Cloverfield



Schooldays are boring outfit days for me. A pair of jeggings, a warm vintage sweater, menswear inspired boots, my satchel and a trench, doesn't get much simpler than that for me. Not even any mixed prints in sight! I do love the color combo of browns and blues. I wore a very similar outfit (ok the same except for coat and socks) a while ago, so this is another day of me recycling. Hey, we all need to think of the environment, especially with oil prices skyrocketing with all those middle eastern revolutions!

In other news, I just watched Cloverfield. MOVIE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DAY

I didn't expect much of it. Whenever movies get hyped up, I lower my expectations unless I can get their appeal on an intellectual level. This one was hyped. Boy, was this one hyped. But it was on tv tonight, and I didn't have anything better to do, so I gave it a shot! DUDE. INTENSE. I thought I'd hate the jerky cameramovements and to be fair, they did require a bit of getting used to. But the story and the effects are so engaging that you are constantly trying to figure things out along with the characters: what is going on in the distance? What just happened to our friend? Where are those creepy critters now? The messy camerawork TOTALLY contributed to that feeling, and to the overall confusion that such an event would undoubtedly cause. The characters weren't amazing, but the way they ended things with each of them was perfect. I loved how the CGI department found the perfect equilibrium between showing enough of the monster to have us FREAK THE FUCK OUT, and keeping it blurry as to have it be convincingly realistic. It always REALLY bothers me when CGI gets so clean and fluid. Like when you see every tiny hair on a CGI animal shine and move in the wind, unlike NORMAL hair (seriously, if you ever find a styling product that gives me that kind of shine and motion: sign me up). This one did none of that shiz.

It's my new favorite disastermovie!

I saw Inkheart as well, and I found that one thoroughly enjoyable, especially for a kids' movie. Better than The Golden Compass and Narnia (though I might be biased on that account because I LOVED the Narnia books and was majorly let down by the movie), and Paul Bettany RULED. One of the sexiest moviescenes I have ever seen, and in a kids' movie!

  2. Love the outfit! It's not boring :p
    Inkheart was a good movie! But I still love Narnia more...even though they did mess them up. It's just like Harry Potter, I forget about the books when I watch the movies so I can enjoy them...hehe

  11. Hooray for recycling! Hahaha. I love this sweater more every time I see it! And I love your schoolbag too :D
    I don't think I'd be able to handle Cloverfield, I'm probably the most annoying person to watch movies with EVER because I constantly ask whoever I'm with (even if they haven't seen it or if I'm alone) "WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?!" Haha! I might have to check out Inkheart though, Paul Bettany is yummy.

  13. The boots/sweater color combo is perfect, and you just don't wear those jeans enough. I know, I know, you have a million fabulous dresses but those jeans! They are so cute on you!

  14. I totally love Paul Bettany! I've been in love with him since I first saw his naked butt in "A Knight's Tale" :D
    And your outfit is not at all boring, I love the menswear twist in it - shoes, watch - and the satchel is perfection! I need something like that too :) Have a nice day!

  15. I saw Cloverfield just once but it totally catched me. I was never so scared by a disaster movie. I like the special perspective from the "personal" camera..it's a little like Blair Witch Project.

  16. Nog steeds een leuke outfit om naar school te gaan :) Ik was vaak te moe om zelf maar een greintje inspanning te doen om een leuke outfit te bedenken :)

  17. I love this one, the jeans are amazing, they fit you perfectly. The boots look fabulous with this outfit. what I love the most is the sweater, oh I am so much in love with that sweater. Neutral trench always looks good. With a trench you know the winter is over and spring is on his way.

  18. I miss reading your blog. I haven't seen both movies but I agree with what you said about the Narnian movies. I hate how Hollywood murders another literature classic. It was a disappointment, really.

  19. Haha sexiest scene you've ever seen? :D
    I love that you don't bother to show a similar outfit twice! It's refreshing and gives your blog this realistic vibe! THIS is really a fashion diary.
