Things to smile about this week: 1. Having the most awesome girly afternoon yesterday with my best friend and her beautiful baby. We had lunch, we went shopping and we chit-chatted for hours. I love those gorgeous girls so much. (Too much fun baby-cuddling meant I didn’t even take my camera out of my bag.)
2. Recent cinema expeditions. The King’s Speech on Tuesday with my Mum and sister (review: so good and surprisingly funny) and Black Swan tomorrow with my sister. We’re so excited about this film, and the oh-so-pretty Rodarte tutus.
3. Carrying on the cinema theme, there’s only 20 days until the UK release of True Grit. We LOVE the Coen Brothers in our house and we firmly believe Jeff Bridges is a genius. Plus B does love a good western.
4. My brilliant Dad being nominated for Outstanding Costume Design for a Mini Series or TV Movie at the Costume Designers Guild Awards in LA for his work on The Pacific. Last year Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep presented the award. Eeek. I’ve made him promise that if he ever gets an Oscar nomination, I’ll be walking down that red carpet with him. Go Papa, you rock!
5. And finally, some pretty exciting news. I’ve been a very busy bee and on Sunday I’ll be launching my little business. So, make sure you come back and check it out then. I’m really hyped about it, but kinda nervous too so I can’t wait to hear what you think.
that sounds like a lovely week :) How awesome that your father is nominated for that award!! And I hope one day you'll walk down the Oscar red carpet! (how fabulous would that be??) I'm excited to see your business launch! have a great weekend Nell :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new business, can't wait to see it! I've seen Black Swan & now really want to see The King's Speech but apparently it's far too English for my English husband to want to see. I'll have to drag someone else!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your dad! I hope he wins, that would be so exciting!
ReplyDeleteLove lovely days like yours. I had one yesterday with my friend and her 6-year-old son. We went to the beach, kicked around in the water with our jeans rolled up, played with her son's toy more than he did and talked for hours. It was great.
Have a fabulous weekend and good luck with your business launch! x
Congrats to your Dad on the nomination!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, congrats on launching your new business! Can't wait to check it out!!
Happy weekend to you!

ReplyDeleteOhhhhh I can't wait to see/hear about your business! Also, I loved the kings speech and black swan (though I cringed the whole time watching black swan :)
ReplyDeleteOh Nell, I am so behind in my blog reading! Quickly quickly, I must say:
ReplyDelete1. I'm in two minds about Black Swan, with limited movie time I have to be very ruthless with viewing. Can't wait to hear what you think about it.
2. Congrats on setting up shop – can't wait to check it out.
3. Great colour post. I've been looking for a similar basket like that for ages!
4. I'm so with you on friendship. I've done the friend cull too. marrying your best buddie is unreal, you need that friendship in your husband.
5. Very, very RAD mullet you have goin' on.
ps. Wanna move to Sydney and hang out with us and our buckets and balls in the shade? x
Oh, that's one thing I miss the most since being a mama is having no more time to go to the movies. It was my favourite thing to do alone. You must be proud of your dad - congrats to him!!
ReplyDeleteGood on your dad...fingers crossed ! Dave is waiting desperately for True Grit and me? Im up for some King's Speech action. Glad to hear you rated it so highly. Well done u on your new shop! x
