Current Obsession: The Great Gatsby

Hey Everyone!

Its been a while hasn't it? My bad- I'm so super busy with school at the mo- my first exam is in 3 weeks (ermygawd!). 

Remember in a Sunday Post a while ago I mentioned my huge excitement for The Great Gatsby film? Well my obsession has boiled over into life-consuming so I thought I'd share a little of my anticipation for the movie with you. 

I think its going to be one of my favourite films ever. It has all the ingredients: extravagance, amazing fashion and an incredible soundtrack. Oh and did I mention Leonardo DiCaprio? 

This is the sample soundtrack. I particularly love 'Love Is Blindness', 'Young and Beautiful' and 'Over The Love' (cannot stop listening to that!) What's your favourite? I love how Jay Z (executive producer!) has taken contemporary songs and adapted them to the Jazz Age. Who knew Crazy In Love would be so amazing 1920s style?

Finally, being typical 'me', I've created a board of Pinterest: 1920s/ Gatsby inspired. Here are a few of my favourite pins.

Can I just be a flapper already? & don't you think Carey Mulligan is so cute and doll-like?

So that just about rounds up my Gatsby gushing. Please let me know how excited you are for (what I think will be) the movie of the summer.

Hey Everyone!

My Life

Well its official- my 'mock'/practice/ back up exams have begun. Eeek! Maths was first on Friday and English is tomorrow! I've spent the whole week in the library- I've barely saw the light of day! On the bright side, on Friday I (perhaps stupidly) decided to have the afternoon and night off. I sorted through makeup, watched Pretty Little Liars (has anyone been watching- ITS AMAZING!) and caught up on YouTube.

Weekly Favourite

So, for my English course this year we are studying The Great Gatsby and with a few exceptions, I have never loved a book more. I think you get so much more out of a book when you study it! I cannot even explain my excitement for this film. There are two trailers out and I know pretty much all the words of haha! Watch them and feel the anticipation! Random but yep, I thought I'd share my huge love and excitement for The Great Gatsby.

How has your week been?

Celebrate | Happy Diamond Jubilee!

Hey Everyone!

A very quick post today just to mark The Queen's Diamond Jubilee!  I personally haven't celebrated it in a big way, though I think its a lovely excuse to drink tea, eat cakes and watch TV all day! I really enjoy watching the coverage- its weird seeing history unfold before your eyes. Oh and has everyone seen Fearne Cotton on BBC1? She's looking very prim and proper for the occasion- I'm loving her cute little coat! And I also get to admire the gorgeous Kate Middleton and drool over  er I mean appropriately stare, in a completely non-obsessional way, at Prince Harry. I also love how events like this unite the whole country and everyone is part of the celebrations.

So what have you all been doing to celebrate the day?
