The Tourist

Having just watched The Tourist, all I can say is poor movie, but some nice outfits and locations.  I am ofcourse referring to Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie's new film. With 3 Golden Globe nominations I was quite disappointed. The backdrop of Venice was beautiful, and myself having visited recently it was nice to see all the sites again. And it has to be said Angelina did look rather spectacular in some 1950's inspired outfits, nipped in waists and elbow length gloves.
  But in general I would say the plot is very easy to guess, and when you do realise the ending...it sort of spoils the whole film.  It's worth a watch if you have nothing else planned. But I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

Lolita Darling










Betsey Johnson, Chanel, Karen Walker, Luella, Marc Jacobs, Milly, Mochino Cheap and Chic and Peter Som all channelled the 1950's cutesy fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2010. High waisted shorts, hair accessories- predominately big bows a la Sarah from A little Princess and girly prints are must-buys. Think Lolita or Lolita. In fact a good person to look to for inspiration...although many will "pfft" at  this is Katy Perry, who is often seen in 50's-esque playsuits and vintage looking outfits (including her 'Thinking of you' music video.)
