Fifty Shades of Grey

I went to the cinema about a couple of weeks ago. Some friends of mine wanted to see "Fifty Shades of Grey", they were so excited about it because they read the book, so I decided to join them and see what was all this rave about. I haven't read the book, but more or less I knew the story of Christian and Anastasia and honestly.......I expected more.
The film was pretty featureless. Jamie Dornan was very sexy indeed, but I found the character of Christian so oppressive and too much of a stalker for my taste, they're not even a couple and he seems to appear everywhere she goes. While Anastasia is so boring (I'm not talking about the actress, I'm talking about the character of Anastasia).
I think the story has nothing original or special: boy meets girl, he's too hot for her but he wants her anyway, she drools over him whenever she sees him and since she's very clumsy we participate to some little funny situations, they kiss, they decide to be friends plus benefits, he is so cold hearted and eventually she falls in love. The only thing that could give the film a bit of spice is the BDSM thing Mr. Grey is into, but they cut a lot of scenes (my friend told me that the book is full of sex moments).
I know how the entire story ends, but I won't spoil it, and I asked my friend to lend me the other two books of the trilogy since I am curious to see how the story develops.
The only thing that I really liked was the soundtrack: simply amazing. There is not one single song that I don't like, and "Love me like you do" by Ellie Goulding which is the main one, is one of my favourites at the moment.

Have you seen this film? What do you think about it?

Have a very nice day!
Kiss, Hugs and Cookies,
Love, Anna.

Shoes & Bags

Image
A couple of months ago I got a pair of shoes and two bags. I normally tend to substitute my old shoes for new ones when they are too old, I don't wear them anymore, or they are completely "destroyed".   Here they are! I think they're super cool, they are grey with a colored pattern on the back. They're pretty simple but I like them. Then I got two bags.   The first one is this black and white handbag with no shoulder strap. I think it's simple but classy.     And then I got this super cute flowery bag with a chain shoulder strap. Love it! They're not big bags at all, they're pretty small, you can't put whatever you want in it, but I'll use them for going out at night I think.   That's it for now!    Hugs, Kisses & Cookies, Love, Anna.

Ballerinas and little black bag

Image
Hey guys, I have another post about shoes and bags. Last month I got this super cute little black purse: It is a rigid one, it has a golden removable chain, in fact I can keep it in my hands by sticking my fingers into the thing that's on top (it looks like a little bow) that has two holes in it. It is small but I really love it. I think it is pretty elegant, I've already used it, even to a wedding! Then I got these new pair of flats They're super cute and super springy/summery. They're blue with tiny holes on them. That's the end of the short post! Until the next time, have a happy summer! Hugs, Kisses & Cookies, Love, Anna.

Wine & Food Tasting

Recently, I've been to a wine and food tasting with some friends. We drove for about 45 minutes heading to Bergamo to arrive at the restaurant where everything took place. The location was evocative due to the wintry landscape, the restaurant was surrounded by bare trees and there was also a little lake with a little fountain in the middle of it, and a mini jetty (I wondered who ever tried to sail that tiny body of water!).  The place was on a rise, the tiny street we walked through was full of greenery and other plants that would probably blossom in spring. I bet that place must be amazing during spring and summer because they organise wedding there too, so I tried to imagine everything was floral.     who has the courage to get on that old boat?     First they took us on a wine cellar tour, and told the story of their family that produces wine since ages, and how they make it. Then, once we were all sat down in the hall, they served us five different types of win
