JACQUELYN JABLONSKI JOINS ELITE LONDON

Elite London are thrilled to announce the signing of one of the most sought after models of the season, Jacquelyn Jablonski! Jacquelyn’s feet barely touched the ground during her New York Show season, walking a grand total of 31 shows in 8 days for designers such as Calvin Klein, Derek Lam, Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger. It’s not only shows that Miss Jablonski is in demand for, previous editorials include V Magazine, Teen Vogue, W Magazine and Muse as well as campaigns for Sportmax, D&G, Stefanel, Celine and Gap...phew! 

We can’t wait for Jacquelyn to meet us in London but in the mean time we’ll have to make do with staring at this edgy cover for the latest issue of Deutsch Magazine shot by David Roemer...gorgeous!

A dark eyeshadow, a dark base

I was in the mood for some dramatic eye make-up the other day. I decided on MAC's Prussian, a colour described as a "deep sea blue" on their website.

I also pulled out MAC's paint pot (a cream shadow) in Blackground (black).

And out of curiosity, I swatched Prussian on my arm, with and without the dark base.

What a huge difference. Of course, it depends on the look you're going for but the real colour and depth of Prussian only comes out when applied over a dark base (which doesn't have to be black, by the way).

If you have eyeshadows that you're not happy with - maybe the colour or pigmentation is not quite what you'd imagined - experiment. If I hadn't known about using this black cream shadow, I might have tossed out Prussian...

iPhone app for kids: Feed me!

This free educational app features a cute little monster that makes the funniest noises!

It asks you a question and you have to choose an answer (and feed it to the monster).

If you get it right, you hear a monster-equivalent of yippee. If you get it wrong, it sticks its tongue out and says something like yuck. It's tempting to get some answers wrong, just to hear that!

The funniest bit is 'tickling' the monster by touching parts of its body. It makes hilarious noises and makes us laugh!

Admittedly, the content ranges from colours to fractions, and it's not possible to choose a level yet so it's not always suited to a younger player's abilities. But it comes in different languages and it's entertaining.

It's worth it, just to hear my son giggle!

March/April Guest Designers

We are so happy to announce that we have TWO wonderful Guest Designers joining us for March and April!! Please welcome our new guests and visit them on their blogs...

Christa Knegt

My name is Christa and I am 48 years!
A couple of years ago I met some ‘Crazy Girls’ (a club of crafters on the internet) and I fell in love with stamping.
Since that time I am really addicted to this hobby and I also became a great collector of stamps, design papers, ribbons, flowers … I can’t resist all those beautiful things.
I am happily married with Kees and every day I try to find some time for stamping.
I hope that my cards will make you happy and smile!!

Bree Tetz
My name is Bree and I'm a SAHM of 3 kids. I'll be celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary this year on Canada Day (July 1st) I wanted to make sure there would always be fireworks. I've been paper-crafting for 4 years, and have recently found my newest addiction ~ CARDS! I love creating miniature pieces of artwork that I can share with my friends and loved ones. Is there anything better? When I'm not "Mom's Taxi", you can be sure to find me sitting at my desk, scissors in hands, creating . I am so honoured to be a Guest Designer for Wags and Whiskers. I am in love with the images, and can't stop creating with them.
