I have been feeling the urge to watch a lot of French or French inspired films lately. One of the DVDs I picked up was Le Scaphandre et le Papillon or The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Directed by Julian Schnabel, it tells the story of Jean-Do Bauby - the editor of French Elle - [...]
I am having my hair cut tonight at my beloved Blaze, and sought inspiration. I found it in the gorgeous Jean Seberg, who has rocking the blond pixie crop long before any “name” models. Casually cool, tousle and go… Sigh, unfortunately this will not work for me, now or in the future, much to my [...]
I love watching films that make me uncomfortable. Cinema of unease that leads to a slight clenching of my jaw as I study the screen. A painful conversation or two that makes me twist my toes into knots as I listen. That was the Squid and the Whale… a brilliant movie that I waited far [...]
The Ronson family takes on the Tenenbaums courtesy of Harper’s Bazaar. I think it’s brilliant and I only wish there were more pictures to look at!
If you haven’t already, take the time to watch Wes Anderson’s movies; they are screamingly neurotic. The Royal Tenenbaums caused me so much joy I called myself Margot for months [...]
One of my dear friends has just left the country for an extended adventure in Europe. This scene from Alice in Wonderland with the smoking pompous caterpillar reminds me of him (hee in a nice way!) - I hope that he’ll make it to Morocco or Turkey and see grand bazaars full of colourful pipes [...]

Every single Architecture in Helsinki video I’ve seen has been gold, making it hard to choose just one to showcase! However I did manage - the animated embroidery of Like It Or Not really shone and what’s more fitting for today’s crafty times? The video was directed by Josh Louge at Mathematics. I definitely recommend [...]
A video for the song Balloons by UK band Foals. Directed by David Ma. Key elements of aesthetic focus in this video are wall hangings, avian friends and fluttering fingers. I find the hint of a tattoo peeping from the lead singer’s arm is slightly alluring, but hey, maybe that’s just me! I hope you [...]
On the laziest of Sunday afternoons I slipped off to the cinema to see 2 Days in Paris; a Julie Delpy vehicle she wrote, directed, edited and starred in. She even cast her parents in the film, as her character Marion’s parents. The story however was not autobiographical, but a tartly comedic semi-romantic romp through [...]
