Beginning...Again

My new “hair crush” is Melanie Laurent’s character from the Mike Mills' film Beginners”. She has a little side parted fringe and that messy French out-of-bed thing going on.  I must admit I've been trying to emulate it. (I followed my post-break up advice and just opted for bangs rather than lopping it all off in a fit of despair).

(my jowly portrait of Melanie Laurent!)

I really love "Beginners" – from the interiors (lots of plants!), the cinematography, Ewan McGregor and, of course, the beautiful little dog.

McGregor's character, Oliver, reminds me of the type of beau that I should really be going for. However, I must remember that it is a movie, it is fictional, it is NOT REAL!

B and I made a list of the characteristics we would like our potential partners to have – from personality right down to the type of shoes they would wear. Now, for some reason I kept mentioning corduroys … I really don’t know any men that wear corduroy trousers but I added this to my “perfect beau” list. 

I'd like to think that Ewan McGregor’s character, Oliver, would have a pair of corduroy trousers in his wardrobe.

So in the spirit of “Beginners” I’ve attached some photos I have taken inspired by this wonderful film (minus the cords).
