I have an obsession with Amber. I love all shades of it and pretty much anything made of Amber ends up on my WANT list. The necklace I wear permanently is from my Mother and is a gorgeous piece of Amber. I consider amber to be signature stone these days and am currently on the hunt to add more pieces to add to my collection. 

I love the idea of tiny pieces of History embedded within the stone that I can carry around with me. The colour is also always gorgeous and plays into my love of all shades of orange, peach and warm golden tones. 

Do you have a signature stone? Colour? What are you lusting after this week?

Love and Obsessions,

Miss Addict.

So Its been awhile since I posted. Broken that news years resolution to itty bitty bits :( But I am getting back onto the posting wagon with a brand new Link Love for you all. Featuring Giraffe Pancakes, Laptops as Seismic Sensors and Plenty of other goodness for your clicking pleasure! 

Giraffe Pancakes via Boing Boing 

Super Easy and Cute! I do not have any children of my own nor do I live with any but I would be making these for me! Not sure I could bring myself to eat them... Who am I kidding course I could! For more cute pancakes check out the ThePancakeProject Blog

“Totally Like Whatever, You Know” Poem by Taylor Mali Typography Video by Ronnie Bruce. 

I discovered this wonderful typography video done to the words of a brilliant poem by Taylor Mali. I was rewatching this on the weekend and was planning on including it in Link Love and this just cinched it! I love Mr Mali and the typography just beautifully illustrates it! I hate when people say “Totally” “Like” “Whatever” and “You Know” in conversation! Drives me batty! Also  watch What Teachers Make (My Mum is a Teachers and when she watched this she practically leapt off the couch dancing) and “I will fight you for the library” Always guaranteed to have me in stiches! 

Wall-E Computer! Via Epic Win: 

My sister linked me this via msn (from the lounge room) just so she could hear me go “awwwww” so clickie for the adorableness that is Wall-e! 

1000 Awesome Things Blog 

So many things on this list are indeed awesome! While not everything on the list may be my idea of awesome it might be yours! My Personal Favorites are #654 Peeling that thin plastic film off new electronics, #834 Building an amazing couch cushion fort, #935 Eating cookies like Cookie Monster,

or #548 The moment in the shower where you decide to make it a really long shower.

Uses of “click here if your browser doesn’t automatically redirect you” via Graph Jam

I love Graph Jam. When I was trapped in a cubicle it was one of the things I looked forward to reading on my lunch break everyday! This graph is also very very true!

The Colourful World of Designer Vinyl Customs via Colour Lovers

Munnies (Vinyl Customizable Dolls) I love the way that people customize and bring their own personal style this medium particularly the shapes and vibrant colours. I have been coming across these fellas for quite some time and this post at colour has some plastic goodness! 

When to Protect your contacts via IFB 

This is not something that is an issue for me being a tiny blogger, not really a fashion blogger and not even getting soliciting emails! but I can imagine bigger bloggers who are more fashion focused than I get it a lot! an interesting read and a good take on how companies like to use bloggers to gain access to a network of contacts that didn’t used to exist! 

What about you? What Links are you loving this week? Whats making you awwww or laughing? Link Me in the Comments and I might just add it in Link Love #10!

Breaking into Belting via Already Pretty

Already Pretty is a constant of awesome. Sal is not only a brilliantly stylish lady but writes really brilliant pieces on body image, self esteem and how fashion interacts with our daily lives. Also she is a big geek and thus has my undying love forever more! I love her particularly helpful piece on belting which I am going to be having a go at ASAP cause I am still stumbling around in the dark there!

Sociological Images

Sociological Images is one of my favourite blogs. Im a serious Sociological geek and am in fact looking in going to Uni to study it later this year. This blog points out so many of the things that I miss in daily life and makes me giggle at advertising on a constant basis because its utterly crazy maddening. Eye opening and Geeky in a whole new way!

Tales In Tokyo Part 2 - Disney Land! via Lick My Cupcakes

Lick My Cupcakes: Regular feature here Em from lick my cupcakes went to Disney Land Tokyo! OMG! Its amazing! I stared at those pictures for ages and ages! Gorgeous and utterly child tantrum inducing. I WANNA GO NOW!

How to Beat the Work or Study Blues via Tres Lola

Tres Lola is a great blogger I have been following for awhile. This piece is one I am definetely going to be referring to cause I have the work blues! Go read then come back Il wait!

How many oranges does it take to charge an iphone?

595 Apparently or 2380 Slices... Crazy! Interesting video of someone with way to much time of their hand who spent that time figuring it out!

Using Twitter Spam Followers for Your Convenience via Victa Mildew.

A Really cool idea via a new blogger I found through twitter. Check out the other posts on this blog as they are all really interesting! Victa has a really nifty view of social media and the internet :) Rather enjoying following him on twitter too I must say :)

• The Mario Kart Love Song: - Link Courtesy of Chevell

I love this song. It honestly makes me tear up listening to it. I love Mario Kart and the fact that someone managed to make such a sweet song about it is just so fantastically geeky how could I not include it in link love?

• Princess Bride Guide to Copy Writing: - Link Courtesy of SuperFlyse

I have found this very relevant to blogging as well as very funny! And honestly who doesn't love The Princess Bride! Very good article for aspiring bloggers and those of us who are already here. '

• Have a Rant Thursday Via Smaggle Style

Really great honest and slightly brutal rant by the lovely Smaggle about jealously. Some great points! Not geeky but well said!

