Hump Day Distractions

This is terrible. Also, outstanding.

Well, we had a few glorious teaser days of spring weather for a hot second, but now temps have dipped again and the skies are gloomy. I'm not complaining though. I promise I won't complain as long as the puffer jacket doesn't have to come back out! Here to get us over the hump (and hopefully on to sunnier skies and warmer days) are some goodies from around the web. Enjoy!

* NYC current vibe.

* A flirty hairdo perfect for spring (and easy enough to try at home!)

* How those always chic Frenchies decide between flats and high heels.

* Dreaming non-passover, pasta-filled, dreams. Mmmm...

* Amy Winehouse, a musical goddess gone far too soon. Apparently there's going to be a documentary about it. 

* I'm thinking I need a spiralizer and this one is the Amazon BestSeller. Any other suggestions!?

* Oh hello Mara Hoffman! I'll take one of everything please :)

* These will never stop being awesome (I want one so bad!)

My new App-session!

I pretty much never pay for Apps for my iPhone, but when I spotted THIS post on Justina Blakeney's blog (loooove Justina's eye for design, her blog and Instagram feed are two personal favorites!) I knew my no-pay principle was about to go out the window! Introducing, Waterlogue, an app which transforms your photos into beautiful water color "paintings" with just a tap of your screen!!

 

Once you open the Waterlogue App you can select from any of the images you have saved to your telephone and then you actually get to watch the app "paint" starting with a sketch, "wetting brushes" and finally filling in colors. There are also about a dozen different types of painting styles to choose from.

Though I'm not going to pretend that this app makes me a master painter (just like Instagram hasn't turned me into a professional photographer!) it is a lot of fun to "paint" your photos and I can definitely see myself printing a few and figuring out a cool way to display them in my home. Plus, it's really cool to watch the app convert your images and interesting to see which photos work well as "paintings". The verdict: $2.99 very well spent! To purchase Waterlogue, click HERE.
