Addictions 
My life is pretty uneventful at the moment (but is going to perk up soon) and the only thing left for me to do is take comfort in other people's creativity. Here are some of the sites that bring me the most pleasure.
Take one camera and hundreds of cool Helsinkians and you have the recipe for a totally addictive site. Hel looks is a site which documents the imaginative, individual and sometimes downright strange styles and fashion on the streets of the Finnish capital. If you love the idea of FRUiTS, then you'll love this site too and probably start getting a bit angry when they don't update the site often enough. If you're lucky, they also add links to Finnish fashion/design related pages. Of course all the best ideas around are bound to be copied. A number of inferior ripoffs of hel looks also exist. I think one of the best clones is manchesterlooks, which also seems to have received quite a lot of critical acclaim.
About a week ago I found out (via my boyfriend) about a simple yet brilliant site called colourlovers. All you have to do is combine 5 colours to create a colour palatte. Other users will review and rate your colour combination and let you know whether you have taste or not. Here is my first attempt:
You feel like you're actually creating something amazing, yet it is one of the most basic things in the world.
I also came across a lovely cupcake baking site, which made me want to get in the kitchen straight away. The only problem was that we had no bun cases and my plan was foiled. The woman who creates the recipes is a true genius. I mean look at these chocolate truffle cupcakes :)
