Here’s something to keep you busy until Episode VII: The Force Awakens!

Star Wars: The Complete Vader is an excellent coffee table book from Random House at a bargain price!

There are plenty of glossy images, pullouts and keepsakes with a surprisingly thorough text, so even hardcore Star Wars fans should see or read something new 🙂

A heartily recommended time waster.

Some amazing photos AND fashion, what’s not to love?

Fashion Fetishism.

Should you be one of my followers (~~if not, do sign up, I’ll even promise you virtual cake or some such for your birthday)~~ you will have noticed that I am somewhat of a fan of Fairytales. Now, I assume you’re looking for the follow box on the right.. there you found it!.. Yes, it’s a quote from Alice in Wonderland..well done! As should be clear from this blog that I have a thing for fashion as well, so stumbling over these pictures with the adorable Annie Leibovitz was a special delight and made a sunny afternoon even better.
