Loving me some...

Here's another example of an unexpected store that has several pieces jumping onto my wish list: Express! They've just rolled out their spring collection and I was surrounded by bright colors the moment I walked through their doors. Not only am I tempted by these green pants, raspberry pencil skirt, and purple and teal wedges, but each of these pieces comes in a variety of colors too. How's a girl to choose?

If you were like me and wrote Express off as a shopping destination of your past, give them a second chance this season and we'll shake these winter blues yet!

Bueller...Bueller...Bueller...

Not since this have I laughed so much at a Super Bowl commercial. This was a purposefully leaked ad that will run on Sunday during the big game but it has me smiling from ear to ear right now. 
If you've ever talked movies with me, or sent me an email, you know I have a love for Mr. Ferris Bueller and his amazing day off. Since I was 13 my non-blog email address has had the word Ferris in it. I can't seem to let it go! I can quote the movie line for line, I can tell you fun facts about the filming of the movie, I've owned it on VHS, DVD, and BluRay, and it is my number one, all time favorite movie. 
No truer words were spoken: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it." 

Friday Flick Picks

I bet you guys thought I had stopped seeing movies seeing as I haven't had a Flick Picks post in 2 weeks! In addition to the three movies above, I also re-watched some old and new favorites too: Breakfast at Tiffany's, Moneyball, and Midnight in Paris. And I'm sad to report that the old movies far out shined the ones I've never seen. Well that's not entirely fair; Jackie Brown was pretty entertaining. Tinker Tailor bored me to tears; I paid attention to the entire movie and still don't know what it was about! Jane Eyre didn't do much for me either. Jackie Brown is an excellent crime drama executed in perfect Tarantino style. If you haven't seen it I really suggest you give it a watch you'll be surprised.

I have to say right now in the movie world is my favorite time. We are in the thick of award season. Globes are behind us to set the tone for the trophies, Oscar nominations are out, and SAGs are this weekend. Now is the time to play catch up on all the movies that are getting some buzz and I am so excited that The Artist has come to Lexington and I have plans to see it tonight!
