The Best Holiday

I went to Spain for 10 days and it was fantabulously great. 10 days, perfect weather, my family, their friends and my best friend = one amazing holiday!

I'm having the post-holiday blues so this is a kind of therapy for me to relive the holiday in this post through pictures :) I've never been on a proper holiday with a friend before so I was thrilled to be able to bring my bestest buddy with me! We had a brilliant time :')

Still can't believe this is where we stayed.... :)

Oz: The Great and Powerful ~ REVIEW!

I wrote a few days ago about how excited I was to go and see Oz, and on Wednesday evening I went with two of my best friends (using Orange wednesdays of course!) and saw Oz in 3D! It was great.

In the cinema with our Harry Potter 3D glasses on!

I'll try not to spoil the plot for those of you considering going and seeing it!

Firstly, the decision to see it in 3D was definitely a good one! The scenery is spectacular and once you enter the land of 'Oz', the colours and effects are so vivid that 3D just makes you feel as if you are there with them! For not much of an extra cost, I'd recommend it if you can :)

James Franco plays the lead who (as you see in the adverts) plays the young circus magician who finds himself swept (quite literally!) into the land of Oz. Wow. May I just say (apologies to any males reading this!) he was looking prettty fineeee ;) but looks aside, I think he does an amazing job of portraying the slightly arrogant, yet good-hearted character. 

Mila Kunis plays the character Theodora, another leading role, and with her elegance, beauty and innocence, you can't help but love her character from the start and be intrigued by her role in what is to come.

Other great characters include Evanora, Theodora's first mystical sister, Finley, an adorably loveable flying monkey and Glinda, the third of the three sisters!

For those of you, like myself, who have seen the original Wizard of Oz numerous times, you can't help but try and piece together who's who and what their role will be as the film progresses! As 'Oz' is the prequel to the Wizard of Oz, we know that this film lays down the foundations for the story, but with all the exciting twists and turns, I doubt you will be able to guess the plot or who's who until it's revealed!

My favourite character was this little one!

The film has a spectacular finale with lots of unexpected revelations and I can assure you that there are a few emotional scenes, as well as a fair bit of humour and a couple of jumping-in-your-seats moments!

So I've rambled on a little bit so hopefully those of you still reading were hoping for a good review! Let me know your thoughts on the film if you've already seen it!

A Trip to London Town

Yesterday I went to London with my mum, my sister and one of my best friends with her mum and sister. We went and saw the theatre show "Potted Potter" which is basically a funny parody of the 7 Harry Potter books condensed into an hour and a half! For the Potterheads that we are, this was pretty great! I definitely wasn't sure what to expect and given that there is practically no props and only 2 actors, I'm not gonna lie- I had some little concerns! ;) But after about 10 minutes, any doubts were gone and I had a brilliant time. The improvisations were hilarious and totally made the show, and you can tell how much they love what they do and want to make people laugh! One of my favourite moments has to be when these 2 little girls were invited onto the stage and had to "catch" the snitch (which was one of the actors dressed in a hilarious gold costume). Only, when they caught him they took the advice to "take him down" very literally and we essentially witnessed two 5-year-old girls rugby tackle a 35-year-old man to the ground! Oh my gosh it was a good laugh!

After that, we headed over to Carnaby Street in the search for a shop I was keen to find "Monki". It was definitely a worthwhile trip and I picked up a few lovely items! Here are some photos of my day:

My new favourite shop!

 If you'd like to see what clothes I bought, I'd be happy to put some pictures up and talk about them and the shop in a little more detail! Just let me know if that would interest you :)

Off to see the Wizard!

So later this afternoon I'm going to see 'Oz' with 2 of my best friends and I'm rather excited! I fell in love with the Wizard of Oz at a young age, performed in the end of primary school production of it and have gone on to see 'Wicked' in the West End twice! If you haven't already seen Wicked, I definitely recommend going- even if you're in the cheapy seats, it doesn't matter as you'll still be blown away by the set design, the songs and the atmosphere! Oh I do love a good musical.

So fingers and toes crossed that Oz lives up to my expectations! Ooh, and I'm seeing it in 3D so EXTRA excitement :) If all goes well, maybe I'll do a little review of the film in the next few days!

Bye for now :)
