Dear Internet

Thank you for bringing the following to my attention...

The new Rebecca Black. Because apparently the original wasn't enough. Weekdays? Pfff. Holidays are the real money makers. That's why Patrice Wilson - a co-writer on the infamous "what day comes after Thursday and before Saturday" track - has penned a new tune, the ambiguously named (not) It's Thanksgiving sung by the young Nicole Westbrook.

Warning: your brain will never forgive you if you play this.

Talk about a cool cat. 

And finally, these two online stores that have recently come to my attention. The first is the amazing Redbubble which I made a little order with and have since been sitting by the door awaiting the postman (not really but I am super duper excited). I will be doing a very cool post all about the website and my order as soon as it arrives. 

The next store is the devastatingly cool McPhee which I came across while seeking out an inflatable unicorn horn for a cat (I kid you not). However McPhee doesn't deliver outside the States. Wait, do you hear that? That's the sound of my heart breaking because I cannot purchase zombie finger puppets,  bacon toothpaste, the crazy cat lady board game or the dashboard hula girl. Oh woe is me! I had done pretty much all of my christmas shopping and got to the checkout only to be told that no matter how much post and packaging I was willing to pay, I would never get my very own collection of 3 inch tall horrified B-movie victims or rubber chicken in a Santa suit. The injustice!

Well that is all for now.

Cheers for reading,

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,

Damn, Girl: Eleonora Carisi

So I am finally doing another Damn, Girl post as despite the fact that it's supposed to be a frequent feature, I don't do it very frequently. In light of this fact I have chosen a fairly cool lady to be the subject of this post.
Eleonora Carisi - the woman behind JouJouVilleroy.com - is an absolute babe. This french mademoiselle is utterly chic, has a serious figure and is not afraid to experiment with different styles even if they are a little controversial (see below)...

When Carisi sported this, um, blouse to a business lunch date in NY November last (yeah you heard me; a business lunch date!), the fashion blogsphere and magazines like Grazia went mad debating whether it was a faux pas, a sign of things to come or just frankly indecent. Some even questioned if it was actually legal! Apart from that outfit that left camps divided, Carisi has sported some exceptional apparel and her classic style with hints at quirky trends is what earned her a place on this post.

With a spread of mirrored tattoos on her chest, you might not expect this Italian lady to promote such a classically chic and sometimes tomboyish style. She mixes the French bien dans sa peau attitude towards dressing (essentially equal parts comfort and elegance) with the exhibitionism of her native Italy. 
So without further adieu, here some pictures of her for you all to enjoy. 

How amazing are those ice skate heels!?

Oh yeah, just chilling on an escalator.

Isn't she absolutely fabulous? I personally - as you may have guessed - have a total girl crush on her. And you will too after checking out her blog, JouJouVilleroy.com which she recently changed from a bloggy kind of format to a proper website kind of one which is taking a lot of getting used to but it is still well worth a look because she is definitely one to go to for some style inspiration!

Cheers for reading,

A Bit Of Tumblr Inspiration

So I have been, for quite some time, a fan of Tumblr. I've been tumbling (yeah I just said that) for about two years now and I have to say that for a scrapbooker like myself Tumblr is an absolute haven. I always see people posting various style inspiration pictures on their blogs and even though I don't normally do that, there are just so many fantastic pictures floating about at the moment that I couldn't resist. So I just chose a few little pictures that I am finding particularly inspirational at the moment.

This girl is probably the coolest individual on the planet...
