Thank Yous...

As you can clearly tell FimC got a design face lift today!  A fresh new look that I am totally digging.

I got the idea when Kate from {o-my-heart) mentioned on her blog that on the side she would be interesting in doing some blog re-design for people since she had just done hers own.  Being a big fan of her blog I jumped at the chance for her to help me with mine.

Its been a few weeks as we went back and forth with font size, button layouts and etc and I am beyond thrilled at the outcome!  She did such a great job and of course I cannot thank her enough.

So FimC readers please enjoy the new and improved blog!  and of course make sure to go check out Kate's blog too!

Thank Yous...

This morning I hit 2000 page views in under a month.  I couldn’t be more thankful for all the support you all have given my blog.  I am so happy after years of pondering it I took the risk and did it.  It has been an awesome creative outlet for me and one that I am truly thankful for.

I look forward to the next milestone, and seeing where else this blog will take me!

Thank you again for the love, I am sending oodles of hugs and kisses into the world today!

Thanks for hanging out in my closet!  :)

Thank You's and Adore...

Now for the shameless plug, please sign up to follow via email or become a blog follower!....lol

For today’s post I wanted to talk about a movie I FINALLY got around to seeing.  Last fall, yes back in 2010, the movie “The Romantics” was released.  All I knew about the movie it was about a group of college friends at one of their weddings and that majority of the wardrobe was JCrew.  Since I had heard that I totally wanted to watch it if only for the clothes.  On Saturday I watched the movie and my review will not be super kind..Lol The plot was mediocre, the acting was great, and however it was just blah, picture a long extended version of Dawson’s Creek starring Joey, literally.  Now the clothes however did NOT disappoint!  The clothes had a great preppy/trend vibe that JCrew is known for.  Each character might have only had 2-3 clothing changes since the whole movie is over a two day span, but they were great.  My personal favorite if you watch the movie is Maia Ackerman in the opening scene.

I do recommend this indie flick if you have nothing else to watch, however if you’re a clothes horse go out of your way to see it for sure.

Also talk about cross media promotion! Since the movies clothes were JCrew they asked the cast to be in their Fall 2010 catalogue.  Below are the amazing pics of the campaign.  I love the looks, and true to good fashion and staple pieces they still hold up in 2011..lol Now for my fellow Canadians they do ship to us since there are no stores up this way.  Lucky us!  And with the postal strike now over {see Gripe} you can get some amazing pieces to add to your closet!

Enjoy the pictures and the trailer of “The Romantics”.
