Film Style Inspiration- Bonnie Parker (Bonnie and Clyde)

The inspiration for November's Film Style post is Faye Dunaway's portrayal of notorious bad gal Bonnie Parker from the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde. It's also the only of my Film Style posts in which the character is based on a real life person (to the best of my knowledge). 

The events of the film take place in the 1930's but as far as I can tell the style and make up is very much inspired by that of the decade it was filmed in, the 1960's. I tried to do my make up as close to the make up Faye Dunaway wears as possible. From what I can see she has some warm brown shades on her lids and straight black liner, white/nude liner on the water line and pretty nude lips.

Here's the make up I used to re-create her make up look:

Urban Decay Naked Palette- Virgin and Buck

Urban Decay 24/7 waterproof liquid liner in Perversion

Maybelline The Falsies mascara

No 7 false eyelashes in 20 

Carmex on the lips

As for the clothes, I'm pretty sure everyone knows the stills of Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty from the film. Her character's uniform consists of knee or calf length textured skirts, patterned triangle scarves, light coloured blouses, cable knit sweaters, a beret and flats/sensible heels. Here is my version of the Bonnie Parker costume (without the prop gun).

Beret- Accessorize

Cardigan and Skirt- Monsoon

Shoes- Marks and Spencers

Scarf- Charity Shop

My hair is a lighter colour. I wanted to go back to my natural colour and decided colour remover was the way to go but obviously because I've coloured my hair about 7 times this past year it wasn't going to be that easy. It's now a lighter shade of red than it was and I kind of like it. I'm going to let it grow out for as long as I can stand the roots. Then, who knows. 

I have gotten up to date with almost everything. I have two more posts ready to go and I'm almost done editing all the wedding photos. A big thank you to Donnacha who got a new desktop computer for me this week. I can finally edit again!

Thank you all so much for the lovely comments about the wedding. You are the best people.

Film Style Inspiration- The Addams Family (Wednesday Addams)

I didn't think I would get to do my Film Style post this month between everything we have going on, but thankfully Donnacha and I took some time yesterday to take these photos in the same place we took these ones. Things have been so hectic I haven't really had a chance to think about blogging at all, but I wanted to get one post in before we go away this week. So this is my Halloween film style post. I didn't end up dressing up in a costume at all so this will have to do. It's my interpretation of a grown up modern Wednesday Addams. Hope you enjoy!

I almost forgot to tell you a funny story that goes along with the photos. Donnacha and I were just about finished when we saw a Dublin city council worker in a hi-vis jacket walking around the perimeter of the park. We were packing up our stuff when we heard him talking behind us, I though he was talking to us so I turned around only to see him nudging something behind a bush with his foot. Turns out some sort of intoxicated vagrant had made himself a nice little bed in the middle of the bush and was now almost comatose and wouldn't move so the guy started to threaten him with called the Gardaí (Irish word for police). We decided that was a good time to scadaddle! The charms of Dublin are endless!

I apologise for not keeping up with my commenting etc, I will be back to normal next week! (Hopefully)

I hope you all are well,

Whatever Words I Say I Will Always Love You

Here are the rest of the photos from the wedding. There were so many of Kate and I laughing because my heels kept sinking into the grass and I would fall backwards and have to grab onto her. Heehee!

The loveliest bridesmaid! (in my opinion)

I wanted to record a new video but I have no desktop at the moment to edit because Donnacha needs it for his new office so I'll probably wait until after the wedding and do a wedding make up video. I have so many products I want to tell you about. 

I hope you are having a great weekend. Mine has been great so far, Friday in work we had a really successful visit from the regional director of the company who was very pleased with the changes we've made in the children's department and we went out for drinks last night with our lovely friend Róisín and caught up on the past couple of months. 

Much love,

Emma xx
