louis boudreault

Louis Boudreault is a Montreal mixed media artist. He specializes in painting famous figures when they were children. Above is Einstein, Marilyn Monroe and Picasso. I really am in awe of his work. My boyfriend knew this and gave me a signed copy of his book for Christmas. He works in the same building as the artist. What an inspirational way of using your talent!

the ones we love

"The Ones We Love is a project highlighting young and talented photographers from around the world. Each artist contributed six photographs of the person(s) who is most important to them, taken outdoors in a natural setting. The goal of the website is to portray the people who are loved, cherished, and inspirational to these artists, and also showcase the differences and similarities in the photographs each of them took within the same guidelines."

stoned jewels by ysl

I love, love, love these rings by Yves Saint Laurent! I'm a huge ring person and when I discovered these were pretty reasonably priced at $195.00, I loved them even more!

movie and popcorn night

From time to time, on a special day, such as Valentine's Day, the most enjoyable thing to do is to stay in and watch a movie, and eat popcorn with the one(s) you love...

cupcake wrap

Considering budgets are a little weak right now, why not make your "significant other" a batch of your favourite delicious cupcakes via here. And buy some really cute cupcake wraps while you're at it!

more matte

Okay...so I am extremely tired of seeing balloons circle around blogs on the internet, however, I do think these sculptures are unfamiliar. A little more compelling.

matte

Well...this is kind of an interesting, new, different take on the original nail polish. Matte nails are the new rage apparently. I like it! Specifically the pink. It would be a nice change.
