Movie suggestion: Cracks (2009)

Outside-Inside

Outside the sun shines
like the calm before the storm
everything is in its place
or is it really?
facades can only cover
just so long what is beneath
when a picture falls
protective glass cracks
hearts will weep when broken

~Lorraine Stark

First, please watch the trailer here. The film is a beauty to behold -

the costuming is gorgeous and hearkens back to the classy days of old.

How I wish I had lived then sometimes.

"Cracks" is about Fiamma, a Spanish Catholic girl who is new to the

elite boarding school in England. Miss G is the diving coach for the

young women, and has a secret that has yet to be completely exposed.

To sum it up... as the movie tag line goes...

"Innocence isn't lost. It's taken."

I highly recommend watching the movie at the least -- the plot is simple,

yet intriguing. And to the untrained eye, at least, it is filmed beautifully.

cause i'll tell you everything about being free

today was beautiful. gorgeous. wonderful. amazing.

why?

because i got all of my work done for class and i participated and paid attention.
because i wore my Wall-e pajamas to class and people loved it.
because i got in a great discourse in my writing class, which i have previously been absolutely terrified in.
because it was sunny and glorious.
because i get to go play volleyball soon.
because my professors are pretty awesome...
and my advisor is even more awesome.

*sigh*

y'know -- i'm just gonna try to be happy and be me today.

life is beautiful!

Summer makes me smile

wow. i just discovered Etsy (as i just stated in my post below) and I went crazy! I shopped for things under $10, and I ended up buying quite a bit of stuff -- all so summery and happy and bright! I can't wait to get them all!

Polka Dot Culottes

I love these! The high waist is my favorite part -- how breezy and easy these culottes look -- perfect for Pittsburgh in the summer!

Vintage Model's Coat Cute Duster with Apple Print

this dress really stuck out to me -- so bright and colorful! in the past i've been known to be very color-shy and print-phobic, so i love that i'm finally breaking out of that!

Vintage Smart Sally's School Smock

I just thought this was too adorable -- and i just couldn't help but picture myself in it with some leggings or shorts, jumping around.

Too Cute Rainbow 70s Mini Tent Dress

So, getting away from that whole color-phobic thing -- I bought this "too cute" dress. i love that it has pockets and that i can wear it with or without a belt. Unfortunately, the wonderful yellow belt and the owl pendant aren't included. :( they go so perfectly! guess i'll need to find something that fits my own style to go with it. :)

Vintage Vending Machine Pepsi and 7up Necklaces

when i saw these i knew i had to get them -- i only wish there had been three instead of two. sweet :)

and... i didn't get this from Etsy but off ebay -- and i love it.
way to tie my vintage love to my faith!

Virgin Mary Jesus Bottle Cap Necklace Art Catholic

So i am going to see (500) Days of Summer tonight -- for the second time (yes i already stated this in my prior post today, i know). The sad part is i have nothing particularly cute to wear tonight. I am going to watch a movie with my fashion inspiration as the leading lady -- and I have nothing Zooey-esque to wear! What a crime!!

anyway...

I just can't wait to go back to Pittsburgh at this point -- i have so much planned for when i get back! <3
