Girl on fire

This is what I wore to see The Hunger Games on Saturday. I thought a red dress was fitting, but not over the top obsessive fan girling. I found this mink pink dress brand new with tags for just $10 (the original tag read $80).

Now why couldn't all movies adapted from books I love be like that. Minor adjustments that really add to your understanding as a viewer not a reader, character features like hair colour and clothing style adhered to and beautiful casting. Except for Donald Sutherland, even as an evil person I just can't help but like Donald Sutherland.

Also, today is my sister's eighteenth birthday. A scary thought, though it's only going to get scarier as my other two sisters hit the milestone.

Fit for a Princess

When I was a little girl I lived for Disney movies.

So when I saw the Disney Couture range on ASOS I quite literally died.

They're very reasonably priced to boot. I will have that necklace if I have to sell my poison apple and pawn my glass coffin. See the whole collection here.

New Directions

A lot of change has been happening lately. This along with a slew of other reasons has prompted me to once again voyage into the world of blogging.

I begin with my outfit for my first viewing of the final instalment of the Harry Potter films. I read the first book when I was 7 (I am now nearly 20) and I think it was one of the first books that triggered what I hope will be a life long love affair with the written word. In my mind the books will always prevail over the movies, yet I am still beyond excited for the last movie and await with baited breath the opening of Pottermore.

Alas, I could not scrounge up a costume and would probably exceeded my limits for making a fool of myself in public as I am not going to the midnight session. However the owl seemed a suitable discreet homage.

pretty much a lazy day today before i have to work, the delights of a saturday night at a fast food restauraunt. kids movies are the order of the day. i just finished watching percy jackson and the lightening thief for the third time in as many days. dare i say it is nearly as good as harry potter? i must get my hands on the books. next up is the universal version of peter pan which makes me want to stay a child forever.

i also turned my hand to some crafting today. some of the buttons i bought off ebay are now proudly attatched to a hair comb. i need to start some more projects because i am becoming a little bored.

and of course, what im wearing

blazer, pearls, top - op shop, skirt - mink pink, socks - gift from mother dearest
