  Designgasm: Loving My New Look!

  In keeping with my newfound love for muted palettes and all things vintage, I decided to overhaul the look of this blog (as well as my two other blogs). I knew the last look was already a bit on the retro side, but I’m head over heels in love with the feel of this one. I am especially proud of my new logo, which turned out pretty well despite the earlier versions being a far cry from the final product.

  I haven’t blogged properly in a long while, so I hope that this new blog design will awaken my dormant passion for blogging. I’ve been meaning to post a new WIW (what I wore) post, but it’s either I’m dressed up but I’m too lazy to pose for the camera, or I want to pose but my photographer (a.k.a. Paulie) is feeling lazy.

  Aaanyway. How d’ya like my new look?

  Chick Flicks To Watch: A List

  We have been watching horror movies this past week, and to tell you the truth I’m really glad we’re moving to chick flicks next week for a change. Goodness knows what continued horror movie watching can do to the mind of an already crazy girl. Hee hee. I’ve watched a lot of chick flicks in my time, but there are still a lot of good ones that I haven’t seen, so I am making this list for reference:

  1. Dirty Dancing. I haven’t seen this despite numerous recommendations from friends. What drove me over the edge? I saw that it’s the movie’s 25th anniversary already. That’s enough reason, I think.
  2. Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Another classic that I haven’t watched yet. No time like the present, right?
  3. The Family Stone. We have been enthralled by Rachel McAdams, so why not watch another film which stars one of our favorite Canadian actresses?
  4. Sleeping with the Enemy. We haven’t seen a Julia Roberts movie in a while, so we thought to choose this thriller to mix in with the romantic comedies.
  5. Practical Magic. Roberts is in this list, why shouldn’t Kidman and Bullock be in here as well?
  6. Sliding Doors. This is the first time I heard of this movie, and I’m definitely intrigued by the plot. This will most probably be the first we’ll watch.
  7. Finding Mr. Destiny. It has Gong Yoo in it. Need I say more?
  8. Failure to Launch. Although it rated low on Rotten Tomatoes, I will still watch it if only for Zooey Deschanel’s appearance in the movie.
  9. Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion. Lisa Kudrow FTW!
  10. Just Friends. Time to see Ryan Reynolds in an ungorgeous character (at least at the beginning of the film).

  Wow. That’s just ten movies. I might do a part two when I find the time, or another movie genre, to make things more interesting. We just saw The Five-Year Engagement earlier starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, and it was so goood! You. Must. Watch. It. I especially liked the Winton Childs character. He was just brilliant. The rest of the cast was awesome, as well.

  How about you? Do you have a chick flick that you want to watch that’s not on the list? Care to share what it is?
