Blogs I've Found.. So Far


Over the past few weeks I have come across some pretty interesting blogs. I found them on blogger.com on the Dashboard page by looking at the Blogs of Note for each month. I have listed below a few of my favourites.


Paris 2e


“I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights). But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currently studying art history...”
I could easily spend hours on his blog looking at all the amazing pics of Paris. It makes we want to pack my bags and buy a ticket for the next flight there!! It’s really interesting seeing Paris from a less touristy perspective. He has just been to New York and so his most recent blogs have been pics of sites around there.

Here’s a few pics from his blog:










Swish and Swanky



“My name is Amanda and I love all things beautiful. Swish and Swanky is a collection of fabulous finds, design inspiration and lifes loves”

It reminds me of those homeware stores, though you have never have any intention of buying anything, you always go in and look around at all the beautiful things. It’s a collation of things Amanda has found in stores and magazines of.... This blog would be of great help if you needed decorating ideas for your house.

Skull-A-Day


“My name is Noah Scalin and I made a Skull-A-Day for a year. I started by making an orang paper skull
on June 4th, 2007 and posting it online saying, "I'm making a skull a day for a year". I made my 365th skull on June 2nd, 2008 (and even posted a bonus skull the day after since it was a leap year!). June 3rd, 2008 marked the start of year two of the project (called Skull-A-Day 2.0) and featured daily submissions from readers.”

Well I’ve only had a look at some of the skulls he made – all 365 would be a little too time-consuming. From what I saw though, they were all very cleverly done. It is such an interesting concept.

Post-It Project


“this blog was originally dedicated to documenting the post-its i doodled while at work. however, this blog has grown beyond it's original intent to encompass the post-its drawn by me and any post-it compatriots who deem to grace it's halls with their own artful pictographs.”

Again I didn’t actually look at all the post-its, but from what I saw they were very interesting. Like the skull blog, a really fascinating concept... wow so many imaginative and creative people out there!!

I couldn’t actually find anywhere an About Me section, but the blog is a eclectic mix of different photographs. It seems as though they are from all different photographers that she has found. I saw many, MANY, amazing photographs on here.
