I've been wanting to talk about movies for a while but couldn't find an excuse to. Up until I moved to the States, I used to have a feature called "movie task" where I would do something connected to a specific movie (emulate the wardrobe, crafts, etc); I loved to do it! But once I got here, I guess I lost motivation and there were so many things to adjust to that I didn't want to commit to a blog schedule or anything ... Who knows, I might bring it back one day since I love movies!
Anyhow, I don't know why I hadn't though of a compendium of movie related somethings before! :p Today I'll show you products, DIYs, etc I picture movie characters wearing/doing, you know.
Something that Poppy would wear: Do you love Poppy from Happy-Go-Lucky as much as I do? :D This movie was so inspiring to me! Even though some scenes are too long for my taste and yes, her character is too cartoony, I love her spirit, positivity and wardrobe :p. I picture her wearing clothes from La Casita de Wendy and shoes from Irregular Choice (I discovered the latter on Jenna's blog).

Something Stephane Miroux would create: It was impossible for me not to fall in love with The Science of Sleep for several reasons: 1) Stephane is a daydreamer like me, 2) he loves paper! When I saw these images from Fideli, they totally reminded me of him.
Stephane is a boy, but maybe Stephanie would wear paper dresses like these in Stephane's mind?
Something that reminds me of Lost in Translation: Did you like this movie? Everybody that has seen it twice swears by this film, but to be quite honest, I can't see its greatness. Anyway, these Tokyo in a box sets and Tokyo map playing cards take me back to this movie.
Something Jordana from Submarine would own: I have to admit that I watched Submarine because I knew it was directed by Richard Ayoade; yes! Moss from the IT Crowd! :) How could I not watch it? Although I enjoyed it (and its music), I hated to find the typical cliches most indie movies resort to. But, hey! What do I know about movies, right? I don't think Jordana would wear the Polaroid camera pin, but I'd totally add it on the lapel on her red coat ;).
Something that belongs in Amelie Poulain's apartment: Bianca's bike, animal votives, green paper lamp and a Beacon Two - Twenty Five camera.
Something to emulate Lady Vengeance's make-up: Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is one of those movies that I started watching, got crept out but couldn't stop watching till the end. Since then, I've been meaning to try wearing red eye shadow like her. Here's a tutorial to learn how to do it.
Something Marie Antoinette would have eaten: I can totally picture Marie Antoinette eating all of these sophisticated sugar cubes, petit fours and edible lace rosettes.
Something Christine would create: I've seen Me and You and Everyone We Know countless times, it never gets old to me; it's so filled with poetry and things I can relate to. Christine is a low-key creative soul and I think she would come up with products like the following.
Can you suggest any other movies you can relate to products/DIYs, etc?
Hope you have a movie-like weekend! ;D

First off...I hope you bring back your movie feature! That is the neatest idea! Though probably somewhat time consuming I'm sure!
Hey that's me on your blog! :) Those shoes are AMAZING! If only the Irregular Choice items weren't so darn expensive! I had Happy-Go-Lucky on my instant queue but I never watched it! Now I don't have the instand play...maybe I'll just put it on the list for my dvd at home option!
Loving all the paper items too...those dresses are so neat! I obviously have not seen most of these movies because I don't "get" the references but now I want to see them.
Amelie...I do get that one :) Love all of those perfectly chosen items!
PS - I've tried red eyeliner...it is weird on your average trip to the grocery store or any other place where people may fear someone with red coming from their eyes :p
Fabulous Friday post yet again Miss!

I haven't watched half of these movies! What am I doing with my time?! I think I need to hop on the Science of Sleep right away.
Thanks for introducing these movies into my life, Miki! However, once I'm done watching--I want to go back to being weird. I like being weird. Weird is all I've got. That and my sweet style. :D
Have a wonderful day. Remain awesome! ;)
i absolutely love the science of sleep such a good movie :D the inspiration was so cool

This is really creative, Miki. I would love for you to bring back that feature. <3
excelente entrada!
iba comentar sobre una, sobre dos, sobre 3...
pero todas son muy buenas!
Espero que vuelva para quedarse esta costumbre!
Eeee! Such great movies and correlations! I LOVE Lost in Translation! It seems you either love it or feel indifferent towards it.
I'd definitely love to read more movie-related posts. Love love love movies.
Have you seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Everything is Illuminated? Those are two movies that I think are similar to the ones you wrote about here that you might enjoy!
I was planning to watch Happy-Go-Lucky for a while now.. Now I have to do it :)
I LOVE 'me and you and everyone we know' - it is one of my absolute favorite movies!! like you, i have seen it countless times as well. Miranda July is amazing!! I am a crazy fan - purchased her books, movies, old work etc.. her newest movie is also a favorite of mine (called 'the future'). different from me & you, but also very real in a similar way. Love love it!! And yes, i could see her using/making those body washes! haha
I LOVE your taste in movies! There are just 2 I haven't seen - Submarine (sounds like I'm not missing much) and Me, You and Everyone We Know (sounds like I need to put that right asap!) I think you've found the perfect ideas for every movie, and each one is totally YOU as well ;) Those shoes Jenna found are truly wonderful and make me want to start wearing high heels again (then again Jenna always does!)
hey miki! just popping in to say i miss you & all my blogland pals. be back soon! xoxoox
As usual, I love everything you just showed us! Poppy is so inspiring and the outfits you posted are so cute! You are so creative, Miki and I love to browse through your lists! It is always so much fun! Thank you! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, my dear! Hugs!
Those mittens, those shoes, those dresses!!! Sheesh Miki, you have seriously made me want to go on a buying spree here! <3ing everything here to say the least. xo Marisa
