Hair Inspiration (Zhou Xuan)

Sick day number... four I think. Major hair inspiration! Oh my goodness, I was trolling around the internet looking at blogs, and found the Bobby Pin Blog. It's amazing, honestly if you haven't been reading it already, you need to be. Anyway, back on topic.

She had this post about Zhou Xuan, a Chinese actress in the 40s. I've never seen a movie she's been in before, or even heard of her before, but she was called the Golden Voice of China, because she had such a beautiful voice. After a bad string of relationships with men she died at 38, which is just so sad. :(

I absolutely love the first picture, it's so sweet! The makeup is flawless, and I can't actually see the dress, but I love the yellow plaid. Omgod it just makes me want to run out and buy some plaid fabric to make a dress. But what I love the most is the hair, I love the way the bangs are rolled in this one, it's like... a victory roll, but to the side. I wish I could see what the back looked like though... Oh well!

I love the second hairstyle, but I have kind of a round face, so I'm not so keen on just pulling back my hair out of my face. Either way, the ribbon is adorable, when I was little I used to wear bows in my hair all the time, if anything I think I'm gonna bring back the bows. :)

Ahhhh if I wasn't stuck in this house I would be doing my hair up like this!

Swoon!

Sick day, number three. There isn't really much to say about it, still feeling awful, ohhh! but the mail truck just stopped by with a lovely box from sephora!! okay I'll make a post about it next, but this isn't about magical mail trucks that brighten my day or anything. This post is about Mod Cloth. I absolutely adore Mod Cloth.

Yesterday they sent out this email about their new vintage collection. Oh. My God. All those pretty dresses! The lipstick! And it's set at a train station! It's gorgeous.

Okay okay enough rambling, my absolute favorites! (Oh and please ignore my awful attempt at a collage or anything, being sick this was the best that I could manage.)

Want. Want. Want. It's the Always and Forever dress. It's so gorgeous! Of course it is also impossible that I could ever get it, I mean there are probably two million other people also swooning over it, so I guess it's just another dress thats gonna be put onto my sewing list. So gorgeous!!

Oh my goodness, this dress is going on my sewing list too! It's the Wish You Were Here dress! This one is so sweet. I just love the little square neckline and the color! I'm crossing my fingers that I can snag one, but like that's ever gonna happen.
