memorial day was like any other day off for me - house cleaning mostly (blah), but i did take a break to go see woody allen's new film, midnight in paris.
i'll skip the synopsis and try not to spoil any of the film for those who haven't seen it. i really enjoyed the film and there were so many aspects that i loved. the location - paris, france - so beautiful. the opening lines of the film are about how beautiful the city is, and how amazing would paris have been in the 1920s? the lead character, gil (owen wilson), is a writer with nostalgia for the 1920s and is visiting paris with his fiance and her parents. i definitely could identify with gil's nostalgia for the past. the world is such a different place from what it was 100 years ago, it would be such a different experience to live in different age. but i'm sure plenty of people from the past felt the same way.
of course, i couldn't get through the film without noticing the fashion! there were some really great costumes in the film, and i really loved all the 1920s attire - espcially the dresses worn by marion cotillard's character, adriana!

| 1. perfect details art deco earrings (similar) 2. beaded flapper dress 3. t-strap court shoe 4. vintage 1920s kiss lock purse |
rachel mcadam's character, inez, was pretty annoying, but i do have to say she had some pretty cute outfits for roaming around the city of lights.

| 1.platinum tweed jacket (similar) 2. ak anne klein round case leather watch 3. hive & honey lunah wedge 4. mid - rise cigarette leg in dark vintage 5. hi-low square top 6. plaited shopper 7. rope belt, |
so yes, check out the film, check out the fashion, get inspired to re-read some hemingway!
