Paris vs. NYC

This is such an adorable blog – a great addition to any GReader! Exploring the differences between these two fabulous cities. I just love the illustrations...

Packing, Dancing, Dreading...

So, in between bouts of madly packing I'm keeping up with my G Reader and I just HAD to share this -- Zac and Coco dancing together is just heaven!

Tomorrow afternoon I return to the frozen and beautiful city of Edinburgh to begin my final year of my English Literature degree1. That back-to-school feeling never goes away, despite this being my 18th year in the education system (madness!) that familiar mixture of apprehension, excitement and horror at the onslaught of work, essays, and, now, dissertations! Since my two flat-mates and I are also moving into a new place, we won't have any internet for a couple of weeks (HOW will I cope??) but I will endeavor to find a cafe with reliable (and free!) wifi in the next few days. In the mean time, enjoy what's left of the summer - autumn is in the air already!

Good Toe, Naughty Toe...

There are few things in the world more beautiful and graceful than ballerinas. I still want to be a ballet dancer when I grow up, despite the fact that I gave up lessons when I was 5 years old... The photographs from The Ballerina Project mixes the elegance and poise of ballerinas with the harsh and dramatic landscape of New York City - I love the contradiction, it makes for beautifully striking images.
