How Many Dresses ?

Advantages: Good storyline , James Marsden, funny
Disadvantages: NONE!

...I recently saw 27 dresses at the cinema and thought it was a really good movie. It's the best movie I've seen in a long time. When I first saw the adverts for it , and read the reviews in magazines , I knew it would be a good film. I was glad I was right too , because my predictions of the last movie I'd seen , St Trinians was wrong - I thought it looked good , but it turned out to be an awful film in my opinion. However I am not here to review St Trinians , I am here to review 27 dresses. So here we go.... * Movie Information * 27 Dresses was released in the United Kingdom in March 2008. The running time of 27 Dresses is 107 minutes. * 27 Dresses - The Characters * Jane - played by Katherine Heigl - A kind and caring character who will do anything to please others. Kevin - played by James Marsden - A very hot , wedding...

27 Dresses - A predictable chick flick

Advantages: Easy viewing
Disadvantages: Not a laugh out loud comedy, predictable.

...I watched this film last night after renting it from Lovefilm.com. A number of people I knew who had seen it had suggested that it was very funny and worth watching, so I thought I would get in on the act ans see what all the fuss was about. 27 Dresses is a romantic comedy which is directed by Anne Fletcher and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. Mckenna was also screenwriter for the Devil Wears Prada, which led me to expect an equally good film in 27 Dresses. The film has a 12A rating and was released in January 2008. Running time is approximately 110 minutes. ***The Cast*** Katherine Heigl as 'constant bridesmaid' - Jane Nichols James Marsden as ' wedding journalist' - Malcolm Kevin Doyle Malin Akerman as ' Jane's sister' - Tess Nichols Edward Burns as 'Jane's boss' - George ***The plot*** The film centres...

Dress Your Best!

Advantages: Very popular with young children
Disadvantages: No lift-the-flap opportunities

...Maisy is a sweet little white mouse, with a pink tail, nose, ears and paws. She isn't a 'regular' sort of mouse as she wears clothes, sleeps in a bed, brushes her teet and much, much more! The books in this series really appeal to young children, as Maisy does everything that they can relate to. ~ The story ~ Not surprisingly, this book is all about Maisy dressing up, a pastime that is very popular with pre-school children. The story begins with Maisy receiving an invitation to her friend's fancy dress party. Not sure as to what to wear, she looks in her dressing up box where there are lots of options: a pirate, a queen, a king or a firefighter. The problem is that she knows her friends are wearing these costumes so she decides to make a special costume. When she gets to the party the reader then realises that Maisy...

Well Dressed indeed!

Advantages: Leaves a lovely finish on the skin.
Disadvantages: Price for some people I suppose.

...?Well Dressed? is one of my staple blushes from Mac and I always have one in use. This is a great blush for everyday use because it is a subtle colour, giving a hint of pink to the cheeks, so it can compliment most make up styles. ?Well Dressed? is a pale pink, if you swipe your finger over the pressed powder then you get a small covering on pink, which is great because it means this is not at all overpowering on the cheeks. In fact I think it is practically impossible to mess the application of this blush up! This is a slight shimmer blush, when you move it in the light you can see some specs of sparkle, I?m hesitant to call it glitter because it is too fine, however it is important to note that this gives the blusher a slight light catching ability when being worn. Again this is not at all overpowering. When applying this blush I use...

Review of MAC Blush in Well Dressed

Boys in White Dresses with Blue Satin Sashes...

Advantages: Fun, witty, clever writing, good characters, good message
Disadvantages: None

...for CHILDREN? Well, yes, kind of. The Boy in the Dress is an unusual and brilliant book. From its beautiful purple cover with silver sparkly writing to its pencil drawings by Quentin Blake, this is quite a special book. We soon learn about Dennis, the main character, who is twelve years old and lives with his father and older brother. He misses his mum, longingly peeking at the one photo he still has of her, when they were a happy family, on the beach and she was wearing a pretty yellow dress. He misses the hugs he used to get from his mum, because his dad is a lorry driver who likes beer and football and isn't one for any demonstration of affection. His brother John is fourteen and also rather adverse to hugs. Dennis is an ordinary boy of his age. He goes to school, hangs round with his best friend Darvesh and loves playing...

Wanna dress for less?

Advantages: Cheap, good delivery, easy to navigate
Disadvantages: Some things are last season, won't appeal to everyone

...I have no idea how I found this site, I just remember browsing it & finding some gorgeous and reasonably priced DKNY jackets. They even had them in XL in a lot of the tops, perfect for those people like myself who gets frustrated that shops seem to only sell size small! Dress for less stock the site from remains, end of sections and last season's stock, which means that while you won't be getting up to the minute fashions, you will get good bargains, and dress for less offers savings of up to 70% on some items. This appeals to myself, as I'm happy enough having something different from everyone else. There is a good selection of designers. DKNY, Calvin Klein, Elle, Julien MacDonald and Levis are just a few of the many designer names available from this site. Think of an up market TK Maxx, that's much better laid out, and you...
