Belated Music Monday

I <3 The Colour Field

I just fell in love the The Colour Field Painting movement. However I've always been a sucker for abstract pieces and anything mid-centry! Love these two pieces below... on a side note me thinks the painting that caused such a stir in Mad Men might be a Colour Field...

Beginning By Kenneth Noland


Clyfford Still

Au Vior

The last issue of Mandkind Mag is out. Here's hoping it comes back soon! Thanks to Erin and all those involved for 2 years of great reads! Cheers to you!

I <3 Giveaways

Head on over to The Tiny Figs Facebook Page to enter!

A Little Bit Country

Pure talent! And a very belated Monday Music.

After Midnight - Patsy Cline

Love @ Frist Fit.

Yoga Jeans. Different styles. Fabulous fit. Canadian. And worth the cash. I bought myself two pairs. One skinny and one straight leg. Love them! You can get your own pair in Toronto @ Shop Girls!

Squarefoot 2009

Go see Squarefoot 2009.

Music Monday August 24 2009

It's just another Music Monday! This ones an 80's flash back from Blondie, The Tide Is High. Debbie Harry was 36 when she did this video and she's smoking hot, seeing a video like this makes me feel so much better about being 30. Age ain't nothing but number and Debbie proves it!
