The Daily Swarm

Tired of all the big news websites that offer too much of the same thing, I started to look for the real news online. Real news, meaning what is really NEW around our small globe? The interesting stuff, the real thing.

I ended up spending way too much time in front of the screen, once I entered The Daily Swarm, a music-related news website, that gives a broad meaning to the word music. Well written, interesting topics, it was enough for me to forget about the world and focus on the news...this is more of a site than a real blog, but have it anyway.

Obsessed with Shoes

Andy Warhol was the first, and he was very good at it. The trick with shoes obsession is, you gotta love them all. You see a shoe, and your mind goes wild. You see it, for what it is, and for what it can be. It's like loving your husband, and loving his pluses and minuses together. It's like a perfection in the inperfection. It's zen.

Enough said. Go get obsessed on this wonderful blog.

Weirdo Toys

The Weirdo Toys blog has a collection of toys most of us would never get for ourselves. They're weird, that's true, but mostly they are simply very bad made or just ugly. You look at this collection and you think, somebody must thell China to stop! Oh I know it's not really China who's responsible for this catastrophe, it's the western people who keep asking for more!

Junk is one of the nicest things one can collect. And what's better for an a-class blog?

Vienna for Beginners

Merisi's Vienna for Beginners won some awards for being an a-class blog, and if you're looking for a very different city guide (to Vienna, daa), this is a very nice trwasure blog. It's filled with pictures and short poem-like texts by Merisi, from Vienna and around it, and I can say for certain that the city is nicer in this blog than in reality (and it is indeed nice in reality). Lots of the Viennese Melange cafe, small streets, people, and any other aspect of everydau Vienna comfort life.

Fantastic Toys Blog

Indeed fantastic, some sophisticated-yet-cute self made paper toys, tons of them, on this great blog. Do it yourself (not so easy) or simply buy them for low prices. I simply enjoyed scrolling through the pages and imagine how i would make lovely soft things, once i have the time. Sometimes looking is almost as good.

Toy a Day

As toys bought in chain stores get as expensive just as they get ugly, this blog present us with an alternative. Paper toys are cool, for kids and adults alike, and most of all, they are very cheap. Plus, you get the joy of making. So many good things in one blog, wouldn't you give it a shot?

bored at the office, kid's bored? No problem, go to the toy-a-day blog, print out today's paper toy, fold, glue it together - and you just earned yourself a new toy!

Gemma Booth

She's a photographer and a filmmaker that deals with fashion, beauty, and whatever falls in between (well, not much). On her blog she shows some of the works she's made as well as some works by others.

I think she's from Berlin, but the blog is written in English. But in any case, the words are not the main thing here.
