while nudging you on with alerts and alarms to improve productivity and well being (cool no?).
Need a constant reminder to live life to it’s fullest every day? Hanging the Holstee Manifesto on your barest wall will do just that.
If you’re like me, somehow you always seem to be gifted a calendar for Christmas every year… can only hope for this clever “hidden word” one next year (updated of course)!
Distractions dragging you down? Why disconnecting downtime is vital to your work, personality and overall development (you must, must, MUST read this!).

I’m not sure why so many people think the Tokido Barbie is scandalous, but I wish she existed when I was growing up (that candy floss pink bob, those dragon tattoos and her cactus pet… <3).
Henry Miller’s 11 commandments are great reminders to stay focused and stick to the point (joyfully).
Love the architecture of these Reed Krakoff sandals… I think I need to go shopping soon…
Having a huge candy floss hair colour moment (as is the rest of the world)… loving these lavender and powdered pink shoots.
Sarah Joynt makes a good point - is the fashion industry too quick to accomodate the “it” people of the moment when serious work needs to be done by industry professionals? I know it’s all about the glamour and hype, but it just leaves me feeling sorry for the journalists with deadlines and minimal access.
First it was skull and rose pink tweezers for Tweezerman… now, Betsey Johnson is jumping into a beauty collab with OPI… I’m guessing sparkles galore!
Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) is currently offering up a free week subscription when you sign up – perfect for the industry insider or fashionista who needs to know the news right as it hits!

Something I definitely needed to read – why your every blog post doesn’t need to be perfect, ideal, or even finished… avoid the procrastination that comes with bloggers block!
Love online shopping but hate the different sizing brands bestow? There’s an app for that!
Danielle Steele is remarkably down to earth, and offers invaluable advice to every writer who struggles with discipline and persistence *adore*. We could all learn a thing or two about priorities from this record breaking best-selling author.
Return of the pointy-toed stiletto? Why yes, in gold with black stars of course!
She makes me want to dye my hair awesome shades, let my roots grow in, then plan a photoshoot!
Close ups on beautiful coloured textures always do me in!
I’ve gotta admit… the Belle Sauvage website creeped me out with it’s music, but the designs and prints are fascinating enough to warrant a backbone chill.
Going to be re-working my apartment and it’s decor in the next few weeks… this picture post reminds me that every little thing can add so much character to your living space.
