Blue Velvet.
Howl. This one actually sounds good.
Holy Rollers.
Blue Velvet.
The Freebie.
No idea if any of these are good, but I like their winter garb. And I like the idea of all these Hollywooders going to Park City, Utah and freezing.

Back to the land of hidden true beauty. I'll be spending my time searching for it.

Grey Gardens.
Relating to a single episode of Gilmore Girls.
And since you have no idea which episode this is, I took the liberty to look it up. Thank Gilmore-ism.com for that.
They were watching Grey Gardens before Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange redid it. And it was inspiring.
Little Edie: You can't have your cake and eat it, too in life.
Big Edie: Oh, yes, I did. I did, I had my cake, loved it, masticated it, chewed it and had everything I wanted.
Little Edie: I can't get the thumbtack in the wall. I have the saddest life.

Love triangle.
Please excuse my nerdiness coming out, but I'm looking forward to the last season of Lost with bittersweet thoughts. The brilliant plot line with intense relationship dynamics will, sadly, be over, but hopefully the multitude of cliff-hanger questions will be answered.
Like, what on earth is up with Christian Shephard? He's supposed to be dead.
Where did Claire go and what has she been doing all this time?
Did Faraday's insane plan work? And what will happen to all of the survivors if it did? Will all of the people who have so tragically died (Charlie, Libby, Faraday, Boone) be alive?
Who's the bad guy, Ben or Widmore?
Who's the ultimate bad guy, Jacob or whoever took over Locke's body?
And of course, what will happen between Jack, Kate, and Sawyer? To tell you truth, all of these characters lost some of my proverbial respect over the past seasons and I think they all deserve each other for that reason, but if I had to pick I would choose Jack and Kate simply because these pictures are really adorable.

Playing dress up.
I don't know why I don't wear more daily dresses. I'm being inspired to do just that.

Tea is wise.
Wisdom Tea House is one of my favorite places in Monument, Colorado. It's located in downtown Monument near some cute mom-and-pop shops. On a cold wintry day like today, it's perfect for cuddling up on one of the vintage couches with some tulsi herbal chai and a good book. It's also my favorite place to catch up with dear friends! Mmmm. Tea is wise.

The Shop Around the Corner
Classic. Adorably sweet. Witty. Fashionable. Oddly exotic. James Stewart. Highly recommended.
Prince of Thieves.
I was skeptical of the new Robin Hood movie coming out this year, but the trailers make it look way more epic than expected. Very Gladiator-esque thanks to Russell Crowe.
I'm excited!
