If you want me to do more of these 'tumblings' let me know.

Update :)

I'm hopefully going to a local-ish antique store this weekend. I'm planning on doing a few OOTDs whilst I'm there. I intend on making a post about all I get there as well. I also plan on posting a bit about some tumblr post I've found interesting this week. I have a lot of plans for this blog, and I can't wait to get everything up and running. Let me know if there is anything specifically you'd like to see!

Stu Sutcliffe, and Dying

Hello again...
So I've known about Stuart Sutcliffe and his story for ages.Recently I've been getting back into learning about him and his untimely death. So the other day whilst watching videos on Youtube as you do I stumbled upon 4-5 part documentary called Stuart Sutcliffe: The Lost Beatle, so of course i watched all of the parts. Oh my God, i was mess! Crying, rather balling my eyes over this man I had never met. Maybe I was crying for him but more likely for my self. I guess I was thinking that Stu died at 21. He was a beautiful young talented man with a fiancé and a future a head of him. He died. young. too young. And I'm sitting here, a blob procrastinating my course work, not knowing at all where I'm going in life. Why did he have to die. I shouldn't really even be that sad about it, i mean i don't know him, i am not in any way related to him. It was sort of a reality check, you never know when you could go. Life is to quick. As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans". If you died tomorrow would you be satisfied with how you've lived your life? I wouldn't be. I really wouldn't. I spend my days at school, doing school work, on the internet, or sleeping. When will my life begin?

I promise next time I write It'll be happier. Promise

Here are some pictures of the lovely Stuart Sutcliffe!



















Isn't he just beautiful!!

Stu with young George Harrison and John Lennon.

















Stu with his fiancé Astrid. They are so cute. Such a great and tragic love story! If you ever get a chance to look it up or watch the documentary I mentioned above, please do! It's worth knowing.

So... erm... this is my first post

So, erm.. This is my first post. Yayyyy *confetti and balloons fall from the ceiling*. I've thought about making a blog for ages and tonight I just thought, what the hell, why not? To be honest, i'm not really sure how to use this website. Considering, this blog will probably be a hot mess for a few months until I get everything figured out. For now you can find my on Twitter @ohheyitsAshleyD or on Tumblr @ lipstick-and-bowties.tumblr.com. I'm not really even sure what I'm going to post about, my life isn't that interesting to be honest.
Farewell for now
