Bored to Excitement!

OMG....just got the first 3 episodes of this little gem in my hot little hands! With a cast featuring Jason Schwartzman (sigh!), Ted Danson, Olivia Thirby which also guest stars Parker Posey....died and gone to heaven! I think Bored to Death will be a new fave!!!! I'll let you know...has anyone seen any episodes yet...thoughts?

Soda-pop and Corn-dogs!

Seriously, Adventureland is one of the funniest movies I've seen this year. Big call, I know but it has everything I look for in a movie. Quirky characters- tick, cute geek-chic boys-tick, teen angst-tick, laugh out loud line-tick! Not to mention its set in the 1980's -though cleverly done and v. subtle! I completely endorse this film, ha-ha!

It was directed by Greg Mottola who was behind Superbad which I thought that was pretty funny, too. I think it has a Freak and Geek flavour and it was funny to see a grown up 'Bill' (played by Martin Starr) in Adventureland, he is hilarious!

I also formed a little crush on the Jesse Eisenberg, too. He is my new Hollywood hottie! Tee hee! It had the most limited release and I can't figure out why, we had to trek to Readings to see but boy, was it worth it! Oh, it was so whimsical and nostalgic!

Smitten-Mitten

I was snooping round the lovely Chasing Lou blog this afternoon (as I am waiting for cocktail hour to arrive!) and discovered these outrageous but totally super-cool gloves by designer Anna-Sara Davik. And now I want to make a pair because I'm pretty sure they would cost an arm and a leg (and maybe a hand too...haha). I'm thinking I might find a pair of vintage gloves and get crafty. Man, my DIY list is growing v. v. long....

Don't you think they would look smashing whilst drinking my Friday night cocktail? On that note-have a lovely weekend!

you really gotta hold on me

So we have developed an unhealthy obsession with Zooey Deschanel and M. Wards duo She & Him. Kitty wants to marry M.Ward and I want to be Zooey! Their album is on constant rotation in the shop and I am still not sick of it so it must be love! How amazing is she live?!

Kitty found this super-cute clip filmed by two girls "Olivia K + Mary C" dancing to Lykke Li sweet song, I can't help wishing I was twirling in a vintage frock! They haven't made any others but I think they should!

I still love Roisin Murphy's clip "You know me better" it came out last year but it made me want to embrace the ruffle corsage and tulle hats. I actually remember reading that you can make them out of those fluffy bath sponges. I should find that magazine and maybe do a DIY project! Happy weekend! xxx
