*rude awakening*

"...there’s no real difference between a fortune teller or a fortune cookie and any of the organized religions. They’re all equally valid or invalid, really. And equally helpful.”


Haha, I usually don't pay much attention to what Woody Allen has to say, but this excerpt from this interview totally caught my eye because it was almost exactly what I had been thinking about a few days ago. 

Q. The ideas of psychic powers and past lives, or at least people who believe in them, are central to your latest film. What got you interested in writing about them?

A. I was interested in the concept of faith in something. This sounds so bleak when I say it, but we need some delusions to keep us going. And the people who successfully delude themselves seem happier than the people who can’t. I’ve known people who have put their faith in religion and in fortune tellers. So it occurred to me that that was a good character for a movie: a woman who everything had failed for her, and all of a sudden, it turned out that a woman telling her fortune was helping her. The problem is, eventually, she’s in for a rude awakening.


and for something a bit more fun...


I'm not really a Vera Wang girl, but I love these two pieces from her new Spring collection! 

I love that distressed biker ballerina rock princess thing going on in this look. the bouffant is definitely the winning touch.
