I'm sure you've seen the movie The Princess Bride at some point in your life, right? (If you haven't, why not? Go rent it tonight!)  It is a movie that, in my opinion, still holds up to the test of time, and is fabulous and funny.  Well, according to this story, they are remaking it.  This type of thing usually doesn't bother me.  Remakes happen.  But this one actually bothers me!  I don't care if it does have the lovable Paul Rudd and an Oscar-nominated director.  Some movies really should be left alone, and I think this one falls into that category. Now I know how all those people feel about the other remakes Hollywood has been churning out.

Movie Monday: Marie Antoinette

I love this movie.  Not because it is particularly good, but because I love the look of it.  I also love the use of the 80s music as a soundtrack.  And also because I have a slight crush on this guy...

I don't even want to hear you say anything negative about Jason.

On to the costumes!

Love this look.  But that's probably cause I've always wanted to go to a masquerade ball.

I'm including this one, just cause it made me laugh a little.  If Steve Jobs had been around in the late 1700s...

Movie Monday: Alice in Wonderland

I decided to cover Alice in Wonderland this week.  I love the costumes in this movie.  I'm not 100% positive, but I believe it won the Oscar for costume design.  All the costumes were so unique, and a perfect fit for the characters, but I especially loved the dresses designed for Alice.

This first dress isn't my favorite of them all, but I love the added touch of the lace gloves.

This last dress is probably my favorite...

The Duchess

Last night I watched The Duchess.  It was an ok movie, though it wasn't really what I was expecting.  I was expecting something a little more light-hearted I guess, but this one was a little bit of a downer.  Visually though, I loved it.  I guess I'm a sucker for period pieces because of the costumes, ect.  The sets and costumes are always so extravagant and beautiful.  I think it would be fun to be an actress for the costumes alone sometimes ha ha.  Though, I'm sure that although these dresses are amazing to look at, they are probably not very comfortable to wear.

Movie Monday: Atonement

So I thought I would introduce a new weekly feature here on the blog.  Movie Monday.  I'll be highlighting some of the fashion from various movies.  Maybe just one look, maybe a few.  We'll see.  Back when I was looking for green clothes for the St. Patrick's Day post, I came across a picture from the movie Atonement.  I have always thought this dress was amazing, and wished that I could not only own it, but have an actual reason to wear it out.

Love it.  That last one can be a wallpaper, if you so wish.
