+ Blog Buzz #1

Every week (or when I can!) I’m going to feature blogs and other internet-finds from the week. By sharing attention-grabbing stuff from other sites I hope I can keep some kind of check on the megabytes of information I read each week, and hopefully try and harness the best to share with others!


Passion Pit – Sleepyhead… This song has hypnotised me for what feels like an eternity, love it!


You probably heard about Penelope Trunk, the woman who micro-blogged about her miscarriage on Twitter. Read Penelope’s reaction to the worldwide criticism she received at the Guardian.


The Independent examine how Cheryl Cole’s marketing company orchestrated an online campaign to help Fight for this Love become the fastest-selling UK single of 2009 so far:

You drill your marketing through the ears listening at that moment in time to the music. They’re sinking the drill into the deep well and sucking up the crude while it’s where it is.”



Say hi to Amber, the creator of some truly unique headbands that are so beautiful it won’t matter what you wear with them!


I can’t stand hipsters who wear fake glasses. For me, someone looks better when they’re wearing real ones in a, you know, unpretentious way. French style blogger Pandora shows the rest of us how it’s done.


Over at List Addicts, the Naked Redhead reveals five things she hated as a kid that she now loves.


You think still life is boring? Think again. Take a look at this gorgeous photography by Guido Mocafico.

The Great Orange Juice Scam- is that ‘healthy’ daily glass of orange juice doing more harm than good?


Publisher’s Weekly didn’t include one female author in its list of the ten best books of 2009. Go to Jezebel to find out more.


Rosie features some great pictures of Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

  4. I have a friend who actually has a pair of those Ray-Bans and wears them as regular glasses with prescription lenses and eveything. I think they’re marvelous!

    PS – I’ve never visited your site before, but the layout is absolutely beautiful. The ‘crinkled paper’ of the comment box is such a wonderful touch.

  6. First off – thank you so much for your comment on my blog! It was wonderful to read it and I’m very happy that you like my blog. Actually I’m over the moon!:)

    This song is so catchy!!! and I like Cheryl’s song – at first I was a bit skeptic but now I like it. It’s positive. This girl in glasses is stunning! I’m thinking to change my look and I’m torn a bit! Dark or blond, with or without a bang… ahh! but I love her look!

    Have a great weekend!

  17. I’m loving Pandora’s glasses too, which I could pull them off! I tried on some similar ones but just ended looking like Deidre from Corrie!

  18. Hi Jeni! Thanks for stopping by my blog…isn’t Pandora just the coolest? I featured a picture of her a couple of weeks ago. I’ve always hated wearing glasses, but she makes me feel better about it! ;)

  19. i love it to pieces when some folks are so judgmental of other people’s fashion choices…especially when they totally don’t get the secret. i’ve worn “fake” glasses for years (10+) because i hate hate hate the way sunglasses make everything darker, and my “fake” glass lenses all have UV protection. so please, by all means, scorn away! i will be over here lurving my healthy, wrinkle-free eyes all day long.

    Comment by amy — November 11, 2009 @ 5:51 pm

  20. Ok so you’re wearing glasses because of the UV protection, and you’ve worn them before they were ever a ‘trend’. I was referring to people who seem to think that wearing fake glasses instantly gives them style and that somehow it makes them different… not so different when every one is wearing them i guess!

    I actually admire the fact that you chose to wear glasses purely to protect your eyes – great idea!

  21. The information here is great. I will invite my friends here.

    Thanks
