The Fault in the Stars

Hey Guys,
I take it that all of you know that 'The Fault in our Stars' film is coming out in June and if you didn't, have you been living under a rock?

There was a trailer leak a couple of days ago which I saw before it was taken down from YouTube and the teaser trailer was released yesterday, I think. Anyway today the official trailer was released TODAY!!

I'm also assuming that you'll have read the book, otherwise you probably wouldn't care and I'm pleased to say that John Green announced (tweeted), I can't find the exact quote but it went something like this, 'the majority of the film is exactly what it is like in the book'.

I can't believe that we have to wait until the 6th June to see this, but I'm 100% sure it'll be worth the wait.

Here's the link to the trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ItBvH5J6ss

Song of the Week

Hey Guys,
So you might have noticed from my Frozen post, that I'm a bit obsessed and I've been listening to 'Let it go' on repeat all last week; I absolutely love this song, and know most (not all which annoys Holly) the lyrics. Go give it a listen, the animation video is my favourite but I'll also link Demi Lovato's video.

The Weave Of New And Old

Hey Guys,
On Tumblr earlier I came across these hair details from the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2014 show (perhaps the couture show although I am not entirely sure). I wanted to show you because, as you know, both Daisy and I absolutely love excitingly coloured hair. I thought that the range of hair colours featured in these pictures was really delicate and subtle, and I really admired the way the hair stylists have weaved flowers, leaves and jewellery into the hair.

 

The hair is modern in colour yet the braid has been styled in a classic, traditional way. The incorporation of flowers in hairstyles is also traditional and has been used for hundreds of years. I think the people who worked on this hair in the Dolce & Gabbana Show have done a magnificent job in weaving the old and the new together.

The Little Princess Trust and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity

Hey Guys,

I would like to talk to you about a charity called Little Princess Trust. 

The Little Princess Trust is a charity which provides wigs to boys and girls in the UK and Ireland, who have lost their hair through cancer. To find out more please visit their website, there is also a really touching video that you should definitely watch.

They whole reasons I'm making this post is because Carrie Hope Fletcher, who I'm sure everybody in the UK will know, just made a video on YouTube talking about how she's going to cut off 7-12 inches of her hair off and donate it to Little Princess. 

John Green was the inspiration for her, as the actress, Shailene Woodley, playing Hazel in the film adaptation of 'The Fault in our Stars', cut her hair for the role and donated it to charity which sparked off the campaign #HairForHazel.

Some people might not think that's a big deal, but I love my hair and I couldn't imagine how different I'd feel without it and especially being a teenage, means it's really important. You can donate to Little Princess on their website.

Carrie, however, is obviously donating to Little Princess and has chosen to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. In the past Carrie has done fundraising for GOSHCC before and knows where the money is going first hand. 

You can donate to GOSHCC on her 'Just Giving Website', where you can donate between £2.00 and £100,000. 

I'm ashamed to admit that I have only donated £2.00, it's better than nothing, but I hope in the future when I've grown up from the 'my hair is so important' phase that I could do something like this.

The Couture Shows

Hey Guys,
I was on the Vogue website and saw that they had shared pictures from both the Valentino Couture Show and the Elie Saab Couture Show. I thought that these particular shows were amazing and wanted to share some of the looks with you. (all photos from Vogue)

If only I could afford to buy all these dresses!

Song Of The Week

Hey Guys,
Sorry I am late with my Song Of The Week but here it is. I have chosen 'Diane Young' by Vampire Weekend from their latest album 'Modern Vampires Of The City'. I really love Vampire Weekend and I was really disappointed when I missed their tour in England, hopefully they will come back soon. Their music is really upbeat and different with awesome lyrics, so check them out.

Hmm... I feel a haircut coming on

Hey Guys,
I have quite a short attention span and when it comes to my hair, I am very easily bored. I had long hair for quite a few years but after dip dyeing it and not having it cut enough, it was in awful condition, so I made the decision to have it cut into a bob!
 Lots of people found me cutting my hair off weird because for many girls my age all they want is ridiculously long hair. I personally don't understand this obsession with long hair as I just found it to be a huge hassle.
I really loved my bob, but again got bored so have been growing it out for a few months now. I am lucky because my hair grows extremely fast, something that I know many people wish their hair did. After my exams & our prom, I am contemplating cutting my hair really short, maybe into a pixie cut!

There are a few styles that I have spied which I like, now I just have to choose...

Emma Watson in Perks Of Being a Wallflower

 

Carey Mulligan in The Great Gatsby

 

Tavi Gevinson when she was young

 

I am having real trouble deciding what I want to do and am worried that short hair maybe won't suit me. Oh well, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Review: Frozen

Hey Guys,

If you didn't know already a new Disney film called Frozen has recently been released, not to be mistaken for the thriller. I have to admit I was reluctant to watch this because when I saw the trailer, which I now know was the 'teaser', I thought the whole film was about a talking Snowman; but thankfully it's not, it's so much better than I expected!  

I don't want to ruin it, unlike I do with most of my reviews because I think that everybody should watch this, but i'll give you the gist of what's happening.

There are two sister called Elsa and Anna (pronounce On-A) who were really close when they were little; Elsa has these magical snow powers but then there's an accident. Elsa can't control her powers and keeps locked up in her room and nobody can enter their castle; this continues until her coronation. 

On coronation day the gates to the castle open and Anna's excited to meet and see new people as she's been locked in the castle for 16 years or so; however she pushes Elsa too far and another incident happens.
Elsa runs away to be free and Anna goes looking after her, along the way she meets Kristoff, Sven (the Reindeer) and Olaf  (the Snowman). Finally, once they've found Elsa again another incident happens to Anna and only an act of true love can save her, through out the film you think you know what will save her but to my surprise, and I'm sure many others, the predictable ending didn't happen but what did happen was a much more satisfying. 

Anna

I love all the characters apart from the bad guys obviously, but by far Anna is my favourite. She's one of the main protagonists so you see more of her than anybody, which I loved. You first see her as a child and you instantly fall in love with her because she's just annoying, but that cute annoying. When she's growing up she doesn't play with Elsa because of the accident, so you watch her make her own fun and you can't help but feel sorry for her. As she makes her journey to find Elsa, she meets Kristoff and you know they'll fall in love like every Disney film, but the fact they don't hit it off straight away is brilliant because it's more realistic, if that makes any sense.

Of course it wouldn't be a Disney film without a bit of singing. 'Do you want to build a Snowman' and Olaf's 'Summer' songs are my favourite and both are stuck in my head. Kristen Bell (Anna) and Idina Menzel (Elsa) both have beautiful voices, which makes the songs even better.

Credit has to be given to all the animators because creating all that snow must have been very difficult but more importantly, making Elsa's hair look stunning. I'm in love with Elsa's hair and I really want it, I just thought I'd put that out there.





Everything about this film is beyond perfection and if you're a Disney fan already, this will definitely be one of your new favourites. Please go and watch it.
