Pretty In Pink

Liu Wen and Hyoni Kang. Phillip Lim Spring 09. Two of my favourite models of 2008

Hat Hatred

UGG Ultra Aviator Leather Trim Hat

What were they thinking when they made this hat? The style is perfectly good, in fact I have a hat like this only covered in lots of fur (from H&M). What really annoys me is how the front part is so slow and on most people would cover their eyes. It costs £120. Who would pay that much for a hat like this, I'm not actually an UGG hater. I own a pair of the classics in chesnut and they keep my feet toasty and I try and refrain from wearing them unless my feet really need the warmth. But seriously, the hat costs more than the boots.

I have no idea why this hat angered me so much.

I Think You Lost It In The Hollywood Hills

Hilary Duff 10th November - Just Jared

I've never had a set opinion on Hilary's style. Her fashion is normally on trend and I have to say that I'm often jealous of what she wears. However, I think her good girl attitude means that she can never totally pull off a lot of looks. The over-sized knitwear is awesome. I bought something similar from Primark a couple of weeks ago. My favourite part of the outfit is her boots. I've been looking for fringe boots everywhere but I can't afford any of them. The cheapest so far have been from Zara but they don't fit the shape of my feet well. The only thing which ruins this outfit is her bag. Does anyone know who it's by? Personally, I think it's really unattractive and I don't like the shape either.

Winter Is Eating My Money

ASOS is my favourite high-street online website. I'm still too poor to afford all the clothes on their but the clearance section is always reasonable and some items are worth the price. I love the Jackets/Coats/Blazers. I already have my essential winter coat and really can't afford another but it's nice to browse.

Asos Zip Front Cocoon Coat

I love the zip detail and the over-sized collar. And the fact that it has pockets is extra yay.

ASOS Bow Back Full Pleat Hem Mac

Might not be able to see the front but the colour is beautiful and the pleats and bow make it so feminine. Kind of reminds me of Gossip Girl even though it's in the style of Kate Moss.

Gestuz Tuxedo Tail Jacket

So simple and well cut. I don't think I'd wear this much because it wouldn't compliment my style but it's beautiful.

Pepe Wool Rib Leather Gilet

Lots of people I know have finally jumped onto the leather jacket trend so now I don't look so unique. I must have this in my life it will fit in perfectly to my winter wardrobe.

If What You Are Is A Daydream

Am I the only one who is in love with Taylor Swift. She's got an amazing voice and she is just so damn beautiful. She really makes me hate having straight hair. Her curls just always look so natural and dreamy. My hair just hangs all akwardly and it generally causes me a lot of grief. Her fashion isn't elabrote or anything, mostly just floaty dresses but they suit her figure and music perfectly.

Stars Shine Brighter When We're Together

Zachary Quinto for Star Trek. He looks interesting and I'm sure he'll play his part well but I won't be seeing the film - at least not in the cinemas. Never watched Star Trek in my life and I often find it hard to see actors from my favorite TV shows/Movies as other characters. Maybe one I'll flick through the movie to check that Zach is as awesome as he should be.

Cheesy Movies That Rock

Last Wednesday all my favourite comics came out but I've only managed to see scans so my reviews will have to wait.

In other news, Camp Rock came in the U.K. on Friday. So I headed around to my friend's house, grabbed some popcorn and got comfy - ready to watch it. Within the first five minutes, I was hiding behind my cushion cringing but that was to be expected because the movie is made by Disney.

I like Demi Lovato's voice and her acting was good considering the fact that Camp Rock was one of her first big projects. Her character Mitchie was slightly annoying but she was realistic which I find is one of the most important things for a character to be.

The rest of the cast were pretty decent. I loved the actress who plays Ella - Anna Maria Perez de Tagle (long name!), and I never knew that she had such an amazing voice. I nearly fell off the bed when I saw how much Alyson Stoner had changed. Her facial features were recognizable but she really has matured. The actress who played Tess annoyed the hell out of me but I think that was the point.

One of the main let-downs of the film was the length (only an hour and a half) and the fact that the Jonas Brothers were barely in it. Okay, Joe was the lead male character but Kevin and Nick probably only had 5 minutes screen time. I only wanted to watch the movie for them so that was a real let-down.

There's not much to say about the plot because it's pretty simple: girl goes to camp, lies to become popular, meets boy, lies to him as well, everyone finds out that girl has been lying, boy and girl fight, girl is upset, all is resolved, girl and boy get together. Everything was predictable but it's meant to be a children's movie so a complicated plot is out of the question.

In conclusion, the movie rocked. The soundtacks were catchy, the cast was above average and it was a generally entertaining film. I'll definitely be wanting to watch Camp Rock 2.

Homework calls to me, I'll review more another day.

Villains Are Just Falling Heroes

I considered doing an introduction post but I decided that after a couple of posts, my interests will be known so what's the point really.

I found these scans about an hour ago:

I find lolcats one of the most amusing and annoying creations ever but this has to be the best thing ever. The art is actually really good as well, I'm definitely going to find more of this webcomic.

I wasn't buying any comics this week I don't think but I read several interesting scans:

Okay, so the Supergirl comic is still a waste of space but I do find that Supergirl is a role model for girls my age. She screws up a lot but she acts her age most of the time which I find rare in comics. This issue was slightly strange as I'm positive that Empress and Supergirl haven't met, and Empress hasn't been in comics for years so why suddenly plonk her in now? The art is very nice although Supergirl looks slightly too skinny and her breasts seem too big. Her hair is very realistic and makes me want to be blonde.

So, I know like none of the Secret Six but there was quite a lot of hype about the comic coming out so I figured that I'd give it a read and I'm glad that I did. Scandal is just so awesome. Might start buying this and I'm going to try and learn more about the characters

So this was another R.I.P. tie-in. I have no idea how it was part of the plot but I LOVED this issue. The whole part with Alfred brought me to tears. I really hope that Alfred doesn't die in R.I.P. because he is the most caring, amazing character in the DC Universe. Dick's hair really didn't make him look as attractive as usual but the plot made me forget about the art mostly.

So Detective Comics mainly featured catwoman. I was so shocked and surprised by this issue that I don't even know whether I like it. If they don't destroy Selina as a character then I'm happy but this issue doesn't really show how this is going to affect her.
