The Chronic Face.

This was one of those things you run across that both instantly makes your day and causes you to laugh so hard you not only snort but continue to laugh so long it deteriorates into that wheezy, shaking, silent laugh where tears are streaming down your face and you start to believe you’ll honestly never stop laughing again. First off, I LOVE that feeling, don’t you?

And secondly, “chronic bitchface”? I so have that. And mine looks exactly like the chick on the right, down to the bun and glasses, although my bun is brunette. Krisatomic is my hero for making this, I am definitely buying myself a Chronic Bitchface print to frame! If you don’t have need of this print, check out the rest of her work, one is truly better than the next, I wish I could have every single one.

 

 

By the way, note to strangers: if you encounter someone with the bitchface and you want them to smile, say nothing and simply smile at them. 99% of the time they will smile back and feel good, your mission therefore accomplished. Because telling sufferers to “smile” or “cheer up” will just cause their mood to start matching the face. Seriously.

This Folkloric trend is not fixed to any definite tradition or legacy, but uses conventional craft and hand drawn imagery throughout all countries.

There’s a mix of African, Russian, Scandinavian and Indian influences across fabrics, metal work and ceramics.

This takes in well crafted pieces of furniture, while accumulating embroidered or patterned fabrics for low key warmth. Tables should be fully clad in hot summer colours – oranges, reds and pinks.

Trend Number 2. So Fresh Drift

Spring comes in the abode with flowers, fabrics and home wares. They are established in this style in an expansive variety of yellows and soft greens of khaki, moss and olive shades. Next to white polish pieces and white ceramics, these looks convey vividness and clarity to the home. Also they are nicely complemented with wicker garden furnishings and natural timber furniture.

These next three are all rivers to the same ocean.

Trend Number 3. 50′s Interior Trend

Granny Chic takes an unmarked path this spring with modern-day graphics, update on florals, crochet, fine china and all things characteristically British and homespun.

The main idea is of flowers on tableware, cushions in teal, maroon and subdued gold and a real mix of wistful flowery wallpapers.
