To bang or not to bang

It seems that recently everyone is getting themselves some bangs! Two of my friends got them and i loved it! It got me thinking, maybe i should do it. It would be a new look for me since i never take risks with my hair. I really like the blunt bangs and the side swept bangs, but I don't know if it would suit me, so I'm kind of confused! I mean they are very fashionable right now and they seem to be so versatile, but i feel like it would take me extra time to fix my hair and i really don't like spending much time doing that.. i feel like they're so summery and with summer coming up maybe i should just go for it!

Some celebrities working the bold blunt bangs:




















Rashida Jones




















Jessica Alba




















Leighton Meester


Side-swept bangs:



















Keira Knightly





















Helena Christensen




















Cameron Diaz

Movies wardrobe

This weekend I managed to watch two recent movies which were set in the late 1920s and the late 1930s.

Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie, is a movie based on a true story set in Los Angeles in the 1920s. It is about a mother who loses her son and is on a quest to find him.
Australia, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, is the other movie I watched which was set in the late 1930s right before World War II.

Lots of people told me to watch these movies, claiming that they are really good. I liked them but was not crazy about them. What I really liked about these movies though is the wardrobe. I absolutely loved the outfits Angelina wore in Changeling. It seemed to be a perfect reflection of that period of time. I'm not really a big fan of Angelina Jolie, especially since she started dating Brad Pitt, but I must say she looked absolutely gorgeous in this movie. I loved her sultry look...the short hair and the red lips... very mesmerizing. The movie's stylist, Deborah Hopper paid attention to every little detail. She researched the real-life character in news footage and tried to recreate the 1920's fashion.








< Love her hair, lipstick and the coat w/the brooch!



Anglina was also a fan of this style. “There is something about the style of the '20s that is very sweet. They make you feel a little softer and just so delicate hidden behind it all." Well put Jolie, that’s exactly what I feel. They look oh-so-delicate! She even looked gorgeous in the movie's premiere in New York. Dressed in a little black dress, it was her first red carpet event since having her twins.



On the other hand, Australia had an amazing wardrobe too. Lady Sarah Ashley, a British aristocrat, decides to leave to Australia after not hearing from her husband for a while... only to find him killed. She then runs his farm and finds love. What caught my eye in this movie is the classy hats, umbrellas and Lady Sarah's luggage! Her clothes changed from the beginning of the movie to half way through... She transformed from an uptight and tailored aristocrat to more relaxed cattle rancher in a plain shirt and pants. The costume director, Catherine Martin, investigated designers around that period of time, she studied what British women wore then and she was also inspired by the sportswear of the 30s. Nicole Kidman looked impeccable in a plaid buttoned down shirt, brown pants, knee high boots and a cowboy hat. It looked so effortless complimenting her soft face and the character she played in this movie. Catherine Martin has done a good job!



**Absolutely love her luggage, hat, chic suit and that big umbrella!

Entering the blogsphere!

I am a 19 year old Bahraini girl who loves this tiny island to death! I'm currently in school studying business. My latest battle with insomnia led to this new habit of reading blogs. I would spend hours reading blog after blog after blog. I enjoyed reading all those love stories people share, the latest fashion trends and just random thoughts.

That is when i decided to start my own blog. I will blog about anything that comes to mind, and hopefully this would turn out to be interesting and i wont run out of things to write about ;p .
