Anna Karenina

Allo!  Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and didn't forget to "Fall Back".  It was actually kind of nice to have that extra hour.  I made it to the gym!!  As usual, I will not enjoy the early darkness..but I will get used to it.   It's just a bit blah when you are at work all day and then it's dark when you get home.  It definitely doesn't help me get motivated to do anything.  Ugh....I will have to find a way!  Anyways, Although I've been excited for the newest Bond movie and having a "Bondathon" all week, the movie "Anna Karenina", has caught my eye and I really do want to see it!!  I think the reasons are obvious.  It's based on a novel by Tolstoy.   It's a story of forbidden love; Anna Karenina's with the Count Vronsky (she's married), is the main story.   It also has political undertones based on Tolstoy's  views of  Russia at that time.   I usually read the book before the movie but lately I have a hard enough time sitting down to read a magazine.  We will see.  Hope you all have a wonderful week:)

The Camelia Poudre necklace worth 800,000 british pounds! Chanel loaned this amazing necklace and 18k gold, diamonds and pearls.
This necklace is amazing.  I nearly melted when I first saw it...not only is it gorgeous, it's by Chanel.  They've always had such fabulous accessories.

I am completely in love with the wardrobe....it's period and lovely.   The clothing was inspired by 50's designers such as Dior and Balenciaga...amazing.

Keira Knightley chooses such great movies to be in.  She gets to play dress up and wear all those lovely garments.
