Spilled coffee and a pot of oats

No, I'm not being a traveler today. Maybe due to the fact that I've got an exam tomorrow. Or I'm still not in the mood for traveling - a relaxed state of mind is the key to a meaningful trip. Even a random road trip is gonna be disastrous if you're constantly checking your phone/mail/facebook/etc.

And no, I'm not talking about Paris Je t'aime, so you don't have to close the tab. I don't know why, every time I mention the word "Paris" in relation to a movie the people start moaning. If I have to be honest, I haven't watched  Paris Je t'aime yet. I doubt that I'll not like it, though. I must admit that I love watching simple cheesy romantic movies. Recently, I've even been wondering why. Well, the answers is as simple as the questions - because the aim of those movies is to make you believe that no matter how shitty the things look at the moment there will definitely be light at the end of tunnel. You leave the cinema feeling much more relaxed and at the same time excited. And yes, I love this feeling.

Anyway, today's topic wasn't really connected to the romantic movies. I would love to strongly recommend the movie "Paris".Just "Paris" - as simple as it could be. It's from 2008, but I doubt that most of you have already watched it.


If you love the city of Paris, you're gonna definitely love the movie. I, personally, bought the DVD (no, I didn't downloaded, I wanted to have it) only because it's set in Paris and you can just watch it, without really listening(if you know French)/reading (the subtitles) - you won't get bored if you love boulangeries, pattisseries, small French markets for homemade goods and old buildings. According to me, that's the movie that truly captures the Parisian atmosphere - scent, sight, sound.

You might ask - "But what's going on IN the movie?" or "What's the movie ALL about?" Well, you need to watch it. It's one of those movies, where there is much more feeling than storyline. If you like Woody Allen and "Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona" and "Match Point" in particular, you will love that one. It says many things, but at the same time nothing, or at least directly. Basically, Pierre (Romain Duris), a professional player dancer is suddenly diagnosed with a serious heart disease that could cost him his life. Then, he decides to start observing the people from his petite central Parisian terrace. IMPORTANT - Juliet Binoche plays his sister, and she is simply...amazing. No, adorable!

There are many wheels within wheels - Pierre, the single mother (Juliette Binoche), the affair between an university professor and one of his students, and so on. Truly french and truly Parisian.

If you are stuck at home/in the office/wherever, this is a good evening treat until your next city trip to Paris. And as I mentioned earlier, it's gonna make you start thinking about...well this is up to the person.

Probably you have already read the "Me" section and the description of my blog. So..this is my first blog post. I decided to start blogging, because there are many thoughts coming to and going out of my mind in my daily routine. There are many things that I like and I that don't like - thus I want to talk about them (if I have what to say though :))

Fashion Passion. I am not a Shopaholic. Neither am I trying to look alternative/underground/grunge. I just love looking good and leaving an impression. At the same time I love reading about fashion (there will be a separate entry about my favorite fashion branding book)and looking at the pictures in the magazines. I love Chloe, Celine, Lancel and ... LANVIN. I still regret that I did not buy the £300 discounted Lanvin dress in Harrods last summer. I e-mailed both Lanvin and Harrods - Harrods replied saying that they can offer me something from the new collection. It didn't help. I still love that dress. Any help will be appreciated - unfortunately I couldn't even find a picture of it online. Looked at ALL the pictures from the Catwalk shows for the last 3 years - nothing. So - peach/light pink/yellowish ruffle (6-7 cm long ruffles) dress, knee length. Thank YOU! And not to forget one major thing - COCO CHANEL. I truly admire her!

I started learning French, because I wanted to go to Paris one day and be part of the wild fashion industry. Honestly, I love the language, so let's say it's a complex thing.

So fashion, languages,...hm what else? Yes, there are many other things and I will start but by bit. I really hope that from to time you will be finding something relevant and (or) interesting.

So...don't snooze your alarm more than once tomorrow, take 5 minutes to prepare your breakfast and take the other 5 to see what came to my mind when I woke up.

P.S. Don't leave the oat pot unwashed with the thought "I will do this when I come back."
