Man Candy Monday: Colin Farrell

Oh its been awhile since I've last linked up on the Man Candy Monday from Join The Gossip. But here I am again bringing to you my chosen one this week. The Irish hottie Colin Farrell.

Colin James Farrell... yes! We all know him, one of Hollywood's bad boys, we know his movies both the box-office hits, the bombs, and the in-betweens. We know the sex scandals, the women and even the drug use. He is one of those men you'll think more than once before you introduce to Mom and Dad but someone you'll love to cuddle and would gladly runaway with if he'll ask you. I think his eyes are the ones that got me they are deep and expressive and his mischievous smile that I heart so much. Oh and he's got the swagger. And this man can act too, he is absolutely one versatile actor... he can play lead, support, and even villain. I am so glad that he is making a big comeback these days and that he has lots of big projects in line. And on his soft side, he is reputedly a very loving father and in 2007 was an official games spokesman for the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai, China. Colin Farrell also called for an end to homophobic bullying in a statement he issued to Belong To, an organization for LGBT youth in Ireland, and yes he is quite a poet too. Oh he is truly gush-worthy.

Shabby Chic Country House

This early Georgian country house is so lovely, it also has a coastal beach hut and converted stables. I love its flooring, the flagstone, brick, and wooden floors are all so natural looking and adds so much warmth in this country house. The living room has abundant light and airy. And I love that there are a lot of vintage pieces scattered in this country house. I just love the simplicity of how things are arranged in this shabby chic country house, nothing pretentious at all, so comfortable and easy. I love its outdoor spaces too with its nooks and corners that looks so cozy and its lush green garden.
