The Bedside Stack

Yeah, it's a fashion blog, but you know what, it's my blog and I can write about whatever I want. Wednesdays will be Project days, and the rest of the week, I can post reviews, recipes, diys, and other stuff. Maybe I'll even do some give-aways. Anyway, today. Everyone has a few books they can read over and over again. I like to call this, "The bedside stack". They're the books you keep next to your bed, on your bedstand or the floor. So what are yours? Today I'd like to share mine.

Sylvie and Bruno

Comet in Moominland

Son

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

The Willoughbys (Literally the funniest book I've ever read)

Anne of Green Gables

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

The Book Thief

Pride and Prejudice

The Fault in Our Stars

What Einstein Told His Cook (the only nonfiction book there)

Hans Christian Anderson's fairytales (link is not to the same edition I have, sorry)

Finn Family Moomintroll

The Wind in the Willows

The Graveyard Book

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Half Blood Prince is actually my fav, but I keep it on my shelf because it's the right width to fill a hole there)

The Marvellous land of Oz

The Complete Sherlock Holmes Stories

My other favorites, not included in the picture, are:

Lord of the Rings

The Hobbit

Alice in Wonderland/ Through the Looking Glass

Wuthering Heights

P.S. I love christmas lights all year long. I draped these over my headboard as a reading light!

They create a really warm colour pattern on the walls!

Day 4- The 1950's!

I love the 50's. I mean, what a great time for a caucasian male! If you were African American or Female, well.... But still! I mean, I LOVE Lucy

And, I mean, wasn't Grease just the greatest? Tight pants and all!

And my favourite part of the 50's...

THE DOCTOR!!!!! 1953! And I like Rose's skirt. 

Any way, now for the actual post. 

{The inspiration}

50's plaid! This may be a bit extreme, but I love the swishy skirt and white blouse. Plus the vintage magazine cover is so me. My kitchen is decorated in vintage vinyl covers and old Nat Geos. Anyway, my mom was in high school in the 70's, and according to the 20 year rule I should be able to find something 50's in her closet...

{the interpretation} 

I paired a white peter pan collared shirt with a full plaid skirt. The skirt is spot on, but I with the blouse was a bit more... blouse-y, I guess. Other than that, I think I did pretty well. (the lips in the corner are a shout out to Lucy's red lipstick, see above). Definitely the best yet.
