Water For Elephants

After seeing this movie I could not wait to blog about how beautiful it is. I absolutely fell in love with Reese Whitherspoon's character and portrayal in this breathtaking prohibitionary tale about love, and lost love through the struggles of a traveling circus. I won't go into details regarding the movie because I am sure most of you have not seen it yet. If you have not, I suggest you do; it's nothing short of amazing. As I stated before the film takes place during the prohibition which was around the 1930's. Her style in the movie is one of the things I could not stop thinking about while watching. Although I could not find many photos of her in the movie, I tried my best to find ones that give you(the reader) a small glimpse of her wardrobe/style. The colors used in the ensembles that were worn along with the beautiful pin curls and finger waves left me in awe. I will not ruin it- as I said you must see it for yourself to see the true beauty of it!

    I watched the movie yesterday and absolutely fell in love with Reese Witherspoon. It's definitely a must-see. The book is next on my reading list.

    I haven't seen it yet, but I read the book awhile ago and I LOVED it. It's one of my favorite books of all time, so I hope the movie does it justice!

    I'm a sucker for pin curls and finger waves, too. In fact, the preview had me sold simply for her styling. Thanks for sharing!

    I am torn. I really want to see it, yet I don't. Also, I have no one to go with me! (At least I don't think I do.)

    Thanks for the review!

    I can't wait to see this, just so see how it looks! I haven't really heard the greatest things about the book, but the film looks stunning. I did circus as a kid, so this is top of the list for films to see ;)

    I haven't read the book. I am a big Robert Pattinson fan. Not because of Twilight because I actually think Twilight is a bad role for him, but in everything else, I think he has great acting ability. I kinda want to see this movie, kinda don't. I do because it looks beautiful. I love that time in history, and the actors. I don't because I am not a big fan of stories where there is infidelity in a marriage relationship. Just a personal opinion there. ha. I will more than likely end up seeing it though. Awesome review. :)

    Robert Pattison has some sexy buns and I think Reese Witherspoon is adorable...(and I think she's my age so that gives hope to old ladies everywhere that they too can have a dude with young sexy buns).
    I got the Vogue with the images from this movie. Was it shot by Annie Lebowitz? I can't remember...anyways, Reese's interview was amazing and I definitely will be watching this one.

    I will have to check this out. The scenes/photos look beautiful. Reese is a very classy lady. I loved her in Walk the Line.

    Ooh thank you for this! I think I will have to make a date with my husband today!! 1930's vintage fashion is one of my favorites, so this movie will definitely quench my thirst haha. It looks/sounds great. Have you read the book? I haven't, but been meaning to. Next on my list!

    Holy shit you're popular! Anywho...the 4th pic was my FAVORITE outfit! The man pants that are baggy up top & tighten around the calves so she can wear boots! & her scarf. Perfect. Also, Robert Pattinson in his suspenders was gorgeous. Yeah, I'm a nerd! ;)
