RECENT PINTEREST AND POCKET FAVES.

Good things are happening for fans of 90s women of rock. If you aren't up to date, this article from SALON should be enough to catch you up. Then jump over to EW for the premiere of the music video for Veruca Salt's LAUGHING IN THE SUGAR BOWL.

Thanks to a friend for linking me to this Buzzfeed article (I know, I know) of the 26 IDEAS FOR THROWING THE BOOZY TEA PARTY OF YOUR DREAMS. That gin and tonic tea set will be mine!

If you've been working on Sophie's Universe like I have and are interested in hearing more from designer Dedris Uys, she just did an interview with KEEP CALM AND CROCHET ON UK all about her design process, inspiration and future plans.

Don't already read Clarissa Explains F*** All? What are you doing with your time!? The girls offer some great feminist commentary on pop culture, including this article on 7 THINGS I LEARNT FROM WATCHING THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF PITCH PERFECT. #5 hit pretty close to home.

Right, time for some of my recent Pins!

This very relatable comic by MOOSEKLEENEX. Kelly is one of my favourite artists and her work ranges from fascinatingly out there to heartwarming. Link to PIN and link to ORIGINAL WORK. NSFW warning just in case you do plan on scrolling through her tumblr!

Coming up with cute (and seasonal!) combinations for my nails is the one place my creativity fails me. Here's a collection of 26 ideas for pastel nails - most of which are pretty simple if you know your way around dotting tools and striping tape. Link to PIN and link to POST.

FREE PATTERN ALERT! These are so cute, functional and perfect for those little pieces of scrap yarn we all wind up keeping in our stash but never actually use. Plus if you're like me, you can't possibly kill them! Link to PIN and link to PATTERN on Ravelry.

Hate cleaning your makeup brushes? Who doesn't! (Actually my little sister finds it oddly enjoyable...) Fortunately for all of us THE BEAUTY DEPARTMENT have come up with this collection of alternatives that make the job that much simpler. Link to PIN and link to ARTICLE.

If you're in the southern hemisphere like I am, it's that time of year where all you want is comfort food. I stumbled across this delicious looking recipe for squash lasagne on AMUSE YOUR BOUCHE while looking for slow cooker recipes. I can't wait to try it out! Link to PIN and link to RECIPE.

One day, hopefully before the arthritis sets in, I will learn how to embroider. Until then we have Etsy stores like BREEZEBOTPUNCH to create these beautiful pieces for us. Link to PIN and link to STORE.

Want to jazz up your home with those family memories but aren't sure where to start? Here are 35 DIY Wall Collages AND a how-to guide including some basic layout/frame sizing. You really can't go wrong with this easy weekend project. Link to PIN and link to GUIDE.

I love THE CLOTHES HORSE and her quirky, feminine style. From time to time, she showcases other fashionistas that she loves, including KATARZYNA who has given me some great inspiration for winter without hiding in black and grey. Link to PIN and link to POST.

Another cute and simple scrap yarn project - why have boring basic cords that tangle easily when you can style them up a bit with some colourful yarn?! In fact, I think I'm going to do just that to my headphones. Link to PIN and link to GUIDE.
