SUMMER MOVIE RUNDOWN
Even though we still have two weeks of school looming, summer movie season has officially started (and for the rest of the world, it actually is summer, so perhaps this makes sense). Summer movies are the best, and this year’s lineup will make them even better.
A SOUNDTRACK GREATER THAN GATSBY
Jay-Z, Beyonce, Fergie, Lana Del Ray, will.i.am., Florence + The Machine, Emelie Sandé, Gotye, Jack White, and Sia – certainly the only thing that could possibly improve The Great Gatsby soundtrack would be Leonardo DiCaprio crooning a love song directly for me.
NETFLIX, FOR WHEN YOU’VE CEASED TO CARE
Lately, it seems as though a lot of my posts have been about what to do when you’re feeling distracted or don’t want to do work, which is all the time, really. Luckily, we’re at that perfect point in the quarter where you have just a little bit of leeway to slack off, and this...
GET CAREY MULLIGAN’S GREAT GATSBY LOOK
Even since I saw the first preview for the Great Gatsby, I’ve been counting down the days until May 10th. Parties, romance, gorgeous clothes, an incredible soundtrack and Leonardo DiCaprio...what more could you want? The chance to experience one of Gatsby’s legendary parties yourself, obviously.
TRAILER MIX: BETTER THAN DOING NOTHING
One of my favorite hobbies when I’m bored (read: trying hard not to do work) is trolling the Apple Trailers website. Maybe that’s a sad thing to admit, but I think it’s a lot more productive than a whole lot of other things I could be doing (read: nothing).
ICON: GOLDIE HAWN IN “HOUSESITTER”
Housesitter, an early ‘90s movie starring Steve Martin, Goldie Hawn and hijinks galore, is a fantastic movie, in no small part due to Goldie Hawn’s wardrobe. She plays the original, original manic pixie girl, dancing down a path of lies to get wherever she wants to go, and so completely charming that it skews romantic...
OSCARS STYLE CALLOUT: SEYFRIED AND WATTS
You know what really sucks? Having no time to watch The Oscars. Scratch that—having no time to watch the Red Carpet Show sucks. Let’s be honest: about 25% of the excitement behind the Oscars is waiting to see which of your favorite stars dress with class or just look like straight up trash. There’s that...
CURLY HAIR AND THE PROFESSIONAL DEBATE
Boy Meets World’s Topanga Lawrence, The Princess Diaries’ Mia Thermopolis and Zero Dark Thirty’s Maya. What do these characters have in common? For one, they’re all smart, accomplished women. For another, they’ve all had to sacrifice their originally curly, wavy, dare I say bodacious hair in order to fit the standard for ‘serious women’ perpetuated...
SURI’S BURN BOOK
Ever since Gretchen Wieners held that pink book covered in lipstick prints and cutout letters in Mean Girls, the idea of a “Burn Book” became as famous as the line “You go, Glen Coco!” Although it’s been 8 years since the movie premiered (crazy, right?), the “Burn Book” concept has recently become popularized again...
FILM REVIEW: THIS MEANS WAR
This Means War is by no means a critically acclaimed movie. The plot is predictable, the script is cheesy, and the action scenes are ridiculous. And yet, I loved it anyway. At its core, This Means War is a story about two CIA agents (and best friends), who fall in love with the same...
BEAUTY HOW-TO: AUDREY HEPBURN
They say fashion never dies, and beauty is the same: it is a constant cycle of renewal. So when someone shows up on the scene who takes a look, reinvents it a little and makes it her own, she is remembered. I can’t think of a woman more widely respected in this regard than Audrey...
EMMA STONE’S STAR STYLE
It seems like just yesterday I crammed into the back of a movie theater during my sophomore year of high school and laughed at Emma Stone’s awkward yet undeniably charming portrayal of a not-so-typical sorority sister in The House Bunny. The same actress who I used to refer to as “that girl with the...
