Yesterday, I went along with my friend to get a makeover done at Mac Cosmetics. It made me realise the way we put on make-up can be a form of art. I love looking at all the different colours available. My friend was a model for the day!

Pick Me Up Exhibition!
So, last weekend I went to the Pick Me Up Exhibition at Somerset House near Embankment.
Of course, I had to bring my camera to this amazing exhibition. Excited as I was, I got my camera out of my bag, click... What happens next? I realise I had left the battery at home. FAIL. Major FAIL. (So I had to carry around an SLR camera with no battery) RANT OVER.
Good thing I was with my friend Lisa (By the way you guys should check out her blog... it's AMAZING! http://lisaedoff.blogspot.com/) Lisa encouraged me to start my own 'design' blog) She took lots of photographs at the exhibition and kindly sent me some for this blog. The work is really inspiring with fresh new ideas. Here you go! Enjoy.
It is definitely worth checking out! (it's on until the 27th March) Here is a little preview of the amazing work.

Inspiring Design hanging on my wall
ABECEDA: A JAZZ-AGE ALPHABET FROM PRAGUE, 1926
This poster is now hanging up on my wall, I find it inspiring from the concept to the actual design. It measures at 760 mm x 560 mm.
'Karel Teige (1900-1951) was the brightest star in the brilliant constellation of Czech avant-garde artist-writers of the 1920s and 30's. A constructivist and a surrealist, a poet, collagist, photographer, typographer and architectural theorist, his 1926 photomontage designs for the alphabet are a uniquely elegant and witty invention, and one of the enduring masterpieces of Czech modernism. They enact the letter-titles of the twenty-five experimental poem sequence, ABECEDA, by his friend Vítězslav Nezval, and feature the third collaborator on the project, the dancer Milca Mayerova. It was Mayerova's idea to choreograph the poems, creating a pose for each letter, and then to publish it as a book of twenty-five images with Teige's title designs.'
