BABY YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR

  

 

Recently I've begun learning how to drive (finally)and third lesson in I think I've caught the bug.
I don't think you can beat driving down a straight stretch of road, cruising along. It's so 

much fun! And with each lesson I get a little less scared and more confident, and now
I want to drive around everywhere all the time just because it feels so goooood. 

So to honour that, I've found some photos of cars I really love, and trust me, it was 

so hard to pick these out when I just wanted to include every goddam photo!!

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL // WES ANDERSON

Yesterday I went with my family to see the absolutely WONDERFUL 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'

directed by the incredible Wes Anderson who makes every visual deliciously attractive to the eye

and in the most artistic of manners. 

If you're a sucker for aesthetics, this film will hold you in

absolutele bliss for its entire 99 minute duration, and when it comes to an end, it's like waking

up from a dream in the harsh realms of reality. The film is just that stunning. I wanted to 

stay in that magical little beautiful gem of a world that Anderson creates for us.

 And if that wasn't enough, I haven't even started on everything else that contributes to make this 

film easily one of the best I have ever seen.

I was intrigued to watch 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' firstly because of the above theatrical poster
(the power of good advertising), and because two Lit and Drama loving lads in my English class 

(yes they actually exist!) we're raving on about it, with one reason being the fabulously funny 

Bill Murray was in it. And aside from that, there is of course the star studded array of 

truly brilliant acting talent.

Ralph Fiennes dazzles as the extravagant concierge Gustave, newcomer Tony Revolori is glorious 

as young lobby boy and sidekick Zero, Jude Law makes an appearance with his seductive

and unapologetically British accent sounding as gorgeous as ever. And if that wasn't enough, 

you have Saoirse Ronan, Adrien Brody, Lea Seydoux, William Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum

and Tilda Swinton, to name but a few.

It's safe to say Anderson has well and truly plucked the very cream of the acting crop in this film.

And just to rave on about it a little bit more, The Grand Budapest is a real melting pot of different 

genres that are blended together and fantastically interwoven by some amazing writing

and imaginative talent to create a film that is funny, beautiful, gory at times, thrilling, consistently 

stunning, unpredictable in the best way possible and as my dear Dad said with the highest

of respects, 'utterly zany and eccentric'.

And he's right.

This film is not your typical film. It's unapologetically unique and it honestly is true film making

at it's best. It's crafted, acted, produced, written and directed to perfection and is

completely deserving of the 5 stars that are being repeatedly blasted its way.

All I can say is one word: WOW.

And lastly, GO AND SEE IT.

GEEK GLASSES APPRECIATION

What better way to begin a Saturday than a geek glasses appreciation post.

Me think they look rather swanky, if I do say so myself...

   

   

  

  

Have you ever seen a better end to a post than this, seriously?

BEAUTIFUL DAYS

Although today has not been the best day of my life, as it included
getting drenched waiting for the college bus in the rain as it was super mega late,
doing a Biology test and messing up my Biology practical exam because
I am scientifically impaired,  it also involved singing along to the radio
 in my best friend's car after we decided to use another mode of transport,
drying our hair under the hand dryer in the college toilets and the sun has
finally come out.

So right now, if I look out the window, all I can see are gorgeous
bright blue skies, lush green plants in my garden and a big beaming sunshine.
Top that off with the nutella pancakes I had for lunch and what seemed to be
a bad day has now done a u turn, and it is so very beautiful :)

So to celebrate that, I found these photos of beautiful days for you to enjoy
and I made them super large and everything, because you know, it's a good day and
all that.

FEMALE EMPOWERMENT

I don't know about you, but I have these days where I come home and

I just feel a bit deflated or disheartened, for whatever reason.

It's like that core sense of strength has been weakened and it needs 

rebuilding again, or it needs to be revitalised.

And I find that imagining myself as a strong, confident, independent woman
(like that tape Chandler listens to on Friends) normally helps add a spring in

my step and refocuses my thoughts in the right direction.

I hold my head higher, I believe I can do anything and everything, I value

myself in all my perfections and imperfections, I care less about the petty things

and more on the things that really matter, I walk with a purpose, a reason, I embrace

who I am and find I am content with who I am, I have a positive outlook on life. 

I am empowered.

And to all my ladies out there, who sometimes feel the same, these are for you.
