Once again, I’ve found my bloglovin‘ list running a bit dry at the moment, so I went on a bit of a blog-reading binge to find myself some new reading material, and I thought I’d share some that I found!

Valentina de Pertis
Valentina’s blog is a mixture of outfit posts, hair tips, yummy looking recipes, and puppies! She’s on Pinterest, too.

d is for dangerous
Rebecca was in the Korean edition of Elle Girl this month, she’s selling her gorgeous nail designs, and she can do a mean halo braid.

Lauren Woodward
I am jealous of Lauren’s wardrobe. Especially her Prada stole.

Trudes
Technically, this is a Tumblr and not a blog, but it’s a massively inspiring collection, and therefore it makes the cut

What Now?
Katie’s only 17. Not fair.

A Harem of Peacocks
Vintage style, trips to zoology museums, and lots of inspiration posts.

That Kate
I want to go to Ditchling. It looks cute.

Rococo Vintage
Just look at it!! *swoon*

Enjoy!! If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them! Pop a link in the comments, or via twitter xx

Poll

Hi! Just a quickie, beacuse I’ve been looking back over the archives (which, incidentally, I really need to update, sorry!!) and I was wondering what sort of posts you most like reading, and would like to see more of?

If you chose ‘Something Else‘ give me a shout in the comments and let me know what it is!!
Thanks for voting!! xx

The Edge of Love

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine’s Day!
The Boy bought me a Boofle set (how cute is the website?!) with a mini hot water bottle, a mug and chocolates, and a mini Boofle. Aww
We had a nice night in with a takeaway, and watched the Edge of Love, which neither of us had seen. Today I’m feeling slightly obsessed with matt red lipstick and an urge to set my hair and put it up in victory rolls. Totally swooning over all of Keira Knightley’s 40′s costumes.

How was your Valentine’s?? xx

Round ‘Em Up!

So today, I have decided to stay indoors in the warm, finish reading Jamrach’s Menagerie for tomorrow’s bookclub, do some pre-dissertation reading (yep, waaaay in advance), and watch rubbish Sunday telly. The Boy has decided to venture into town in the snow. I think he’s regretting his decision already – five minutes after leaving the house, his facebook status was “That awkward moment when man (me) defies woman (Terri) and goes into town anyway, despite the snow being more of a problem than he would admit.” Haha. Anyway, here we go with a lovely snow-free roundup

I finally had my hair cut this week, and I’ve got feathers in my hair!! I’ve got bright red ones, and they just flash through, and I love them. I might post some photos up if anyone’s interested? I’m going to curl my hair later and see how they look. Now that I’ve had all the dead bits cut off, it looks (and feels) so much better. I really ought to get it cut slightly more often than I do. I’m thinking of cutting off some more, and really getting it nice and healthy so it can grow better. I think I have to come to terms with the fact that if I’m going to have long hair, it’s going to be flat because it’s heavy and naturally straight. Dammit. I love Cher Lloyd’s hair in the video for Want U Back, what do you think? (And, even though I’m a little bit ashamed, I actually quite like this song!!)

10 years of Vogue and Angelina Jolie.

Marilyn

The Bright Young Twins have opened asks on their Tumblr

Speaking of tumblrs, I love Yours Truly x, and the blog!

A Little Imagination and a Pile of Junk has some gorgeous journal pages. Tiny bit jealous.

I’m going to make one of these paper bag skirts with C&C’s tutorial. And look at these bloomers!! Cute

I love this photograph of Marilyn Monroe. Absolutely stunning. We Heart Vintage has some beautiful vintage photos, from the 20′s to the 70s, and youtube hair and makeup tutorials and all sorts.  Definitely one to check out!

I’m looking for some new blogs to read, so if you have one, or if you know some good ones, send them my way!!

The Artist

The Artist is a silent film, shot in black and white, shot in 1.33:1 “Academy ratio”, just as the silent films were.  Set in the late 1920′s, The Artist tells the story of silent movie star, George Valentin (played by a dashin Jean Dujardin), and Hollywood’s newest darling, Peppy Miller (played by the gorgeous Berenice Bejo), in the wake of the ‘Talkies’.

I honestly cannot recommend this highly enough.  If you haven’t seen it yet, get down to a cinema quick!  From what I can work out (and the fact that only one of the four closest cinemas to me was showing it), it’s a limited release film, so you might have to go a bit further afield to find a showing.  It’s nominated for loads of awards, and rightly so, because it’s the best film I have seen for ages.

Here’s the trailer, but don’t take my word for it, go and see it yourself!!

Round ‘Em Up!

Wow, another week gone already?! This week was the first back at uni, so it’s been a bit hectic – I got my essays back (yay!) and next week is the meeting to discuss dissertations (eep!).

Firstly, my gorgeous little sister plastered how much she loves me all over her blog. She’s such a sweetie, and if you don’t read her blog already, you should. She’s a much more regular blogger than I am!! Also, I love that my Mummy has made a Pinterest board of things she think I’d like. Aww

Victoria’s latest eBay finds post is up. I love these posts, her Tumblr is full of finds. If you’re after a designer-style anything, this is your girl!

I love Morven’s hair in this post. Might have to give this a try

I’ve been getting right back into journalling recently, which I’m really glad of. I miss it when I don’t keep up with it, and then it ends up just making me sad that I’ve missed so much. I might put a couple of my pages up soon, but I’m still debating!

Not that I need a new pair yet, but I have fallen a little bit in love with these Karen Millen glasses. I love the ones I have, but they’re black frames, and unless I have a full face of makeup on, I look a bit ghosty with them on!! Opinions?

Finally, my vintage birthday dress came this week, and it’s beautiful!! Here’s a sneak peek…

Round ‘Em Up!

ROUND UP TIME!!! Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA, I went and stayed at my mummy’s for a few days, and Brooke and I went for a Spa Day, and then I was back at work. Anyway – on with the roundup!

Photoplay

Yay for Scandals of Classic Hollywood! Here’s the latest offering, The Unspoken Tragedy of Natalie Wood. I love this series, and I’ve linked other ones before, but it’s definitely worth reading back through the archives if you have a chance (be careful though, I’ve lost hours to Classic Hollywood Scandals!)

Things you need in order to stay happy. Very true, especially about Tuesdays.

Here’s Agatha Christie and her surfboard, in 1922. Apparently, Agatha Christie mastered “stand-up surfing, becoming one of the earliest Britons known to do so.” Haha, go Aggie!!

How to travel like a gentlewoman. I want to go to Barcelona, after watching Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I also want to wake up and look like Penelope Cruz, but that’s a different matter. At least the former is achievable!!

Damien Hirst is having an exhibition at the Tate Modern, from April. Definitely one I plan on visiting. (I’m contemplating Christian Louboutin’s exhibition at the Design Museum too…)

How to be a Crazy Awesome Bitch like Angelina Jolie. Team Jolie forever, over here. Yep yep.

Oh My God. I need to go to this. Someone come with me?

Righty, that’s almost it for this week, just these couple of videos xx
