Just something about them

Tattoo Lust

For as long as I can remember I've wanted a tattoo. When I was at school every girl had them on their hip bone or the 'tramp stamp' lower back, neither of these were a personal favourite of mine, or an area I wanted. Over the years tattoo's and piercings have definately become mainstream, and all the areas i'd like them in over time have become also, however I still long for one in these areas.

I used to want winding flowers around my feet and ankles, natural, always in a henna brown type. I wanted a tiny intimate one behind my ear, that noone would see, one on my wrist. 

The one i've wanted most is a larger design on my rib area following my natural curve. The idea originally started off coming from my hip area following the hip/waist curve to the ribs/back, but with the prospect of having kids in the future I figured i'd have to redesign. Lately i'm lusting after something on my back also, all I want to be natural, delicate, pretty, not out of place when I wear delicate clothes and all easily hide-able.

I'm still waiting on my first one, as i've never found that correct design or managed to design one in my head that i've ben 100% happy with.. sigh.. the longings here more than ever!

Anyone else lusting like I am?

Oscars

The oscars, looking through the gowns there wasn't many general faux-pas, problem was there also weren't many that excited me. I wanted something special to look at and so four below are my personal favourites.

Michelle Williams: Chanel

Hailee Steinfeld: Marchesa

Cate Blanchet: Givenchy Haute Couture

And finally my favourte for it's simplicity, stunning colour and far to beautiful model

Mila kunis: Elie Saab, Haute Couture

I'm in love with everything this photo represents, and every emotion it makes me feel. If ever there is a reminder, this is it.

As a fashion student there was nothing I found more inspiring than photography, catwalks didn't do much for me, neither did designers, i've always got 'the buzz' from enviable fashion photography. I've always wanted to study both fashion design and fashion photography, I love both, and without the photography inspiration I don't know where I would have found it. It varied from the bloom books found in my college, to the editorials in fashion magazines. I wish I knew where I found all these images, i've had them saved on my computer for about 3 years, there eqsuisite! Theres sometimes nothing better than a sulltry, dark photo.

I need copies of these in my flat. Stunning, looking at them again makes my head start buzzing with ideas already!

This film was enchanting when I was younger, released in 1997, I was only 9 at the time and loved the story of the two cousins finding the fairies and photographing them. Having not seen this film in years, all of a sudden I have this urge to watch it again, get lost in the magical idea that this could have actually happened.

I love the fairy house they made, I love the story, I love the magic, I love the feeling the film evokes.

I am so into ANTM, something about it makes me feel so creative! I think I watched up to series 8 or something religiously, and then whilst at uni (student digs) got out of the loop and started re-watching at series 13.

I rarely care who wins, and don't often care for the drama of the show, but watching the girls get makeovers, the theatrical makeup, hair, styling, the end photo, I love it! I want to be part of that world (behind not infront of the camera)

Two of my favourite contestants are Nicole and Shandi, I love their awkward presence, but absolute beauty! Shandi after her makeover looked so beautiful! Nicole from the begging was exquisite and I fell in love with her long red wavy hair from the moment I saw her. She is the most stunning girl I think that's been on there, there's just something about her. Onto the current series, I think Ann will be a soon favourite, following in this trend.. her photos are astounding, there's something beautiful about her, but she's so awkward any time other than when she's infront of the camera

Two of my favourite photos

Oh I can't wait till Monday to see what photos come up next! Maybe they can go back to more simple elegance like the one above soon, all the photoshopping gets a little to much sometimes (only sometimes, it's incredible what they create) wouldn't it be great to have a photo as great as this of yourself?  Jealous much..?!

I love this film, I always forget about it, but whenever I think about masks it reminds me of the beautiful dance scenes. When I was young this film was one of my favourites, and still is to date, I used to enjoy watching it, but when the trolls and scary masks appeared it'd always be through my fingers. Theres something fantastic about masks, venetian ones are to die for, I wish I knew the reason behind the haunting, scary looking ones.

Note: Google it. I used to have this really strange crush on David Bowie in this film, and my god how tight are his leggings! Thinking of hitting ebay/amazon to find this now, I need to watch this scene! I may also have to travel to Italy just to buy a genuine mask (not that I need a reason, I have to go there!)

Jayma Mays: Glee's Emma has such an exquisite style! Adorable little twin sets, blouses, she hs the cutest face, like a little rabbit. I would love to own her wardrobe.
