a magical find that makes my girly heart happy

my favorite thing happened this weekend. 

i went link hopping through blogs and of course, made an awesome discovery. the site i found? an amazing artist called Jirka Vaatainen who has illustrated our favorite Disney princess characters into phenomenal life-like women. i had to share my favorite princess, Aurora but i'm also MEGA in love with his version of Alice and Esmeralda.

aren't they simply stunning? that Esmeralda one gives me shivers it's so real. i encourage you to check out his behance page found here for your favorite characters as well as his other work.

what's your favorite thing you have ever found by link hopping?
