The Devil Wears Prada

A few years ago, this book hit me the moment I saw it at a bookstore. Then, I wasn't too much into reading yet. I thought to myself, I'll read it after they make a movie out of it.

Well, guess I know have to read it.

I caught the film a couple of weeks back, thanks to torrent sites, I was able to download a (pretty crappy) video file of the movie. What can I say but it was everything I expected.

The performances of the actors in the film were stellar. Loved it, especially Merryl "Miranda" Streep. What I loved the most though were the fashions in the movie. Thanks to Patricia Field for the styling, it was one for the books. Think the best of the best in Sex and the City fashion.

Key parts in the movie to look out for if you're a fashion savant, the intro... shoes galore... round toe, black patent pumps, damn... thank God I'm a guy. Had I been a woman, I would probably have bought those pairs.

Another fab scene was when the main character became dressy... special effects of her going to work (on different days) in different outfits. The white trench screamed Donna Karan but I can't be sure.

Lastly, the cutest look I saw was when "Andy" wore a black boat neck knit with an elbow-length sleeve over a plain white button down long-sleeved shirt, (what looked like) herringbone-print pants, accented with a newsboy hat (which also seemed like it was plaid or herringbone-print). QUE FABULOSA!!!

It's Been A While

And here's the reason why it took so long to blog... I bought a new vehicle! Inspired by my addiction with the series 24, I got a black SUV. Though not an Expedition, it's close:



Ford Escape 3.0 with a V6 engine. It's got the coolest interior, I just love beige interiors. A moon/sun-roof, 6-disc changer, leather seats... I can almost make love to this car simply because it's so damn HOT!!!

...... on other news, work has been very kind to me. Keep praying that we all may continue to be blessed by God.
