MELANCHOLY SKY ♥

Two lovelies I received in the post, I had to add them to my Kirsten Dunst collection. I've wanted to see Melancholia on blu ray for so long and I'm now re-reading The Virgin Suicides, such a beautiful book ♥

last days of summer ♥ ♥ ♥

it seems like summer is leaving us sort of one day at a time, the days are getting less hazy and have more of a chill, i've found myself pulling out flannel shirts from the depths of my wardrobes and hastily shoving on socks in the middle of the night. so i wanted to do a post all about the loveliness of summer, late summer and things that remind me of it & to sort of hold on to it for as long as i can before transcending into the prettiness of autumn, which i love don't get me wrong but am i ready to swap Pimm's for hot chocolate, to trade thin floral tea dresses for peter pan collar wool ones? (i could live with that, probably) i don't know yet.
films
the virgin suicides
marie antoinette
things i like about summer
floral scented hot afternoon baths
braided hair
sandals
ice lollies
open windows
bare feet and summer dresses
sunriseshazy gardensthe feel of a soft blanket on grass

a wise spend ♥

I finally ordered this this afternoon, so it should be on it's way soon! I have yet to the read the book, so I'm not sure which way round to watch them. I started Virgin Suicides before I watched the film and loved it, but gave in because the film is just so beautiful ♥

what to do, what to do?

I have decided I'd love to do my negotiated project on The Virgin Suicides book by Jeffrey Eugenides ♥ Another beautiful book I'd love to do a fictional cover for is Wuthering Heights ♥

but let's forget all that now- it's my beautiful sister's eighteenth birthday- I'm gonna go & celebrate! ♥
