I saw this movie. And I liked it.

Birthday Countdown

As requested by a few, and through my own materialism, I am going to count down to my birthday by sharing an object or two I have on my wish-list. (How terrible am I?!)

** Note: if any one thinks I am a selfish, consumerist pig, just know this is a WISH-list emphasis on the wish. I do not expect any of these things to magically arrive on my doorstep for my birthday. I won't even be disappointed if they don't. I just like sharing current lusts. **

One Week

7 beautiful days.

168 hours.

10,080 minutes.

604,800 seconds... give or take.

Just a few last moments until Paris.

No Sleep? Really?

Ugh, I can't sleep. It's so annoying. I feel tired. I yawn. I just can't sleep. I've been trying for over two hours. I finally just got sick of it, and decided to do something with my life... or at least something to distract me.

blah.

Two Weeks

I go to Paris in two weeks.

Fritz and Flickr

Meet Fritz: my brand new, Canon Rebel XS D-SLR camera. (Yes, his name is Fritz. Swanky, huh?)



Say "Hello," Fritz.
You can see all, or most, of Fritz' work online at my flickr account. Visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/greywall/ to look at my pictures.

Only one album up, but don't worry: more to come.

Resist

My sister, Laura, introduced me to the wonderful life of "Wishpot." It's so easy to add things to my wishlists now, that I spend most of my spare time doing that. Bad use of time, but OH SO addicting.

Also, now I really want to buy things. All sorts of things. Everything that I can get my hands on.

Must resist using credit card. Must resist feeling that getting packages in the post is a necessity. RESIST.

Here's something I'm having a hard time resisting:



$48 from anthropologie.

i really want it.

Chanel?

So, I am not the type of person who loves big name designers. I don't obsess over having a designer bag, or designer glasses, or anything. But I do love these shots from Chanel's Spring-Summer 2009 line. If I wore designer, I would want to own these beautiful looks. They are melancholy, which after seeing the Coco Avant Chanel, I really appreciate.

Enjoy.

Coco Avant Chanel

I would like to start out by saying that I just adore Audrey Tatou! She is just such an amazing actress. Also, I adore Coco Chanel's sense of fashion. Every outfit she wore, I wanted. Especially her fisherman inspired top. Yum!

The story was incredibly sad, but then again, most geniuses' stories are sad: Vincent Van Gogh, John Constable, Nick Drake, etc. The movie seemed real, though. Some biographical movies don't seem all that real. But this did. I loved how cynical she was, but then how she became so happy because of her love for "Boy." I didn't think he was especially cute, but I loved their relationship: how he wasn't ashamed of her, when they'd quote philosophers, ect. It was sweet.

All in all, I liked the movie. A lot. I'll probably buy it when it comes out, and add it to my "Beautiful Memoirs" collection. (which is currently Miss. Potter and Finding Neverland.)
