.(THAT NAME IS MR. MARTIN SCORSESE}+

I've been home now for some minutes after having had a very enjoyable night out. It's good to know that I have a great friend living this close to me :)

Awards Daily is my homepage so after turning on my laptop and going onto the internet I stumbled upon this great video on YouTube from the Golden Globes last night. They presented a special award to Martin Scorsese and at the end of this video you find the very touching speech he gave. Note to self: see more of his films!

Be aware though, that in the middle after the sequence of clips from the film he made comes a clip, or perhaps it's the entire trailer, I don't know 'cause I have been trying to avoid it and so far it's been going well, of his latest piece titled Shutter Island. So be warned if, like me, you'd rather not see anything of this film before you head into the cinema to finally see it ;)

Thanks to Awards Daily


And go see Up In The Air, it's good. Better than Juno! I mean, I liked that one but remember to not be that impressed when I saw it, expected more. But this one's very nice. Only bit of criticism, why the sudden excess of music at the end? It was like they forgot they also needed to have a soundtrack that can be sold along with the film so they quickly decided to throw in some songs! But apart from that, it's a winner! Very witty, well written, characters are great especially Anna Kendrick's one. Loved her!

And one of the bands that's gonna hit it big time this year, Stornoway (others are Two door Cinema Club, We Have Band, New Villager, and some others which I can't recall right now, sorry) Especially their song Here Comes The Blackout is addictive! It's a bit folky, but very upbeat. A little bit of Fleet Foxes at times.
There's a video out for their song Unfaithful, also pretty good, but Here Comes The Blackout is the one that will be taking them places!

Men's fasion week is in full swing so if you're anywhere close to Milan and love fashion, this is the place to be!

The latest trend is to broadcast the shows live online so people who aren't so fortunate to attend the actual event can watch the show from their homes. PRADA did this and you can watch it here. Trust me, it's way better to see these clothes in motion instead of just looking at them through still photographs


This show is kind of difficult to watch though because of the runway. I prefer just one straight line instead of all these paths crossing each other. Ends up a bit chaotic.

You can also watch the amazing Burberry Prorsum (Prorsum means forwards in Latin) show here
Just follow that link. This show has one straight runway and therefore you can focus much better on the clothes.
Oooooh those trenchcoats, I'd kill for them!!!! I remember last time not being that impressed, but this collection looks really good. High collars (just how I like 'em) skinny jeans/trousers, and beautiful big boots, very army inspired. But don't be fooled though, they don't dress like this in the army! ;) Or at least not anymore :(

They play really cool music during the show as well, btw

When it comes to fashion it seems I'm much more of a fan of Fall than Spring.

Having dinner with a friend tonight and then seeing Up In The Air!
Have a good day ;)
