I know I was such a Debby downer yesterday. Things were just NOT going my way!
But here were some pieces of news that brightened my day :)

Carey Mulligan was cast as Daisy Buchanan in the upcoming film production of The Great Gatsby!
F. Scott Fitzergerald's literary masterpiece :)
I remember the first movie I ever saw her in, The Greatest. Well I guess that is a lie because she was in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, which is where I really saw her first. But that was her first film and had a smaller role so I didn't know that that was the first time I saw her. Since then she has made huge strides in Hollywood. It is funny that her first big feature film she had a small role in the movie where Keira Nightly had the leading role... since Keria Knightly tried out for the coveted role of Daisy Buchanan as well! Keira Knightly wasn't the only big time actress looking for the spot... Carey Mulligan got the role over Blake Lively, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Abbie Cornish, and Keira Knightley as mentioned. It is no surprise the girl burst into tears when she found out (while she was getting onto the red carpet!) She is such a great actress, and I think she has the perfect look, and acting style (can people have an acting style?) for the part. I also think she will be great with the one and only Leonardo DiCaprio :)
Another thing that made me smile this week would be the announcement of Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement. I read that some people think it is wrong that he proposed with his mother's ring, but I think the gesture is sweet and sentimental. I think it is incredibly special.
Kate looked so good in a dress that I thought was the perfect color to go along with
Princess' Diana engagement ring, simply fantastic.

agreed, I thought that dress was perfect for the ring too!
ReplyDeleteI actually am sad Natalie Portman didn't get the role, because I love her so, but Carey will do very well I know! I am glad it wasn't Kiera!
Hope you're having a great day!
and OF COURSE I remember your tea! My mom take echinacea pills! I wish I would've been drinking the tea or taking the pills because I've been sicker than sick!
I think it is PERFECT that he used his mothers ring! Why wouldn't he use it??
ReplyDeleteShe is GORG!!!
Girl I think we are ALL entitled to one of those Debbie Downer days! I love this post! I especially love Kate's engagement ring... oh mylanta!!! She just looks so charming in that whole ensamble she has going on! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know she was in Pride and Prejudice either! Crazy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very sweet thing to do! I don't get why anyone would be upset.
I completely think it was the sweetest thing ever to use Diana's ring to propose. Precious. I love them together!! And that dress... I die! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see Carey as Daisy! I think she is a great choice! And Will and Kate are so cute, Kate is just flawless!
ReplyDeleteI definitely think she deserves the role over all those other ladies! And looking at that picture of her beside the pictures of you, I see a resemblance!
ReplyDeleteI love Carey and I love Kate! I can see how this brightened your day!

Dude, I want that dress.
ReplyDeleteI looove Carey Mulligan, how cute is she!?
ReplyDeleteOh geez. I absolutely love Great Gatsby and Leonardo Dicaprio as Jay kills me as it is plus Carey. AHHH. I can't wait for that movie. I still have yet to see the Robert Redford version but I die over him as well.
ReplyDeleteI want that dress and that ring!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
I love that he used his mother's ring....it would kinda suck to get it though...can you imagine if you broke it or lost it...no pressure!
ReplyDeleteOkay, what role did she play in Pride & Prejudice? Also, I thought Kate's dress was the perfect color for the ring. I loved that it was a classic style also. She looked beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love her ring! If my MIL's ring was that big, I would've married my husband earlier. Kidding.

her dress is GORGEOUS, and she looks uber classy. And I seriously cannot wait to see this movie. She is so adorable and I think her and Leo will work wonderfully together.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he gave her his mum's ring. I think Princess Di would of been honored.
ReplyDeleteI heard Carey and Shia broke up..is that true?
I love Kate's dress!
ReplyDeleteI think it's sweet he used his moms ring. I mean, if he were anyone else and his mom was anyone else it would have been fine and normal. Instead because of his father and the circumstances of her death people are all up in arms. It's weird.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait for Great Gatsby too. Love.
I loved that he proposed with that ring too. Her dress is adorable & of course she looks amazing in it!
ReplyDeletei loooove that ring. i want one. haha.
ReplyDeletei love that this dress sold out all over the place right after the news broke. looks like, if i want to get my Kate look on, i'ma have to make my own special engagement dress! :)
