Should it be socially acceptable for men to wear makeup?

Just a quickie post for today. I saw this image yesterday on a great blog called Broadist, which asks "why isn't it socially acceptable for men to wear makeup". Now, I can't say for a second that I wouldn't judge a man if I found out he wore foundation now and then, particularly a straight man (lets just say I would pass on a second date), but I'm slightly frustrated that I've allowed myself to be conditioned to feel this way.

Why shouldn't men be able to cover up their ugly red spots and the circles under their eyes? I can't say I could stretch to accepting eyeliner just yet, but maybe I'm just closed minded. I mean, it is a pain in the arse putting makeup on every morning, but I feel a hell of a lot better about myself when I do!

Maybe there's a gap in the market for makeup branded for men? Opinions, please!

Dolls Kill: 'Online Boutique for misfits and miss legits'

Turns out I'm not very good at this regular blogging business! But today I thought I might attempt to enlighten those of you who are looking for something a little out of the ordinary with regards to fashion, with a post dedicated to the wonderfully grunge, or what some might call 'alternative' online store, Dolls Kill.

In recent months, mainstream UK fashion has been failing quite miserably to inspire me to write about anything stylish or even dress myself in the mornings! However, just recently I stumbled across this bitter-sweet fusion of experimental street styles that fits in beautifully with the 90's grunge trend this year.

Dolls Kill provides the whole shabang. Combining Hippie, Goth, Grunge, Techno and even a touch of Lolita, the store sells items that encourage buyers to stand out from the crowd whilst dressing at the height of personalised fashion. Stocking clothing from brands such as UNIF, Petals and Peacocks, and Wildfox, the shop is a little bit of a guilty pleasure.

The only issue is that being a site based in the USA, delivery costs stay at the flat rate of $20, equivalent to approximately £12.70 in the UK. Sadly, being a student, this works out to be a little too pricey for me at the moment, but if you can afford it, please, DO IT! 

Hi Platform Sneakers $129 (aprox £82) - I think these flatforms are the bomb. They have 90s Spice Girl written all over them!

Left: Cosmic Sabbath Dress $89 (aprox £56) Right: Petals and Peacocks sweater $48 (aprox £31)

Disko top $40 (aprox £25.50)
