Let's Take it Outside

People say that the more you watch a film, the more details you find and the more you fall in love with the story, the characters and the movie itself.

While watching (500) Days of Summer (yet again), I discovered in my favorite scene of the movie, the one that portrays the ¨Expectations vs. Reality¨ Tom has while meeting Summer after the wedding, an element I absolutely loved: Outdoors Dinner Parties.

Ever since, I've been strangely drawn to this phenomenon, not only because there's just something about fine weather, music outdoors and french wine, like John Keats so eloquently said, but because of the mystique that holds the lighting, the night and the company.

While searching images that may indulge my magical thoughts of what outdoors dinner parties hold in store, I came upon these,



Mysterious, yet inviting.




Colorful and chimerical.




Who said it has to start when the sun sets? 5 o'clock pre-dinner cocktails seem perfectly adequate, if you ask me.

Now, food is absolutely important, considering it's a dinner party and all, but isn't planning an outfit far more entertaining?



Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Bliss

Hey bloggers! Long time no see. I know I've been MIA for a while (sorry about that), but it's all been the result of hectic weeks. Weeks filled with excitement and fun. I've always thought there are different kinds of happiness and I've experienced a whole lot of them recently. You know? The times when everything is... well... blissful.



Birthday celebrations with a salsa orchestra at Habana Panama in Casco Viejo with friends and family. Yep, I'm a year older!






Going to Disney with my two best friends for a long weekend as a birthday gift! I couldn't have asked for a better gift. It was perfect!




While on my trip, going on a not-so ocassional shopping spree and finding my absolutely PERFECT boyfriend blazer! After months of searching and high disappointment, I finally found it




I love the small pleated details on the back. It creates a great silhouette!




Finally watching (500) Days of Summer, thanks to a good friend who gave it to me as a present. It was amazing. The photography, the wardrobe, the acting, the music. Everything. I think I want to raid Zooey Deschanel's closet after this movie. I highly recommend it (the movie not the raiding of closets, of course).




Finally watching An Education after months of hunting for the DVD. Also highly recommended. Very interesting theme and picture.




Catching up on homework and heavy study sessions... it makes me feel responsible! At least for now.


What has made YOU happy this weekend? What have you enjoyed doing? Any recommendations about how to mix that blazer? Hope you had an amazing weekend!
