René Magritte

I came across this article on the guardian website and I'm only half way through reading the comments of other arts appreciators. I hadn't heard of this artist before now but reading the comments made about him and his art was just incredible and like reading a book before seeing the film, I began to imagine his paintings and his mind's workings before actually seeing them. I've included some of the pictures that have been mentioned in the article.

Fabulous Fringing

A key trend this summer has been fringing. It is a great way to add something a bit different to a standard outfit. Unfortunately I haven't adopted this look yet as I'm still on the search for a good statement fringe piece.

Here are some I've got my eye on:
