Bygone Beauty
Just discovered a wonderful blog called Beauty is a Thing of the Past filled with countless magazine clippings from the 1930s and 1940s providing tips on styling your hair and creating the perfect make-up look. I'm obsessed with stuff like this, even if I don't always have the time to sit and painstakingly pin curl my whole head.
Bygone Fashion
Just discovered a great livejournal style blog, Bygone Fashion. Here are some images by the photographer Mark Shaw who shot some of the most classic and elegant fashion photos of the 1950s/1960s and was also known for his documentation of the Kennedys home life.

Ralph Vaessen
I spotted German designer's Ralph Vaessen's incredible range of handcrafted horn eyewear in the December issue of Vogue & just had to share.
And check out these beauties from his 2009 collection....
Pretty Pretty
Earlier this month, I styled a Barbarella-inspired photoshoot for the Glasgow Guardian. The model was the brilliant Christin Haussman and the photographer was Rosalind Blake. The location was the retro-futuristic Kibble Palace at Glasgow's Botanic Gardens. Here are a couple of my behind-the-scenes shots, watch out for the final edits in the next issue of the Glasgow Guardian (out now).

Good morning little schoolgirl...
I found this beautiful photo on Fashion Copious, a wonderful site full of all things fashion.
I love the model's hair and make-up, and the subdued nostalgia of the colours and light. I'll be using this, as well as the other shots in the set, as inspiration for my own fashion/art photography.
I'll no doubt be posting more amazing editorials as found on FC, I can literally spend hours just trawling through images and rediscovering the urge to hit the gym...
