The Tourist



If you're looking for a movie with beautiful people, costumes, and scenery, the Tourist is a delight. Starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, the film is set in Venice and filmed like a 1950s classic, old school. Jolie plays a mysterious English beauty in love with a thief. With the hopes of reuniting with her lover, a game of hide and seek begins where the audience is unaware of her lover's identity. In her elegance and splendor, she attracts an unsuspecting, spy novel reading American (Depp) who becomes entangled in her dangerous game involving gangsters, Scotland Yard, and the Italian Police. Destined to be a classic like "To Catch a Thief," it'll keep you star-struck, laughing and guessing until the very end.

Jolie's wardrobe alone is a subject of awe. All of her pieces were created by Oscar winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for Little Women, Chicago, and Alice & Wonderland, amongst others. Every outfit Jolie dons is sublime, whether a ball gown or day dress. Re-creating the styles of the 1950s, she wears nude Salvatore Ferragamo pumps, opera gloves, a fur capalet, large post earrings, and something similar to this satin evening gown. Although all of these items are decidedly expensive, there are many ways to emulate her style for a fraction of the cost. These nude pumps, vintage inspired posts, and this beautiful evening gown are classy additions to any wardrobe that wouldn't cost a production budget to buy. Happy viewing!

"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point." - C.S. Lewis

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled
(By E. E. Cummings) Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond Any experience, your eyes have their silence: In your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, Or which I cannot touch because they are too near Your slightest look easily will unclose me Though I have closed myself as fingers, You open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens (Touching skillfully, mysteriously)her first rose Or if your wish be to close me, I and My life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly, As when the heart of this flower imagines The snow carefully everywhere descending; Nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals The power of your intense fragility: whose texture Compels me with the color of its countries, Rendering death and forever with each breathing (I do not know what it is about you that closes And opens; only something in me understands The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
