A Royal Obsession

I swear I wasn't going to wake up to watch The Royal Wedding. But then I just got so excited that when I miraculously awoke at 6:01am, I had to get up.

P.S. It was totally worth it.

Questions with No Answers

Hypothetical situation: A girl is undergoing grueling oral surgery the morning of The Royal Wedding. She plans on DVR-ing the whole thing, having her surgery, and then coming home (highly medicated) to lay around and watch it the rest of the day. Should this fictitious creature watch the marriage of a prince and PRINCESS while wearing this genius Henry Holland T-shirt? If we were talking in terms of dollars, would $66 be too much for her to spend on it?

Just throwing it out there – for a friend, of course.

Bill Cunningham New York

Even though every fashion blog and their mother (ie. The Sartorialist) has written about the Bill Cunningham documentary, I just saw it tonight, so I feel compelled to say: GO. SEE. IT.

Mr. Cunningham is basically the nicest man living in New York City. And the movie reminded me why I love talking to old people: they have incredible stories and genius bits of life advice. It's really a gem.

Sandal Season

Summer's coming! I can feel it. My feet are pleading for some new shoes, so of course every day I leave work with about ten tabs open to variations on the brown leather sandal. They all look so similar, yet I stare at them repeatedly every day hoping one pair will just jump into a UPS box and mail itself to me.

Everyone's a Critic

Netflix was just down for at least 2 hours, and I almost died of boredom. Apparently, I watch movies on the internet ALL THE TIME. (I caught up on blog reading, if you're curious about how I spent that time.) Last weekend I watched three movies in one day (plus a couple TV shows). That has to be a record for me.

Here's how I viewed them (ha!):

The Lincoln Lawyer
Fast-paced courtroom drama featuring a lawyer who knows how to work the means streets of L.A. The plot was somewhat predictable, but it had enough surprises (and good actors) that I was completely entertained. The audience at AMC 34th St. left something to be desired (two snorers and women expressing their fear during tense scenes).
Letter Grade: B+

 Inception
I know, I know – everyone already saw this in theaters millions of years ago. But I refused to see it at the time (hype annoys me), and I swore it would be the perfect at-home movie. Well, I was right! Our TV measures up at 30-something inches, so I wasn't overwhelmed by any special effects or booming sound editing. I focused on the storyline, and it was pretty interesting (apart from the whole dead wife thing). Usually I do other things when I watch movies (read magazines, blog), but this one really held my attention.
Letter Grade: A-

The Buck List
This movie got terrible reviews, and I can see why. But on the other hand, I knew what I was getting into, and I actually enjoyed it. My favorite part was Jack Nicholson commenting on Morgan Freeman's freckles. It was cute. Old-person cute. And I love old people.
Letter Grade: B

Skinny Cargos

My favorite new pants: gray, skinny-fit cargos from Uniqlo. Best part: they were only $30 on special.

Yesterday I saw Susie Bubble wears them with a orange collar. I wear them with a big ol' sequin heart from Ban.do.

Open Spaces

Maybe I've just been living in cramped apartments for too long (5 consecutive years and counting), but this Eero Saarinen-design house in Indiana looks like an absolute dream.
