This blog is not related to fashion at all, sorry... I do like things other than fashion! ;)



For those of you who know me, you know I LOVE going to see movies. It gives you a chance to escape life and travel somewhere else, be someone else or just get away for some mindless humor...

The Seattle International Film Festival is in full swing and so far I've seen some really great movies.

I've been volunteering for 3 years now and not only do I get to see tons of amazing movies but I also get vouchers to see the movies I want for free!

So far this year I've seen:
Battle in Seattle - Can't say I really liked this movie but I think I'll give it another chance when it comes out... I just wasn't able to attach myself to any of the characters.
The Art of Negative Thinking - This movie was entertaining, I definitelly laughed.
The Home Song Stories - I could relate a little to this movie. It was very well written! One fashion related note, I loved all the different cheongsam's the mother wore. They were beautiful!
American Teen - I loved this documentary - the q&a after made me love it even more! Definitely go see it when it comes out in theaters.
Captain Abu Raed - Very well done and enjoyable. The characters were easy to like. The q&a at the end made me like it even more. Also, liked that is was "The first independent film from Jordan, and the first Jordanian feature in 50 years".

I plan on still seeing:
Choke
Phoebe in Wonderland
Jolene
Frozen River
The Wackness
Cherry Blossoms - Hanami

If they have a Q&A after, I suggest staying, you learn some interesting facts and you can ask those burning questions.

I'm sure I'll see more but for now that is what I have tickets for... Any recommendations?

(I am pulling these blogs from my UFN blog at http://urbanfashionnetwork.blogspot.com/)

Today was finally the day I got to go see Sex and the City. I won't give you any spoilers because that's not cool... I will say though that I loved the movie. I laughed, I cried and I laughed some more. The outfits were amazing, the shoes, the accessories - I loved it all. Way to go Patricia Field!! I wish I had half the clothing budget she had!! (Dear Santa, please send me my own stylist along with fashion budget for Christmas. Amen & thank you, Tarah)

If you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to check it out. If you were a fan of the show then I think you will be pleased with the movie! (I wish I was getting paid for that plug!)

After the movie I met Dawn at the Seattle Center to check out the CRAVE Market. There were tons of local businesses there promoting fitness, massage, chocolate, skin care, etc.

Local boutiques and designers had tables selling their wares at sample sale prices. I picked up two cute dresses from Horseshoe in Fremont and an amazing leather handbag from Kimberly at Clutch. Then we mosied over to Dry Soda for my favorite flavor, Lavender. Sustainable Style Foundation was there as well so we chatted with Zanetha to get the low down on what they do and how we could get involved.

All in all, I think Melody put together a great event. I love the sample sale idea and getting all those boutiques together in one place. You really can find something you need when you have that many options.

From all the designers and boutiques I spoke with, it sounded like it was a great venue for them and they did really well. I'm sure Melody will be doing the event again, so make sure to sign up and be apart of the next one!!
