I recently rewatched this movie after agesssss! I think the title is a bit misleading because it's not a bit morbid. A chick flick and an oldie, but a goodie (: If you want a laugh or like some romance, watch this.
First heard this song when Sam Tsui covered it (He is amazing, must go check him out). This song is a great song (:
TV
The Great Gatsby (2013)
Finally got a chance to watch this on the last day of school with my friends! I actually had to study the novel (by F.Scott Fitzgerald) for my IGCSEs last year - which was a pain analysing it - so it was interesting to see how they interpreted the story. It was rather exciting since after analysing it, I knew all the symbolic references and even remembered the prominent quotes! :D
I thought the casting was quite good. Daisy (Carey Mulligan), Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), Tom, Myrtle and Nick Carraway was all how I imagined them to be! But I've always seen Wilson as being much older and Jordan with longer hair.
All in all, considering it was a portrayal of a classic 1920 novel, it kept as close to the story as possible, the music (although some were a bit out of place), costumes and setting were incredible. Highly recommend it!
I'm really loving the band 'Imagine Dragons' right now & I think that they should be given more credit in the music industry. It's Time is probably my favourite song out of the bunch and my friends and I are attempting to do this song in Battle of the Bands this year!
TV/ The Big Screen
Pretty Little Liars - Season 4
I've read the books a longgg time ago & although the tv series have little to no relations to the book... it's still super interesting and dramatic. I've been waiting forever for Season 4 to begin and the first episode came out this week (June 11)! (: The first episode was a perfect starter and some questions were answered. I love watching this show because it's relatable yet surreal - can't wait to see what will happen this season!

A fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog (: I believe this blog was the first ever one that I followed and sort of inspired me to start this blog. Check it out because there are tons of good reads (:
I've decided to showcase my favourite finds in the media industry every week (: Without further ado:
Music
Everything Has Changed (Music Video) - Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran
Truth be told, this song was never one of my favourites on her latest album... until now! I LOVE the music video. I find it incredibly adorable, matches the lyrics of the song and I think it even makes it more meaningful (: Watch it!
TV / The Big Screen
After most of the tv series that I've been watching (i.e Glee, How I Met Your Mother, The Carrie Diaries, Once Upon A Time) finished the season finale, I had to find another one! And my friends recommended Modern Family (: I'm still on the first season but I love it so far! I love how they incorporate many different family scenarios which makes it more interesting, relatable and hilarious! It's nothing dramatic but a good watch after a long day (: Plus, one episode is about 20mins which means I won't feel so guilty when I watch one instead of doing my homework :P If you don't watch this yet, give it a go (:
