HP and GB
i went to see harry potter and the deathly hallows 1 on opening day with my best friend. i gotta admit, i did have high expectations for the film (the teasers/trailers absolutely made me drool). and, unlike seemingly popular sentiment, i did not leave the theater feeling disappointed.
yes, the film does trend to drag-out some of the narrative, but it’s pretty much the same in the book anyway. there really are some scenes that are more mellow than hair-raising, and i thought they were portrayed pretty well in the movie. of course there were still some noticeable shortcomings and nonsensical additions/cuts (as with all hp movies — and lots of other books-turned-movies for that matter) but i choose not to dwell on them because, in the end, i really did enjoy it. it is dark and scary and delightfully thrilling.
truth is, i am dreading to watch the second (and final) part next year because saying goodbye to those beloved characters may prove to be too heartbreaking.
anyway! after the movie, me and the bff got some amazing impromptu tickets (for free!) to the gin blossoms concert! the seats were fab and we had so much fun. it was a good day. (:

I'm going to see HP tonight! Woooot! I stopped reading the books by the 3rd book, but I never missed the movies 🙂 They're all grown up now!
Anyway, love how you paired the feminine outfit with the masculine shoes. They became the focal point of this look 🙂
How's the new job? I read your post about it but forgot to leave a comment. CONGRATS BESTIE <3

I feel the same way about the movie! I am so excited to watch the next part, but also dreading to see the series come to a close.
You have been wearing really nice shoes from Parisian. Is this the brand they have at SM department stores?
