Midnight and Paris

Ok so I know this may be a little late to the game...BUT...this movie was hands down one of my favorite Woody Allen films, and that is saying alot because I am a HUGE  Woody fan. Watching this film almost transports you to 1060s Paris and if you weren't already in love with the city of lights you will be its biggest fan hands down afterwards. I'm a sucker for films with a nostalgic feel to them, and any film to do with Paris in particular. In fact this movie takes me back to one of my OTHER favorite films about 1960s Paris as well by the name of "The Dreamers" (another must see!!!!!)

I do feel Woody likes to cast himself as the lead in every movie (the intellectual almost looney character with die hard convictions) but it is a formula that has worked for him and I cannot get enough. Rachel McAdams really blew me away as the antagonist, I usually always love her and side with whatever character she plays, but this time she really makes you hate her, lol. Well played McAdams! If you haven't already seen this movie I highly recommend you do yourself a favor and do so now. Im sure it is still playing at some theatres here and there. I meant to blog about this weeks ago but got all wrapped up in the wren photoshoots we've been doing for the holiday and s/s 2012 line. But this movie has not left my mind since seeing it. I definitely will be grabbing it on dvd as soon as possible.

Here are some pictures I had lying around my hard drive that just take me back to that special place in my heart and in my head that i can only call Paris for right meow:

That's it for now kiddies, hopefully this post helps you get through the rest of your Thursday. Nothing like a little mid day inspiration, the weekend is right around the corner! Everyone enjoy yourselves and this lovely day, till next time my dears.

ONE MORE FOR THE FLOCK

Heres the newest member to be added to the Wren crew. Everyone meet Krystle, a recent LA transplate who hails from the breezybay area, land of good times and steep sidewalks. I bumped into this girl at opening ceremony the same week I met her, so i already fully approve of her LA habits and whereabouts. I like the energy she brings into the wren studio and her playlists she plays for us are catchy and I am constantly asking her which bands sing which songs. :)

Favorite Color: currently, it's white. i'm digging the crispness of the color.

Go To Restaurant: haven't ventured too much in LA yet, but i went to barragan's last week on monday for $1 tacos, and they were delicious. oh, and the vietnamese crepes at pho cafe are amazing as well.

Favorite Piece from the Wren Closet: the leopard coat! ah-mazing!

Plans After Summer: new york! as much as LA has its redeeming qualities, i refuse to spend half my life in traffic.
