Wish List | Films

one. two. three. four. five. six. seven.

One: I am really into horrifically ugly cardigans, and this one hits the nail on the head for me I think! It comes in a few different colors, but I thought this pale cream was the best (though the pink did catch my fancy...) - however at €85.00 I think this item will forever just stay on a 'wish' list!

Two: Mmmmm, overly expensive floral patterned dresses. My favorite part about this dress is the stitching around the neck, and the colors. Very summery but I think with the right thermal leggings and a cute scarf, it could be teamed up to be a very cute wintry outfit. €55.00 is a fair price to pay in my opinion - it really is beautiful!

Three: No words needed for these beauts. They are perfect. I am not sure how much they cost, nor do I want to know haha! Hope I can find a pair of boots similar to these at some point, they're really perfect.

Four: Really cute tights! They have the same but with moons on them - but I picked these for how thick they are! At £10.00 they're a little too pricey for basic tights - but they're dead cute so, who knows, maybe I'll buy em!

Five + Six + Seven: Models Own nail polish - Magenta Divine + Disco Mix + Matt Black! Lots of people have recommended me these and they REALLY are so beautiful! They're each only £5 and I'm actually thinking of spending some of my Christmas money on them, they really are quite stunning! I'll probably do some swatches/reviews if I do end up getting them! :)





So a vague outline of things going on in my life. At the moment I'm making my monthly 'Five Films I need to watch' list that I've planned to set myself throughout the year, the films are as follows:

1. Green Hornet - I'm actually going to go see this in Paris at the English cinema when it comes out next week! I am EXCEEDINGLY excited. I love Seth Rogen and I'm pretty sure the film is going to be absolutely epic. Been waiting a long time for this one, pretty psyched!
2. Platoon 
3. The Breakfast Club - My friend Cal recommended that I watched this one, so I am gonna be checking it out!
4. Masterminds - Okay so this is a tricky one. The only real reason I want to see it, is because of the fact it has Vincent Kartheiser (Peter Campbell from Mad Men) in it, playing a 'rebellious teenage boy'. The problem is that this film is ridiculously hard to find, and was one of the worst selling films of 1997 (making a whopping £76 - yes, £76 - in the U.K.) however I am going to make it my mission for not only this month, but the whole of 2011 to track this film down and watch it. I'll even review it for this very blog. What a glorious crapfest that is gonna be!
5. American Graffiti

So, at the end of this month I'll do a review on all five films (four, if I can't find Masterminds) and tell you what I think!

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and not feeling too cold! I'm going to go watch my brand new Apocalypse Now DVD and drink some tea! <3 xxxx

Future Waste

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;
only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.

Welcome!

So, first post! Hello and welcome to my new sanctuary. An abyss of nice and not nice things. I've wanted to start a real blog for a very long time, but was never really sure if anybody would be interested. I tried tumblr for a while - but found the competition for popularity grating and slightly unnerving - so here I am! A new slate!  I plan to post lots of things here, and hope that you will find these things interesting.

To start off, I guess I should give a run down of what I intend to write and post here!

Obviously - for those of you who know me - there will be a lot of film related posts. Film is a huge part of my life and I think it would be fun to be able to constantly ramble on about it. From reviews, to my own projects, to lists of films I like, to lists of films I don't like. I am gonna cover it all!

I'm also hoping to do a few fashion and music posts too - I hope to address any sort of 'popular culture' medium, and possibly show you guys what I've been finding interesting lately, and some of my favorite 'trends' (See: Anti-Trends!). I will also be posting mixtapes and reviews and all that crap.

Besides all your usual blog-like stuff, I also intend to post lots of interesting articles and art I find, photography and graphic design I've been enjoying, and snippets of poetry and creative writing. I am going to try and keep this place as organized and balanced as possible, with posts of my own creations, to posts of others creations! You can think of it as a massive inspiration blog.

If you are looking to hear the more personal and intimate details of my life, check out my livejournal! Otherwise, I hope you enjoy my blog :) xx
