I is well smart, I read books :) - Giveway

Hello my dears,

How are we?
I am cream crackered! That's cockney rhyming slang for tired :)
I went to the Wish magazine launch today, it was really cool. I'll blog about it more tomorrow.

For now though I wanted to do a quick giveaway to start off the week :)

I have three copies of Jane Slayre to give away, this book is on of the mash up book collection, these books combines classic work of fiction, with a certain popular genre such as vampires or zombies.

Now I haven't started reading it but the description on Amazon is: Mrs Reed and her children are vampires, Lowood is run by a voodoo headmaster who is turning his pupils into the walking dead, Mr Rochester's first wife is a werewolf, and Jane must learn to embrace her destiny as a slayer of evil before she can win her heart's desire.

If you would like to be in for a chance of winning one of the three books please leave a comment below or retweet the giveaway before Friday 18th May 2012. I will then pick three people at random.

This giveaway s open to all readers :)

I might not start mine until the giveaway is closed and the winners have received their copies, we could have a virtual book club :)

I hope you all have a great week.
Ciao for now.

Sharing is Caring

Hello all :)
How are we? Good I hope.

Today's outfit post is a little different.
The Lovely Amy from Vintage Reflection and I recently swapped some of our dresses.
I lent her my favorite purple one and she lent me this one, so we thought it would be cool to do joint posts :)

We both have similar tastes but what I love the most is we style things so differently. I love the floral print on the dress, it is made from really soft cotton. I love the blue flowers in it so I decided to pair it with some blue tights and my favorite ankle boots.

I think the way the Amy has styled it below is lovely, she looks so cozy :)

Sharing or swapping clothes with friends is always fun. It is the best way of getting a new outfit without parting with any cash. With sharing also means that you double each others wardrobes :)

Why don't you give it a go?
Only problem I am having is giving Amy her dress back because I love it :)
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Ciao for now

Rooney Mara: Have you heard? I HEART her :)

Ello :)

Well I don't know if you saw my latest tweet but I have seemed to have developed two new celebrity crushes which is quite strange as firstly apart from when I was say 15 I haven't really had any and secondly one is a girl!!!

Ok I don't have the same naughty feeling as I have for Johnny Depp (I know Johnny Depp has always been hot but I have only just noticed... strange) for Rooney but I think she is stunning and such a chameleon.

 

I love her look before she stared in The girl with the Dragon tattoo it was so cute and girly.

I am not a big fair of the blonde eyebrows but I was shocked to see her make over. I can't believe something so different would suit her so well. 

It makes me realize that when it comes to trying new looks it is better to try things rather than discount them because you think they won't work.

I have had many a hair color and style, I might fish out some pictures and look at my own changing styles :)
So who are your celebrity crushes, style or otherwise? :)

Ciao for now

Sister Love :)

Hi Lovelies,
How did you spend your day today?
Me?? Well I had some sister bonding time with my Lovely Spec.

I got to play hairdresser and styled Spec's hair with some mini victory rolls and my favorite vintage scarf :)

Doesn't she look prettyful.

And where there is sister bonding there is also matching make up and silly pictures.
Spec and I don't look much a like but we are both very silly, and like a good ol' giggle :)

If anyone is interested in me popping along to a party/hen do to recreate some 40/50's hair and make up styles please drop me an email at muffintopvintage@hotmail.co.uk

Have a super great weekend.
Ciao for now
