What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream?

A photo heavy post of all the things that are inspiring me at the moment.
I saw this idea on Johanna's amazing blog crookedzone and after reading it realised all the things I currently love are the complete opposite of hers.
She is inspired by Johnny Rotten, punk, heroin chic and giant Vivienne Westwood-like red coats at the moment whereas I am obsessed with fairy tales, bows, pastel colours, ballerinas and gowns.
This is what I love most about blogging; being inspired by others and realising what inspires you too.

Other Fancies : When A Gentleman Loves

Before taking leave
a gentleman should kiss his mistress, embrace her and leave gently.
He should never show that he is in haste.
Great care must be given to the smallest matters -
remember love ripens in absence and all quarrels must come to
an amicable arrangement before leave taking.

Aww, Mr. Tyke you are my Lover Man
