Alexander McQueen Dress

This entire dress by Alexander McQueen is covered with pheasant feathers which I thought was not only super creative but very high end fashion. I mean it looks like somebody from the Capitol (The Hunger Games) would wear this dress. Nonetheless it looks gorgeous!


































Check this website for full details on the dress!

Yummy Wontons!

It had definitely been a while since I had wontons. So when I had wontons at my friends house last week, I totally pigged out!


Doesn't that look just divine? Crispy yumminess in all its glory! Check out the full recipe and videp on how to make wontons here!

The Monkey Man

If you've ever read The Kite Runner, you'd remember the monkey man that Hassan refers to in the letter that Amir reads out. Today, I came across this picture, and it reminded me so much of that moment!

"There is still a monkey man in Shar-e Nau and if we run into him, I pay him to make his monkey dance for Sohrab. You should see how he laughs!"   ~From The Kite Runner                                                                                                      

Les Misérables Trailer

Hi everyone! Please check out the trailer for "Les Misérables" here! Not only does it look fantastic, but I think we need to bring a LOT of tissues to the theatre. It's going epic, but super emotional.
  

If you don't know already Les Misérables is one of the greatest novels/classics of all time. It's written by the French novelist Victor Hugo. The movie is starring Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne and Helena Bonham Carter. What a cast, huh? Directed by Academy award winning director Tom Hooper for "The king's Speech" this movie definitely looks promising. I'm going to feature this book as Book of the Week closer to its release, and do a detailed analysis/review. So don't forget to read/reread it with me later in the year!

Christophe Willem - Berlin (French Song)

It's amazing how much information you retain from your high school courses! I still remember remember all the movies that we watched in French class! Not too much French music though, except for this song! There's just something so catchy about it! Even though I don't understand all the words, I just love this song! Check it out!
Check out Christophe Willem's other songs on YouTube! He is amazing!

Chinese Lanterns

You'll come to know I love a lot of things and love learning about different cultures! And have a lot of weird fetishes too! One such is Chinese Paper lanterns!





















They are just so pretty to look at! And they glow different colors! And they float! Would love to go to a Chinese Lantern Festival someday! Wouldn't you? Gif credit goes to brooklynew!

JenLawrence Gifs!

Oh, puh-leeeez! With your archery skills now, I think you would definitely last more than five minutes, Jen! Me on the other hand would probably get blasted of the platform before I even get a chance to enter the arena!



P.S. We love you Jen! You're too perfect even if you have a meltdown! Thanks to fearthewinter!
