i'm not that man

I know I'm quite late in posting about the Toronto shows that New Kids on the Block & Backstreet Boys did on June 8 and 9. I wasn't going to originally because I had way too many feelings but it was honestly one of the most fun nights I've ever had. Considering that the other concerts I've posted about were indie bands, this seems a little weird to put on here but I don't even care because it was just so good. It literally blew my mind.


Now I'm debating whether to go to Hamilton to see them in August. Can you just imagine NKOTBSB x3 in one summer? That would literally be heaven. /shameless fangirling

I went to see it last night on opening day because I just couldn't wait. My friends had mixed reviews about it but I liked it. It was pretty long, around two and half hours. Not as much action as I was expecting but it really focused on character development. So much Xavier and Magneto man love. All those little moments they shared; the simultaneous tear, “What do you know about me?” “Everything”, how Erik made everyone stay back so he could have his own private time with Charles on the beach (if you haven't seen it yet, this sounds like it could be misinterpreted but it really can't. Their whole relationship is based on sexual attraction). It was so upsetting to see them part ways in the end. AND WHY WAS EVERYONE SO GOOD LOOKING? Like, hot damn.

Ahhhh, this movie is so good. Kristen Wiig is literally perfect in this. She's funny, she gets to sleep with Jon Hamm, she's a baker, and she meets the sweetest, most adorable cop. Oh and her hair. Everyone's hair. Hair porn everywhere [ok, maybe not Melissa McCarthy's but she makes up for it in funnies (I've been doing Gilmore Girls marathons and can I just say that she is completely different in this and it's pretty amazing)]. Flawless movie is flawless.


LOVE THEM.

Iron & Wine - Sixteen, Maybe Less

As a broke college student, I'm always looking for cheaper alternatives so I've substituted Kate's outfit with more affordable finds. Instead of Proenza Schouler, I put a classic satchel from Asos, and instead of Isabel Marant boots, there's Sam Edelman. Zara should be coming out with an even better copy of them soon too, so look out for those. I feel like I should end this on an inspirational note, something like, thus proving that style doesn't rely on wealth...so there.

I saw this movie a couple months ago and re-watched it tonight. I absolutely adore it. My favourite scene is when Andrew Garfield's character accidentally gets high and starts dancing in the club. He's so timid and lovable the rest of the movie that when he breaks out, it's beautiful to watch. The way he moves his body is so awkward and strange, and funny but just an fyi, this movie will make you cry.
