Right Now I'm loving... (the internet in general really)

1. Hayden Williams: Fashion Illustrator

This chap is one of my Instagram discoveries and I am so delighted to have found him. His illustrations are very cool. 

Guess who??

He also has pretty cool pictures of Jennifer Lopez and the Olsens twins. 

All his stuff is up on Tumblr and it's well worth looking through because he does some pretty cool things with Disney Princesses and villains too.

2. New Girl Season 2

I love you Schmidt.

3. Pixiwoo

I did a little post a while ago about beauty blogs that I love but I have also been getting really into makeup tutorials too. Particularly those of sisters Nic and Sam Chapman of Pixiwoo.

Here are a small collection of my favourites...

This one is for Eva Green and she actually ends up properly looking like her!

They are coincidentally all from the Bond Girl series they did. 

I only started watching the videos after buying the Real Techniques brushes (go buy them now, they're available in Boots for the Galwegians!) and I have already learned so much! Also, now that Halloween is fast approaching they are going some Halloween inspired makeup. Well worth a watch. 

Cheers for reading,

Currently obsessed with...

THE TRAILER FOR ARGO

Here are five reasons why the trailer for Argo looks fantastic.

1. The trailer indicated that the movie will contain Ben Affleck. Swoon. Not only in a leading role but in his first directorial role since The Town (which is very good if you haven't seen it). Swoon again.

2. The trailer contains Aerosmith's Dream On which I think is one of the greatest songs. Of. All. Time. I really do. I don't even like Aerosmith (do not get me started on I Don't Want to Miss a Tha-ang) but I think this song is the ultimate motivational song and it should be in way more movies and trailers and just general life situations. If anyone ever makes a movie of my life, I want Dream On to be the song played in the trailer. Or at my funeral. Whichever comes first.

3. It's based on a true story. Read more about The Canadian Caper.

4. Alongside Ben Affleck, the trailer contains the following actors: Bryan Cranston, Chris Messina, Alan Arkin, Victor Garber, John Goldman and a man who according to IMDB is called Scoot McNairy. I don't actually know this actor Scoot McNairy but I just like the fact that his name is Scoot McNairy. Scoot McNairy.

5. The general plot of the movie. It just looks like something I will really love. I don't even care if it gets bad reviews and turns out to be really crap (which I really do not think will be the case). It's two hours watching Ben Affleck with a beard. Happy camper I am.

The Coat's The Thing

Every so often, I set my eyes on an item of clothing and suddenly I cannot get enough of it. This summer it was the woolly jumpers (bizarre it may seem for a summer obsession, not so in Ireland) and I spent a great deal of the summer in woolly jumpers (again not so bizarre considering the weather we had) but now I find that my growing obsession for coats is taking over. And it's taking over badly. 

I haven't actually bought any coats so far since my sights shifted from woolly jumpers to coats but that's just because this time my sights appear to have set themselves pretty high unfortunately.

Céline high.

If you look really closely, you can see the pink lining in the sleeve, which brings me to...

The dusty pinks

Love love love love love!

Chloé also showed a few pink jackets which were also gorgeous but did not quite excite me as much as the coats (the coats, the glorious coats!) but the pink coats are something that really caught my eye. I really want a pink coat. Really really want a pink coat. So much so that I actually considered how long it might take me to save for the somewhere in the reign of €1800 price tag. 

And then I bought Grazia. 

So if you ever buy Grazia - which I don't actually do that regularly but I am so glad I did on this occasion - you'll know that in the first few pages of actual content they have like a list of twenty clothing items or jewellery pieces to look out for, a watchlist or something like that. I think it was The Big Fashion Issue from about two weeks ago but I'm not entirely sure but anyway whichever issue it was inside their watchlist thing was a dusty pink coat. From Marks & Spencer's for a far more affordable price of something like £89. As far as I can remember reading, it won't be in store until sometime this month but I do feel like maybe I will want to make a purchase. Eeeee! It was pretty hard to find a picture online but this (below) seems to be the one.

Look at those lovely slouchy sleeves!

Now I'm sure you're reading this and thinking "Coats. For Autumn? Groundbreaking" but all the magazines are obviously featuring (alongside all the Fashion Weeks stuff) the winter collections so I just cannot get away from all of these beautiful coats. There's no escape!
