Have you seen Nerd Boyfriend?

The best part of blogs and really the ultimate reason why I know I read blogs, is for the crazy and wonderful new things other people have stumbled across and have been ever so kind as to share with the cyber world. Isn't it just great?  All these new unheard of bands that are struggling to get their sound out or perhaps a designer on the other side of the world that otherwise you might never have heard of.  It just warms my heart.  Today whilst perusing my backlog of must read blogs (thanks RAFW) I came across this pretty awesome website, Nerd Boyfriend, thanks to the cute and quirky craft blog Candy Castle by Sydney artist Kitiya Palaskas.  Nerd Boyfriend is a fashion blog like no other.  The author Roxana Altamirano, carefully chooses celebrities, more specifically male celebrities who have unequivocal style and recreates their ensemble.  Most of these men are iconic for their talents but this little doosey of a blog highlights and emulates their wicked bad style.  Enough said.  Have a look!

Life without Bob

"What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant. That she loved Mozart and Bach. The Beatles. And me." Oliver Barret IV, Love Story 1970

Kickin' it old school circa 2007

It's been coming for a while, the bob I have called mine for the past few years has decided to leave. I loved that bob, we have had some great times. We've danced, we found a boyfriend and we even had a baby. But time has come to let her grow.

I was flicking the channels on the light box when I came across the film 'Love Story', which was exactly that. *SPOILER ALERT* Rich guy meets poor girl, they get married against the rich families will and BAM she gets leukaemia and DIES! What does this have to do with bob? Well the leading lady in the film Elizabeth Alice Macgraw had 70's hair to die for and I died. I would watch 'Love Story' over and over again just for her raven hair and the killer Winter wardrobe.

So thank you Beth for being a mega babe, I have found a new style icon and now I want your hair.

Period drama babes.

Six loves her period dramas, and well, if I'm honest I am partial to them too. Have you ever noticed that the men in these movies, once transformed in their velvet jackets and vests and fancy hair are just so lovely? Actors you would normally turn a blind eye suddenly become, well, babes? Here are just a couple we have had the pleasure of noticing.

Ok, so there is an exception to this rule and that is Jason Schwartzman. Here at S+S we have a dedicated shrine to Sir Schwartzman, but his portrayal of King Louis in Marie Antoinette was brilliant, just not babe-worthy.
