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.

Weekly Favourite!

Hey Everyone!

Today sees the beginning of a new post series/ category woop woop! I have been thinking lately that I'd like to have a post (more frequent than my instagram one) to give updates as well as tell you what I've been loving (or obsessing over if you will) that week whether it be a makeup product or a song.

This weeks favourite is the film 'Les Misérables'. I went to see it last night and oh my, I've never cried so much at a movie in my life (yep, that includes Marley and Me and Titanic- which is saying something!) It was truly epic and up there with the best movies I have ever seen. I would never have thought I'd have enjoyed a film that's whole script is sung, but I did! There was not one part I thought could have been done better. I came out of the hall with the biggest panda eyes you ever did see (They're Real mascara didn't fare too well with tears to say the least). I'm going to see it again, this time with my mum, on Friday and until then I will be mentally building myself up for the roller-coaster again haha! The casting was amazing and it was so compelling.

I would definitely 100% recommend that you go and see it if you haven't already! 

What have you been loving this week?
