Blackboard Walls

So I recently watched the movie (500) days of Summer, (which was really good), but the thing that struck me the most? The blackboard wall in his bedroom. Such a cool idea! Even better if you're good at drawing:

So now I am going to Spain armed with some blackboard paint of my very own.... I can't wait to see what we can come up with!

The Black Swan

I re-watched The Black Swan again last night. I think this film seriously has one of the best ever wardrobes. It makes me wish I could dance like that! Natalie Portman looks stunning in this film:




The costumes, designed by Amy Westcott, and a collaboration with Rodarte designers, Laura and Kate Mulleavy, are the perfect aesthetic accompaniment to the visual richness of the film.







I seem to love outfits in monochrome. The contrast between the white and black in the psychological thriller was used for symbolism, but other movies employ a similar colour palette, like Angelina Jolie's classic elegance in The Tourist:





But you need to be in an equally elegant city to be able to wear these outfits daily!
