the illusionist

Tonight I finally, finally bought my own copy of The Illusionist.

It is my absolute favorite movie of all time.

Every time I watch it I'm just blown away by how beautiful it is.

"What do you want?"
"Nothing."

"Then why are you doing this?"

"To be with her."

“From the moment we enter this life we are in the flow of it. We measure it and we mock it, but we cannot defy it. We cannot even speed it up or slow it down. Or can we? Have we not each experienced the sensation that a beautiful moment seemed to pass too quickly, and wished that we could make it linger? Or felt time slow on a dull day, and wished that we could speed things up a bit?”

The love scene from The Illusionist is by far the most beautiful one in any movie, anywhere, at any time.  
There's no explicit nudity (amazingly) but you probably shouldn't watch it at work.  
Your computer might explode from the perfection of it.








I almost didn't post this because this movie is so special to me and so close to my heart that I had a moment of wanting to keep it hidden.  But it's too perfect not to share.

If you've seen The Illusionist-- what did you think of it?

once upon a time

Hello lovelies!

Please pardon the silence here in blog-land for the past few days, my wonderful best friend Marissa was up for the weekend and we were busy having lots of fun.

One of the things we were busy doing was watching Once Upon a Time.  I had never seen it before and I.  Am.  Obsessed.

Snow White is my favorite based purely on how adorable her hair and clothing are.

Her real-world alter ego is Mary Margaret, who wears a lot of super-cute outfits.

I think my reaction to Mary Margaret's apartment was to grab Marissa's arm and shriek "OH MY GOSH I NEED IT I NEED IT RIGHT NOW!"

(...I really do need it though.)

So now I'm completely hooked on the show.  Anyone else watch it?  Who's your favorite character?

I'm having a 20% off sale over at Julie Rose Sews on Etsy!  Just enter the code 'SENIORCOLLECTION' at checkout.

It comes out on DVD tomorrow and I can't wait to get it within the next few days.  I'm hoping for a good amount of behind-the-scenes content because the film is so visually stunning that I would loooove to see how it came together.
