Stunning, right? This, ladies & gentlemen, is the flatworm! This particular type is known as the Pseudobiceros Hancockanus (great name, eh?) =D

They come in all types of wonderful patterns & colours (just as diverse as the human race- if not moreso!), but I wanted to focus on this one first- don't the colours remind you of a rich, tropical sunset?

They've also been given the nickname of 'Spanish dancers'

-watch the video below to find out why ;D

Is it just me, or are they kinda cute? =3

Collage Corner: Look, Ma- no black! =D

If I presented you with these two very busy & printed items of clothing, how would you create an outfit with them?

Would your first instincts be to  pair them with an all black look to 'tone down' the business? Or to be a little daring & only add a 'pop' of colour using jewellery, or another accessory?

Well, I'm here to show you that you can wear these clothes without black & still not look like you've just stumbled out of nursery (or 'kindergarten' for the Americans out there)- all you need is a little colour imagination! =D

(For more non-black outfit ideas, check out my OPERATION: Ban Black!)

You can try many colours with these items! How about: 

• Reds like burgundy, coral, baby pink- or fire engine red, if you're feeling brave!
• Yellows like mustard yellow- or neon yellow, for the daring!
• Oranges like burnt orange or rust- unfortunately bright orange won't work here!
• Greens like moss green, khaki, olive- or you can even try kelly green!
• Blues like royal blue, navy, turquoise, mint, robin's egg (sky blue)
• Purples like periwinkle & lavender- no bright purples here either, unfortunately! 

If you're not feeling quite that bold just yet then don't worry, you can also use non-black neutrals like tan, beige, cognac- or even grey =]

That's all for now!

Collage Corner: Half up-do

Ok, what would you call this hairstyle?

Because I call it a 'half up-do', but nobody seems to know what I'm going on about! =\

(I think the term 'up-do' is more American, but whenever I try to explain that this hairstyle is basically just a normal ponytail but with only the top half of your hair, people stare at me blankly =| )

Please tell me I'm not crazy, & that I'm not the only one who had their mum give them this hairstyle when they were younger, lol! =S

That's all for now!
