What do grown men look like when they cry? Photographer Sam Taylor-Wood photographed some of Hollywood's leading film actors who shed some tears. Click the link to see more photos of famous men.

"Some of the men cried before I even finished loading the camera, but others found it really difficult, said Taylor-Wood. "People can decide for themselves which they think are the authentic tears and which they think are fake. It's about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side."

My best friend sent me the link to this terrific promo for the New Zealand Book Council. As a book lover, it's no surprise that I love this but throw in the bold and creative paper cuts and I'm a goner.

Just downloaded this today, love it!

A quick break from work to show you this beautiful find: a table made from sycamores with a lightbulb. I love the combination of textures and the oversize bulb. Simply gorgeous!

I encourage you to click through to view more work of the Egg Collective. They have a lot of other projects that make me giddy.

If October was a month of sickness, then November is the month of overtime. I am sitting here at my desk attempting to write, in the dark*, listening to the above by Chopin.

This is one of my favourite classical pieces and something that I like to listen to when I'm in the bath or just want to feel relaxed.

*All the lights are off, save for one lamp that's not automatically turned off by the motion detectors.

I know you're going to think I'm obsessed because I already posted something similar not that long ago, but I can't help myself! In my defense, these are different from the other post.

And! And....come here....closer...so the beautiful herringbone spats don't hear me...

I think the leather accents and buttons (oh my those buttons) are absolutely to die for.

Call me sappy, but this sure rings true.

Lego kitchen island = Brilliant!

When it's pouring rain and bitterly cold, I look at pictures like this and fall back in love with autumn.

I would never think of this colour scheme for my home, but it's fantastic!
