For or Against?

The term guyliner has suddenly leapt into the public forum and its a bit contraversial.
A bit like Marmite, you love it or hate it. It seems that it isn't confined to punk stars and the like anymore and its more of a universal ploy. I personally have a bit of a love for the guyliner and well, to be completely honest this post is to look at beautiful men and drool!

 
(L-R)Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) He doesn't do it for me but I know he floats others boats.
Brandon Flowers, always one to add a little drama. (I prefer him with a beard.)
Captain Jack. As much as I don't like his acting I do love a bit of him!

(L-R) Russell Brand. He doesn't do it for me but I hear that from this book it has done it for hundreds. Classy.
Mikey Way (My Chemical Romance)
No longer is he the shy brother of Gerard he is in his own right now. And a bit hot imho.
Now this bad boy (in extra large I know) is Gerard Way.
Phwoaaaaaar. End.

On an ending note and one of the all time forerunners for guyliner...
Dr. Frank 'n' Furter himself!
So what are people's opinions on guyliner? You for or against? xx

P.S, add a chest piece with guyliner and my god I will love you for life. Maybe a chest piece post to come!

A little guess work!


Here's a little hint of what I'm going to be for Halloween!
Did you get it? Okay one last chance!


So as you've probably guessed by now I am going to be a lion tamer! Oh yes! Mightily excited. I am in the process of cobbling together my outfit as we speak. I am completely confused with my days at the moment and today does not feel like Saturday at all! So yes I am living the dream and staying in on a Saturday with some sewing and movies :)! xx

"Whispers in the rain. Listen. Don't push love away, you know you do" - The Juliana Theory

Just a little mini OOTD before I go to bed with some reading I MUST do instead of saying I will do it later and later just never comes.

  Straw bag, found in the attic, yeyyy! Tan Jumper, Florence&Fred. Tweed Jacket, Vintage. Brooch&fur edged gloves, Primark.

Over the weekend my Mum has been on a mission to de-clutter, like it will ever happen, so boxes lay strewn across the floor so when I have had nothing else to I've sat down pouring through these boxes to reveal some utter treasures. Heres some of my favourite photos and a postcard which I just love.

These are photos of my Grandad&Grandma as well as my Mum as a child. They are both my complete heroes and I adore these photos. Blac&White photos definitely have something about them. xx

"And there we all were, as invisible as you could wish to see."

- C. S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the only set of books I have ever completed. It's not that I haven't wanted to with other sets but they don't hold the same allure that the Narnia books do.
The whole purpose of this post is to tell you all how excited I am that the new Narnia film will be out this Christmas! Ahh, too excited!

As I've mentioned before I am an old lady and I find the style of clothes from Narnia to be gorgeous. They are the sort of clothes I would love to wear every day...full of tweeds and florals and lovely, lovely knits! Ohhhh I wish I was back then.

(Button down fairisle knit, Blue Velvet Skirt & Long-Sleeve Tea Dress, all Cath Kidston. White Shirt, New Look. Short-Sleeve Tea Dress, KEW. Fairisle Knit, John Lewis. Fur Coat, Topshop)





There are a few things wrong with it (just the trailer, as I haven't seen the movie) ands that Susan and Peter being there! That's wrong and I hope it's just a flashback!
Whyyyyy hello there Prince Caspian! This is also another AMAZING reason to go see it. Yom.
 Can I have him for Christmas as well? xx

"I got wood legs and bow legs&no legs at all!" - Modest Mouse


I found this photo while I was trawling through one of my favourite sites for Vintage photos which is called My Vintage Vogue (Click here to go there!). 
It features photos from many different genres. This photo really stood out for me as I find it fascinating that this was from the 1920s and oh my would these has been Risque! Love the rebellion!
I have been looking at H! by Henry Holland for Pretty Polly tights lately and I feel this photo has inspired to just go for it!

All tights can be found at Pretty Polly Online or in Debenhams stores :) I also think River Island are selling them! xx