• Post Secret:

Post secret has been linked in the sidebar since the blog started but I haven't ever linked to it. I love reading other peoples secrets and always want to submit one of my own. A wonderful project.

• Dropped Food - Should You Eat it? Flow Chart Via Flowing Data

Very Funny chart that doesn't really answer the question of whether you should eat that lolliepop you just dropped on the floor...

• Clever Billboard Ads Via the Weburbanist

Some really awesome billboards. Mainly american but shows what lengths advertising companies will go to get our attention!

• Snow Whites Revenge Macbook Decal Via lildecalshoppe on Esty

I am hoping to get my macbook this week or next and this decal is on the top of my possible decal list (if I don't go puritanical and keep it clean and perfect) Love the detail

• 100 Quotes Every Geek Should Know - Via Wired.com

Sad to say I know the vast majority of these.. and those I didn't I am going to have to and watch the movie it came from so I did!

1. Storm Animation
Storm is a 9 minute beat poem by Australian comedian Tim Minichin. It is one of my favourite pieces of comedy in the entire world! The first time I ever heard it I literally laughed hysterically throughout the entire thing! It is being turned into an animation. You can view the trailer [Here] and you can listen the entire poem [Here] The production blog for the Animation team can be found [Here] which has some fun stuff from behind the scenes and some sneak peeks of the characters :)

2. My Life Is Average
MLIA is possibly my favourite website currently. Filled with amusing stories of peoples every day lives it never fails to make me giggle. For fellow iPhone uses they have an App which means you can get Average stories while out and about! I tend use it as a pick me up on days when I feel like I'm going to tear my hair out!

3.Autocompleteme.com
A website show casing some of googles odder assumptions using the Auto complete function. Such gems include "Penguins Are: My favourite type of frogs" and "My grandma: seduced me" ... not sure how google comes up with this but the results are pretty funny!

4. 10 Words you need to stop misspelling from The Oatmeal
I could of just linked the entirety of the Oatmeal site but picked this one at random :) Love his cartooning style. This site is a major time suck! Don't say I did not warn you!

5.How Websites Work
This is a lovely illustration done by John Martz for his friend Neil Lee who works at Mozilla. I am sure this is how many people imagine websites working!

6.320by480
Lovely illustrations by Mohammad F. Haque (aka Hawk) the co creator of applegeeks. He is kindly offering them as 320by 480 iPhone backgrounds. I had trouble picking one to use!

What about you lovelys. What are you loving this week? Let me know in the comments!

Link Love #5

Dandy by Miss Addict

Happy Monday Lovely People! Is once again time for Link Love! So here are the things I have been loving the last 2 weeks.

• Let Me Google That For You!

Ever get people asking you stupid questions that they could just Google? Use this wonderful site!

• Virginia the Blind Dog

Great post on Boing Boing by Jason Torchinsky about his dog Virginia learning how to cope with being blind. Funny and Inspiring!

• Kiva: Loans that Change Lives

Kiva is an awesome concept. It is the world's first person-to-person micro loan website, individuals lend directly to entrepreneurs around the planet! So Awesome!

• Make Up Tutorials on Youtube

Specifically the Pixiewoo Channel. I love the english accents and they have a billion tips and tricks. Found them while looking for a tutorial on Dita Von Teese style makeup!

• Sunday Sweets on Cake Wrecks.

While I Love me a Cake Wreck Sunday Sweets is my favourite post of the week hands down. This week it was Cakes Based on Threadless Shirts. Not sure if I want the cakes or the shirts more! SO gorgoeus!

• Twitter Home Page:

Twitter has a new home page with the emphasis on searching for content. Very slick but since I twitter mainly through TweetDeck probably not going to effect me much. Strangely no outrage as always happens when Facebook changes something

• Graph Jam

Graph Jam is an offshoot of Fail Blog and LOL cats and is nearly always funny! I specifically love this one

• Lick My Cupcakes

I linked to Em last time for her "Think inside the box" secrets post. Her blog is a really positive source for me. Em is gorgeous and so brave in my opinion! The girl cuts her own hair! So check her out peoples!

So My RSS reader got a little out of hand this week because I wasn't home last weekend to clean it out and then I was sick (All

Better Now don't Stress) So I have had to be very selective in what sharing because there is just SO much I could share.

To Begin:

• Gala Darling has a new Project called "Letters to the Universe" Really cute! Because who doesn't love Gala!

• I'm totally in love with cute overload (No surprise there) but this one made me "awwwww" out loud!

• A really interesting experiment taking place within the sims.

• Emma over at Lick my Cupcakes has a great project going. Like post secret but more immediate. Great Read

• Doe Deere is one of my favourite people on the Internet. This post about her Unicorn Outfit is amazingly inspiring.

• Evolution Graffiti So awesome! Must of taken a lot of work!

• Wataru Itou is an art student in Tokyo. His art work is hand made and took four years of hard work to construct. It has electrical lights, Ferris Wheel, and a moving train, all made of paper! The photos are utterly stunning and beautiful!
  

• Sydney Design Festival is on from the 1st of August and I shall be having a look around that lemme tell you. Details here: [Link]

• This and This very NSFW image from ModFetish. If you don't like Naked girls don't click!

So What are you drooling over this week Ladies and Gents? Link me your loves!
