I Want to Dress Like Isabelle in Hugo
Four very good reasons to see Hugo:
- Paris…
- …in the 1930s (The dresses! The hats! The little ladylike shoes!)
- It’s an enchanting movie with a big, inspiring, I-got-my-cry-on heart.
- That girl up there.
Isabelle embodies everything that is great about young girls. If you’re a fan of plucky heroines like Anne of Green Gables and Laura Ingalls (and I know you are), you’ll recognize her wide-eyed enthusiasm for books, charmingly advanced-beyond-her-age vocabulary, and her eager thirst for adventure. Plus, look at that outfit! She mixes patterns like a pro, rocks knee socks on snowy nights, and knows the importance of flat little boots; their comfort is of the utmost importance when running away from villains and towards your destiny. I dedicate all casual skirt and sweater combos in these last cold days of winter to her.

Monday's Nugget - Lana: I am so, so sad to say that I did not like this movie. I wanted to, but it wasn’t in the cards for me.
I just kept waiting for something, anything, to happen.
I did like Isabelle, though. And yu never really can go wrong with Paris, can you?9 weeks ago
