Leap Year - Hello 29th February

Happy Leap Year!

I don't really have much to post here...other than Happy February 29th. Use your extra day to get out there and do something different. Or...just go about whatever you'd usually do on a grey Monday (with the addition of watching Oscar speeches on YouTube and looking at dresses on Daily Mail).

As cheesy as the poster is, and as predictable the film is, I'm going to re-watch Leap Year tonight. If you can fall in love over a few days, and fall in love with a place so different to 'home' in just a few days, then anything is possible. Spoiler alert, oops. And you know, girls, if you want to go and propose to your boyfriend today, do it. But if you also wanted to do it any other day of the calendar year, there's nothing wrong with that either.

Ok, Happy Leap Year.

WILL LEONARDO DICAPRIO FINALLY WIN AN OSCAR?

film

This is the question we're all thinking. For year's, we've watched that sweet, hopeful, earnest face, shortly followed by that brilliant gracious loser's face (practice makes perfect, apparently. Tragically.) I've mentioned it a couple of times on the blog this year, but I really, really reckon this could The Year of Leo. It's been a long time coming, hasn't it!?

Leo has been a frontrunner from the start for his role in The Revenant. It's done bloomin' well throughout the whole of awards season - but will he fall at the final hurdle? Because we all know, if anyone could do it, it's the Cap.

It seems like everyone is rooting hard for 2016 to be a year he'll forever remember. Twitter is buzzing. So...5th time lucky???

We don't really want a repeat of this...

Or this...Oh, the brutality.

And you know what, someone's made an actual game where you can help Leo win an Oscar.

Glasses at the ready. We'll be watching.

Malìparmi AW16/17 at Milan Fashion Week

fashion

Having spent much of last year living in Milan, I flew back to London with an even greater appreciation of the finest fashion. Malìparmi and its stunning showcase of print and colour was one of my favourites from Milan Fashion Week last September, so I was gutted to be missing their latest collection. Luckily, my good friend and fashionista Toli was able to cover it instead! Their Autumn/Winter 2016/17 collection is the ‘Rocca’ collection, inspired by modern art which definitely came across in the presentation set-up. Also think crisp autumn leaves, stylish furniture fittings and country getaways. But delving further, ‘Rocca’ itself stands for strength, and heart, with the power signified by the rocks used throughout. Inspired. Plus, there’s Jacquard fabric perfect for colder months, statement patchwork and tribal strength elements in the handbags that I don’t think will ever go out of style. Plus the most gorgeous clutch bag with beads and embellishment galore (above). Throw in some shades of green and orange and blue; it may not be summer anymore, but who said you can’t still be colourful?

Find out more about Rocca here, and keep up to date this Fashion Week over on our Facebook page.

OMG Trailer Overload at the Super Bowl!

film

Let me be really honest with you. I don't know much about the Super Bowl. I do know, however, that Coldplay and Beyonce and Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga pretty much slayed it as this year's guest performers. I know that the Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers. (I Googled it.) But what I'm probably most excited about, is knowing that all the Super Bowl Special film trailers are here! Bourne is back, Captain America did some more things, X-Men got dark, and there are so many others that I simply can't contain my excitement.

Shall we begin?

Deadpool
This film's out this week and Marvel's anti-hero is creating quite the buzz. There's always time for one last trailer...

Captain America: Civil War
We have to wait til April for the real thing but for now, we have this. There's chanting and a lot of dark, intense staring.

Jason Bourne - ???

Look at this, they still won't tell us Jason Bourne's real name...of the film, that is. But we do know that he's back, and deadlier than ever. He's been OOA for years, but dayym, Matt Damon's still got it.

Independence Day: Resurgence

Quite fittingly with the Super Bowl, this trailer begins with the Star-Spangled Banner (not sung by Lady Gaga though). Then chaos happens.

Gods of EgyptOh look, here's Gerard Butler as an Egyptian. This film is out later this month in the US (April in the UK), and is rocking all the 300 vibes.

X-Men: Apocalypse

Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique says "let's go to war" - and so they do. It doesn't give too much away, but we do see more of the younger characters like Storm, Jean Grey and Cyclops. And Quicksilver's back!

The Jungle Book

There's a live action version of this classic story. It looks quite impressive so far, and also features Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray, scary talking animals, and Neel Sethi doing a splendid job as Mowgli.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
Not satisfied with other mutants appearing in the Super Bowl, this crew are back. If you liked the first, I'm sure you'll like this one too...
