I love it when we highlight a designer during Fashion Week for the first time when they’ve got an awesome collection!

Ice Cream Snow in London
photo cred | Design Taxi
Londoners were recently greeted to a special treat by an avant-garde baker that goes by the name of “Miss Cakehead.” Previously creating an edible hotel made out of cake, Miss Cakehead brings her latest innovation to the table with ice cream snow. These snow showers came down on Thorpe Park and tasted of vanilla and strawberry. Most people would be thrilled – I would be too – but I would also be concerned about how sticky and messy I would feel afterwards. Can you tell that I wasn’t one to play in the mud as a kid?

Optical Illusion House Makes A Home in London
all photo cred | Colossal
A new optical illusion installation can be found in London! Designed by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich, visitors have been able to play around with the new attraction and making it look like they can defy gravity by walking up a house. The photographs are made possible through a giant mirror reflecting off of a print of a Victorian house.
The installation opened yesterday and is free to all visitors until August 4th. For more photos, click here.

Blogging as a profession has always been something that I’ve been curious about. For one thing, it’s a career path that is very new. Kids in elementary schools aren’t telling their friends that they want to grow up to be a blogger. There aren’t very many classes in college if any that are revolving around social media. It’s kind of a DIY career and I think that’s why I find it so fascinating. There’s no right or wrong way to blog, but obviously a good blog has certain characteristics and successful bloggers are clearly doing something right. I enjoyed watching this short profile on Andy Torres and thought I would share it with all of you!

Empty Olympics
photo cred | Janie Airey
Earlier this summer, Flavorwire made a post showcasing some eerie photos of completely deserted Olympic arenas. It’s strange to think how so much hype and money can be thrown at one event for a short period of time. After it ends, it’s almost like it was never there or at least it is forgotten about for some time. It’s been a few months since the summer Olympic games ended in London and what’s left of it remains here in the evidence of these beautiful photographs. Check out the entire series by Janie Airey here.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
The Fierce Five are kind of my favorite
More pictures of them in London here.
And here’s a video of McKayla Maroney teaching Jenna Bush how to ‘dougie’

How amazing do the Spice Girls look?! It’s weird to still call them girls when they are grown women, but I am more than thrilled that their style has reached milestones over time. They’ve really come a long way, haven’t they?
Rumor has it that the lovely ladies are also performing at the Olympics Closing Ceremony!
YESSSS
Metal Count
I can’t be the only one here watching the Olympics every chance I get. Who can keep up with all of the events? Thank goodness for Medal Count.
