Shoes for Tomorrow.

I've seen many photos and heard a lot of things about the new movement following TOMs shoes and I just thought 'yeah they're the new thing' no thought went in to it really. But after reading in the December issue of Marie Claire I've discovered they do a lot more than provid footwear for us!
It all started with Blake Mycoskie who was a young businessman who saw poverty and decided to change it. This is when Shoes for Tomorrow came in and basically for every pair of TOMs sold he will donate another pair ro a child who needs shoes! I love this idea! It's so lovely, I don't normally buy into movements of this sort but I think I really could as its just such a good cause!
Heres just some celebs who have got their hands on some! (Zac Efron, Liv Tyler&Keira Knightley)

They have a huuuuuge range of designs and colours and when its this good a cause how can you say no?!

"Eye of newt, and toe of frog...

Halloween was amazing and I completely loved it! For once there was only maybe one, possibly two, who were not dressed up which is pretty epic! Even though 98% of girls were nurses covered in blood and nearly all boys were just in blood stained white shirts! ahah. Bless. My friends and I were dressed up and of course we went all out! We had Queen of Hearts, Alice in Wonderland, Death on Vacation (Oh yes, inventive) and of course me, I was a Lion Tamer/Ring Leader! I turned more into a ring leader as I didn't take my stuffed lion out as I knew I would either lose it or someone would steal it! I don't have many photos as I couldn't find my camera charger so that died :( I have a few though so enjoy!

 Lawson is a Ninja and Ben is a guy with a few bandages wrapped around. I think the idea was mummy but thats a kinda fail attempt :) lol.

Death on Vacation. Original like.

As I didn't have a lion with me I adapted and decided to include a chair within my costume. Needless to say I only adapted for one photo... My homemade jacket which startd out as a good idea and then took soooo long! Was so frustrating but it worked in the end, yeyy.
Ahhhh loved it :) Things came together as well! xx

"Set the ferris wheel ablaze" - My Chemical Romance

Yes I am aware that its another My Chemical Romance title but its because I went and saw them in Edinburgh and well, they were EPIC. Not much else to be said apart from Edinburgh kids are brutal but the band are just as pretty, some prettier than others, and they seemed to have returned to a more gritty state in which I approve. They have changed somewhat as back in my day (yes I'm 90) Frank Iero was the second main man but now young Mikey is. Fair play Mikey, you are no longer the shy ridden boy hiding at the back of the stage behind his big glasses and even bigger hair.

As I was only going for a night I didn't want to take too many clothes as it would be too much to carry...I packed accordingly which is suprising and amusing when I saw how much Kelly had packed (Bless choo!) So here goes!

Day&Night. 

I decided to carry a simple LBD dress along as it goes with everything!

LBD, H&M,. Brown Top, Topshop,. Belt, Primark,. Floral Top, French Connection

Had an amazing time and well I love Edinburgh! I ate too much and walked so much my feet still ache today! But I wouldn't change a thing.

We found this super cute museum which was about Scottish Literary Writers. It was a complete stumble-upon moment as we couldn't find it advertised anywhere and it was only because we saw words carved into the wall (below) and the floor which led up the little museum! It was soooo cute inside though and would say to go just to explore! (For people who want to go...you need to go up the Mound and then you'll see a little cut to your right, go up there!)

The huge amount of food we had in one sitting but was gorgeous! I had the potato skins, cheese&bacon and Kelly had the Tomato&Mozzerella Salad. We both tried and failed to have these cheeseburgers and had to resort to taking the half-finished things with us!

And of course the band in question! I enjoyed, a lot. :) Now back to doing workkkk, humf.

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
