Assassination of Jesse James

So my friend took me vintage shopping :) Although I hardly bought anything, i was quite impressed... there was a huge vintage shop and thrift market, i found most things were to big but i found this pink and white tye dye top, I haven't worn pink and white so I wasn't sure about it, but it was just £4! and no doubt it will look great with some shorts in the summer! Its my first tye dye buy! haha i'm not a big fan of the trend and the only items I like are simple with not such a big pattern so this was perfect! I also wasn't sure about the gypsy type ruffled sleeves... but recently I have noticed more tops like this in the shops... god I wore 100s of gypsy tops when I was like 10! haha

The second isn't thrifted lol! Its £9.99 from H&M and I love the grey/black/navy floral pattern on it.. but it doesn't fit right at all... something i've noticed with H&M cardigans, they only look good if you button them up and they seem to have like a gap for big boobs! Which is unneeded in my case!

The Assassination of Jesse James I watched this film last night because after seeing Casey Afleck's nomination clip at the Oscars I thought he looked quite impressive... plus Brad Pitt is always good! :) Being a 2 and a half hour film its natural for me to get a bit bored an confused after the first half, I think the hardest part was working out who was who and stuff.. but I always kind of knew what was going on which was a good thing... not so confusing. I think some of the film was unnecessary and just confused me lol but i'd say the last hour was fantastic! I mean... nothing amazingly shocking happened at the end... it just generally a great ending! & I think Casey Affleck was amazing! I'm going to start rating films so id give this a B+

Cruel Intentions yeah its and old film but one I've always wanted to watch because I love Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe is amazingly hot! I thought it was good... in some ways weird... i know that they are just step brother and sister I just still think there relationship was weird lol... and one minute Sebastian is a total jerk 2 seconds later he's in love and nice n sweet!... that part confused me lol apart from that i really enjoyed the film!  C+

I know I gave Jesse James a better rating than Cruel Intentions... i probably wont ever watch Jesse James again but then id like to watch Cruel Intentions again... if that makes sense.

Oh and Im going to read a book I always try and read books but I never finish them... unless there autobiographys... i love them lol. Well Ive just orderd Jarhead a story of a marine in the gulf war, Im not a big fan of war films... so on but I enjoyed the film so much I wanted to find out more... anyone else read it?

I love the H&M cardi you've thrifted!

I also watched Jesse James... but I gave up after one hour because it was really boring in the beginning and I was sleepy... I also had problems with the "who is who"

MMM, I love that cardigan. I might fly over there and steal it. :P

Olivia said...

I am so, so jealous of your cardigan. And that pink tye-dye top is actually cute. I agree, I haven't been a huge fan of the trend lately, but that is a really nice top.

alexgirl said...

I haven't watched Jesse James yet either, because its so long! I know that's the worst reason ever, but I get A.D.D. sometimes. Oh, and I love Cruel Intentions. Yes, it's weird, but it's kind of awesome. I haven't seen it in ages.
I love your new shirts, too!

Katelin said...

Unknown said...

thanks adele
love the second top!

Jill said...

Trying out the tie dye I see, oh if only summer would get here. I used to wear peasant tops as a kid too!

Aisha said...

lovely buys :)

Romany said...

Cute tops - defs give pink and white a go, it's a combination that you probably have to be in the mood for, but a cute one. ;)
Hmm, I never particularly wanted to see the Assassination of Jesse James because it didn't look like my kind of movie, and I guess a B+ isn't going to make me rush out and see a film. Lol!
Cruel Intentions is such a great movie, don't you think? Sure it's totally creepy, but there's just something about it! ;)
I saw Jarhead...Jake was hot but it wasn't anything particularly ground-breaking - but then again, I'm not much into war films either, but you should give it a go anyway... you might like it...? :)

I really like both of your picks! I am not a huge tye dye fan but i like that one, and you're right, it'll look great with shorts.
I LOOOVE Cruel Intentions, it's one of my favourite films, I've seen it a zillion times!

haha i love the tie-dye and gypsy trends! i used to wear them when i was little too, but now i simply wear them again! :)

Kayleigh said...

Jesse James was an awesome film, I was on Team Casey for the Oscars, he was mesmerising. I've been a fan of him for years and am so glad he's getting recognition.

Sarah Mendelsohn said...

Secret Agent said...

Cruel Intentions is a dirty movie. I watched it when I was so young...and seeing all that sex and Selma Blair and Sarah Michelle Gellar make out... Wow.
