Some people argue that the nineties were the best era for fashion, cult classic movies and music.

I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE

If you are a 'true' nineties fan you would like:

American Pie - stifler's film

Fear - Marky mark film

She's all that - F prince Jr

10 things i hate about you - Heath & Julia

Clueless - Alicia silverstone

Blast from the past - Alicia silverstone

Never been kissed - Drew barrymore

Roswell TV show

Romie and Juliet - Leo Dicaprio

The list of movies go ON and ON and ON and ON

Some music would be:

Aaliyah

Dink

Weezer

Bush

TLC

Creed

No doubt

Garbage

Deee-lite

Nirvana

The cranberries

Another longgggg list!

BUT the best of the best is yet to come my 90s fans!

Don't forget the FASHION!

Think:

Cher from Clueless (the girly girl fashionista

Kat & Bianca from 10 things i hate about you (the badass and the angel)

Aaliyah's hip hop look (music vids)

Romie and Michelle's individual style (from the movie)

Grunge / glam grunge ( Daria/Courtney Love )

Sex and the city (first few seasons)

What comes after

BOOK REVIEW

What comes after  - Steve watkins

Do you you like the name Iris?

Have you ever milked a goat?

 Have you ever been abused into a state of shock?

Have you ever met a boy called Littlebird?

Ever heard of piloerection?

Intigued yet?

Well i really hope you are because if so this book is for you.

Its about a teenage girl named Iris who tragically is pulled away from her loved ones to live a farm life with a Aunt and Cousin. Sound plan? Defintely not. Its a heartfelt book that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat not wanting the book to end. To say the least i was hooked reading it, teared up 3 times, felt like i was the characters so it drew me in and it only took me the day to read it.

I would recommend it to anyone. Even fans of typical twilights and true bloods ( which i am also a BIG fan of ). At first i thought i might not like it because it seemed like a 'real life' read - a book that i feel is to plain to be drawn into because it doesnt have blood suckers and sparkly characters, but i couldnt have been more wrong.

10/10

All the good ones are taken

Okay... so believe it or not a a gained the courage to give someone my number today.

I don't know if it was this Vanity fair reese witherspoon go getter personality rubbing off on me or what.
I was wearing a 1950s inspired outfit wih black 1950s peddle pushers, a pink boobtub with bow at the front, black chocker and my hair down secured with black sunglasses....
Anyway.... im at the local shops which the mystery guy always works at and we always share 'stolen glances' at eachother and i thought 'you know what...  i accept that challenge' sooo i jotted my name and digits on a receipt and gave it to him...
It went like this:
me : " hi, this will sound silly but take this. Im ____ "
him :"  ok.....*smile* ... _____"
me: " Bye *smile*"
him: *smile*

So yes... very simple, but it was very cute! OR so i thought....

I got a text about 3 hours later, here it is:

Hey! Its ____. thx for your number you seem really nice. However :S ive recently got a new gf and i didnt know how to tell ou without making the whole situation akward haha so if  date is what u wanted i am sorry but i have to decline for said reason. still say hi when you come through im usually friendly. nice to meet you ___ ."

GOD DAMN CRAP GOD DAMN!

Alwell i replied with a nice little text back.
I can stil perve at him i guess but i'm not embaressed, angry or anything else except proud that i was confident enough to do it ( since i was a digit virgin ... until now ;) ). I was lucky he was kind and respectful and easy on the eyes so i dont feel so jilted!

Just goes to show manners can still exist and that more girls should take a chance because it may be worth it... whether for a date or a learning lesson.

Men of another era

Now im serious

Because this is heartbreaking...

 they just dont make men how they used to...

but i can ALWAYS dream

ehehehehe!

The wig party

OBSESSION OF THE WEEK

Periodic Movies ( preferably victorian period )!!

Movies:

Marie Antoinette - Kirsten Dunst

Vanity Fair - Reese Witherspoon

The Duchess - Keira Knightly

Elizabeth - Cate Blanchett

The other boleyn girl - Scarlet & Natalie

also

Shakespear in love - Gweneth Paltrow

Queen Victoria - Emily Blunt

Hmm... yes yes... I lie! Its not a week obsession, its more of a obsession of a general form since i love periodic movies, its the courtship, drama, fashion, makeup, manners and men.

I was defintely born in the wrong era!

BUT never fret as you can always copy cat!

Pretty silks, ribbons, bows, lace and light pastel colours will always work whether in fashion or home decor. Curls and pretty tendrels in the hair will always be in style and can be pinned to look more 'classicly'. Night gowns and floral scented perfume will make you sleep like a 1900s goddess!

KEEP CALM and watch the movies!

Let them eat cake

"Let them eat cake"! - Marie Antoinette

Kirsten Dunst is the epidemy of Glamour in this modern adaption of Marie Antoinette's life.. or so it would seem. This movie has an element of drama, sadness, class and pastel colours.

The soundtrack is outhere with classic 80s hits revamped such as 'I want candy' to opera music. ITS A HIT!

Any female with a love of fashion, heels, sweet foods, high hair, makeup, pugs and feathers will ADORE this movie. 

 P.s I own the movie and the soundtrack <3
