georgia may jagger is purty







...she really is!! How does Mick's genes translate time and time again?! I mean, he sure has timeless moves (like Jagger...hee), but I guess his genes are Jaggery too...and I mean, his wives are usually pretty beautiful in all fairness. But anyway, lately I've been seeing his one daughter Georgia in magazines a lot, and her look inspires me. Not picture perfect at all - her teeth are spaced, hair messy (but pretty awesome messy), very natural, almost rough looking - and yet somehow she comes across as totally glamourous and rock star stunning! I wonder if she can move like Jagger since she is a Jagger? That would be an interesting study...{pics from Vanity Fair}

Wroclaw {Buzzfeed}.

This morning as the MSN homepage came up, I was inspired by the world's most colourful places. Wow, I am a Bloomer and I didn't ever think of this! Wouldn't that be so cool, to seek out the world's most colourful places and actually go to there (like Tina Fey would say)? And then you could make like a really funky album or scrap book of all the colourful places you've been to! And maybe even include fun swatches of colourful fabric in that book too? Hee, ok I'm getting carried away maybe, but I really do think this is awesome!
