♥ Du Jour




Frankie Magazine: magazines usually served only one purpose for me: to flip through backwards, stopping only to glance at something if it interested me, reading a few paragraphs of articles until I grew bored, and to look at the pretty ads and the editorials. But then I found frankie. Yes, it's spelt with a small 'F'. I knew that frankie had been around for a while, but I never really bothered to go through it properly. Fate, (no actually, boredom), eventually led me to the magazine, and before I knew it, I fell completely and utterly in love with frankie. The editorials aren't fantastic, but the words! MY GOD, THE WORDS!! All the articles are completely amazing and hilarious and quirky, and GENIUS. ABSOLUTE GENIUS. I love frankie.

The Other Boleyn Girl: Nobody really knows how much I love time pieces, or historic movies. I guess that's because all my other favourite genre of movies are Romance, Chick Flicks, and movies involving a lot of dancing. But I guess that deep inside me somewhere, is a geek. Because I really am a sucker for historic movies. And the Other Boleyn Girl is just that. It's so suspenseful and romantic, but evil. Natalie Portman in the movie is so evil and cunning and conniving. It's terrific.

Flipping through old photos: I love that warm fuzzy feeling I get from flipping through old photos. I guess its a combination of happiness, nostalgia and regret. You may think that old photos only really show physical changes. That is kind of true- I was going through all the photos of my friends, taken within the last 4 years, and it amazes me to see how our young, excited faces have changed so much. But it's not just physical. People's personality or social changes are shown, in the way they dress, the way they do their hair, the way they hold themselves. I see people growing more confident and happy, and others more mature, understanding, or perhaps burdened.

Jaffas: I really do hate oranges, but for some unexplainable reason, I completely love Jaffas. You can eat them in many different ways, and it'll still feel like heaven in your mouth. My favourite ways of eating Jaffas? I either chew it (not exactly good for your teeth, I dont recommend this), and let the hard sugary shell mix with the fruity-chocolatey inside, or I just let it sit on my tongue and melt. Then the hard outside slowly disintegrates and the warm gooey inside melts and oozes out. I'm making myself hungry, I should stop.

Emily Blunt: She played the evil snobby assistant in The Devil Wears Prada. which I watched a while ago but I didn't really think much of her performance in that. But I recently watched The Jane Austen Book Club in which she stars as a troubled French teacher, who has a stupid Neanderthal of a husband, and whom she strains to live with, as she falls in love with one of her students.
