Hey just a little post to show you what I have been up to recently
Recent purchases grey top and bag from New Look.
I'm definitley channelling 80s madonna and rock chick at the moment. The skirt I'm wearing is vintage.
Massive steaks for dinner my first real nail art attempt however...I have not got a steady left hand so I only managed to paint the right hand so it had to come off! haha any tips to help me? Ben eating a tiny sandwich night on the town starting with ring of fire, classy. Terrance just chilling being awesome.
So Ive always made a big deal out of Halloween ever since I was little. This year has been a little different, maybe its because im growing up but Im pretty sure its just because most of my friends are away this weekend.
I went to a small house party last night in my costume which was partly handmade (ive been really skint recently so i couldnt go all out). So I made the top and I made some spooky cakes as well. I knew that orange food colouring would be used again! haha i made the top by just gluing paper bones, i tried to sew them but they would have ripped off too easily.
I had some tights with bones painted on them too but i didnt take any photos! silly i know.
tonight will be the first halloween (that I can remember) where im not doing anything. Im gonna just watch nightmare before christmas and corpse bride I think. If i watch anything scary i wont sleep because im all alone in my house! eeep!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 'Goodnight out there...what ever you are!' (or I might watch Count Duckula!)
I photographed a wedding over the holiday and as a thank you gift the bride and groom bought me an absolutley wonderful copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland AND Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Caroll.
Apparently they bought it from a second hand bookshop, because they new how much I loved the story. And guess what!!?! The book they bought me is almost 100 years old! The inscription inside says 'Christmas 1911' so some lucky girl or boy got the story as a christmas present all those years ago. The book is in pretty good condition considering its age, although it has obviously been read a lot as the spine of the book is a bit worn and discoloured. It has both colour and black and white illustrations, you know the iconic ones by Sir John Tenniel.
My favourite picture in the book is the gold embelished White Rabbit on the front cover.
I love all the characters from the books but I must admit to liking the Queen of hearts the most. My 19th birthday (im almost 21 now) was fancy dress and i wanted to go as the Queen of Hearts so my mum helped me make my own version of the Queen of hearts costume, what do you think? (the photos dont do it much justice because i forgot to take a full length one, i was too excited by it being my birthday!) My friend and I share a birthday so she went as Alice :)
As you can tell i'm slightly obsessed. I cant wait for Tim burton's version of the story to be released the trailor looks epic!
