Fifty Shades Out of This World

Yes, I am one of those girls who fell into the trap that E.L. James has set and am completely enthralled by the Fifty Shades series.  In case you are somehow unaware, Fifty Shades of Grey is the first novel of three by James, an erotic fiction novel that tells of the intensifying relationship between naive Anastasia Steele and young business tycoon Christian Grey.

And taking no judgment from any boys out there who have something to say.  Because it is not just for soccer moms or women in the midst of a midlife crisis; it's for anyone who can appreciate a good love story.  If you haven't read them yet, get on that ASAP!

So of course, Hollywood having to take over every great frenzy out there, it is already in talks to turn Fifty Shades into a movie.  I heard recently that Alexander Skarsgard of True Blood was set to play the one and only Christian Grey and I was absolutely horrified as he does not fit the description at all.  Rest assured though, it was only a rumor and no roles are set in stone just yet. For me, I would LOVE to see Ed Westwick take on the role {you know him as Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl}. He's so suave and confident and has the perfect tinge of mystery about him that makes him the perfect pick for this character.  Can't wait to start on the next two books!

Laters, baby.

Bedroom Revamp

Ah!  It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted last.  But I can’t think of any better time to sit down to write than on this snowy morning as I’m snuggled in bed. What I’ve been up to lately is redecorating my bedroom.  I have a thing for interior decorating and way too often find myself shopping at antique stores and vintage boutiques for little accessories to add the perfect touches to my room.

The theme I’m going for is a vintage, romantic, French inspired style, set in a soft, misty, blue and rustic cream color palette.  I call it ‘Parisian Chic’.  I’m basing it around this beautiful piece of artwork I got a while ago at HomeGoods.

I actually found this image of a bedroom that I absolutely love, which is very reminiscent on the look I’m going for.  It’s so simple and refreshing, and just looks like the best place to retreat to after a long day.  I love the gold painted letters above the bed, and I definitely plan to distress some shelves of my own just like that one.  So eager to get my room done already!
