Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann - The Pirates of the Caribbean

The daughter of Governor Weatherby Swann, Elizabeth has been fascinated with pirates since childhood. During the Black Pearl's attack on Port Royal, she gives her name as Turner and is mistaken for "Bootstrap" Bill's child. She also is in love with Will Turner. Elizabeth abandons the "damsel in distress" image and in time her personality changes to that of a noble pirate.

Movies:

- Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: (2003)
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: (2006)
- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End: (2007)

Maurie & Eve Autumn 2012

Spent the whole weekend packing and then finally moving out yesterday. I am SO pooped.
So...the Maurie & Eve Autumn 2012 collection has been doing the blog rounds lately, I think everyone is pretty ecstatic about those pants in the first picture! Hopefully they're silk. So Céline!

Best & Worst Dressed of the SAG Awards

Last evening was the SAG Awards. Were you watching? I have to admit, overall the looks on the red carpet were really fantastic. I thought that the majority of celebrities stepped it up from the Golden Globes a few weeks ago. At the Golden Globes it seemed as though everyone was either in nude or black...and at last night's SAG Awards a lot more color was worn which made me smile.

BEST DRESSED

Michelle Williams looked so lovely in red. Simple yet totally chic. She was my favorite of the evening.

Emily Blunt's dress was a show stopper. On TV it looked more lime in color than it does here in this photo. I love it either way.

Diane Lane was a dream in this blue one shoulder number. She kept her hair up in a simple ponytail. Supposedly it was rather warm in LA yesterday...so being comfortable was key!

WORST DRESSED

Amber Heard (who I'm still not sure who she is...but here she looks so much like Scarlett Johansson) looks like she ran into Edward Scissorhands on the way to the red carpet. I'm fine with cut-outs...but this was just too much. Can we say overkill?

Rose Byrne...where do I begin? Let me start out with a compliment: I love her hair! Now, on to the jumpsuit. When they were initially interviewing her they just showed the top portion of her outfit and I thought she looked really cute...and then they scrolled down. It's like she raided Elvis's closet. 

I really hate it when bad fashion happens to good people. Kristen Wiig...what the heck are you wearing? The color and style of the dress aren't terrible. I do wish that the waist was higher and not dropped like this. It just makes her look dumpy. My biggest issue (what makes her my worst dressed of the night) is that she is wearing a halter and a big ugly choker. Kristen, take note: you do not wear a fat choker (or really any necklace like that) with a halter style dress. NEVER.

Who made your best and worst dressed lists of the SAG Awards? Do you agree with my list?

What They Should Be Wearing- SAG Awards

I love awards season! To me nothing is better than watching my favorite celebrities strut their stuff down the red carpet while wearing a fabulous gown. The other week I watched the Golden Globes and thought most of the celebs looked okay...but some of them just looked like they were playing it safe. I'm super excited to see what they will be wearing to the Oscars. But I'm getting ahead of myself. This Sunday is the SAG Awards and I'm spending my Friday evening thinking of what my favorite actresses will be wearing should be wearing.

Sofia Vergara's curves would look amazing in this Zac Posen gown.

I would love to see Kaley Cuoco in a bold color to keep her look young and fun. This Christian Dior dress would be fantastic on her.

This red Elie Saab gown would be perfection on Julie Bowen. I think it would look so great with her blonde hair.

The vintage feel to this Reem Acra would be so beautiful on Michelle Williams.

Emma Stone would look breathtaking in this Badgley Mischka gown. 

What do you think of my picks? What do you hope your favorite actresses wear?

Don't forget to join the red carpet hangout going on via Google+ on Sunday.

korres & cupcakes

Source: my own

This is the first time I'm trying out something by make-up label Korres, the Lip Butter Glaze in Jasmine is the most wonderful buttery nude ever. I have a hard time finding nude products that sit well with my skin tone so I think this is it! Very moisturizing so it gets double the points and I heartily recommend it!

Yesterday I ended up going to Itaewon and popping into Life Is Just A Cup Of Cake to try out a cupcake. I always try the Red Velvet (that is if they make that kind) when I find a new place and judge from there. You're probably thinking that I should probably rename this blog Fashion Cupcakes or something I know since I talk about them so much. I am a little too enthusiastic about making/eating them but seriously those little things are just a passion of mine.

So...cake thoughts.... for starters, the price is around 4,800 Korean Won (which is like 4.50-5 bucks??!) for a decidedly midget-sized cupcake. In my opinion it was too crumbly (I usually like mine extra moist) and I don't like to waste bread...however the cream cheese frosting was really good so a major save there. The cafe is literally tiny- if I step on my tippy-toes I can touch the ceiling and let me tell ya I'm a shorty. I think the cafe has somewhat of a cult following though, the lady behind me bought 28 to go and ended up forking over at least $120 and literally cleared the trays.

Anyhow, it's not bad so make sure to pop by if you're ever in Seoul.

Monica Bellucci as Persephone - Matrix

Monica Bellucci as Persephone - Matrix

In the movies The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, Persephone (Monica Bellucci) is the wife of The Merovingian.

In The Matrix Reloaded, Persephone is attracted to Neo and offers to help him if he kisses her with the same passion with which he has kissed Trinity. Reluctantly, he complies and she helps him free the Keymaker. Later, she kills one of her husband's employees.

In The Matrix Revolutions, Persephone warns The Merovingian that Trinity would indeed kill everyone in Club Hel to free Neo from the Train Station, simply because she is in love. This suggests that Persephone perceives and understands love, and may be disheartened by the cynicism of her husband, who seems to be driven solely by greed and lust.

Monica Bellucci as Persephone Hot Bust

Monica Bellucci as Persephone Hot Bust: In addition to the realism that has become Gentle Giant’s hallmark, extra care has been taken with this 7-inch piece in the area of paint application. The texture and finish of her bright red latex costume, with the green luminous patterns of the Matrix over-printed in 3-D, create an exotic bust that will satisfy the most discriminating collector.

I find myself wandering around the streets of HongDae a lot lately. Loads of interesting shops, quaint little cafes & winding lanes choc-a-bloc full of inspiration and dreams. Maybe I'll take my camera with me today and take some photos for you. It snowed yesterday so I'm sure the streets are even prettier.
