New Look?

-
So…whaddya guys think of the new look I'm trying?  I'll be fiddling around with it over the next couple of days, but some input would be helpful!  I know I changed my look not too long ago, but I kind of wanted something a little more springy and cheery.

Thoughts?  Advice?  Is there too much going on with the background?  Thanks!:)

    That is a very big change from your other one! It looks more bright and cheery.

      Yep, I was getting a little tired of the black and white;)

    Oh my wordy! Very profesh and distinguished-looking! Well done.

    Well, the background might be a teeny bit distracting as it doesn't match the width of your blog. I don't really mind though, the salmon-coloured flower is gorgeous. :-)

      Thank you!

      Gotcha. I think, based on the input I've received, I'll just stick with a simpler blogger design:)

    Oh my gosh! I love it! :-) The background is adorable, though like Naomi said, it could be a tiny bit distracting since it's not quite lined up. But I think you've done very well!

    I don't mind a change in your blog look so soon (says the girl who changes hers every other month). ;-P I loved your black and white theme, but this is much springier and happier. :-)

      Daww, thanks!

      Heehee, thanks - for the record, I don't mind that you change yours so often, either;)

    By the way, I took the Audrey Hepburn quiz too and got Breakfast at Tiffany's Audrey. I've never seen the movie, so I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. ;-P

      Oh, fun! Well, I've only seen part of it, so I couldn't really tell you:P But from what I remember, Audrey's character at least was quite sophisticated and kind:)

    This is so cute! Although I have to admit I adored your other look.
    Your header is soooo pretty. And, I have to agree with Naomi, the background is a little distracting but it's so cute, so I guess it's your call. :) I love the color of it!!

      Thanks! Oh, I liked it too--I just want something a bit springier for right now. I might bring back the black and white later, like possibly in the fall/winter?
      Thank you! :D

    The background might be a little big, but hey, have fun with it!

    BTW: Your name is so pretty! I love how elegant it is and whenever I hear it I always think of Olivia de Haviland and Livy in The Magic of Ordinary Days (the movie). Two very lovely things in my mind! :)

      Yup, I'll be experimenting with the background, most likely:D

      Aww, thank you so much!! Ah, yes, those are two lovely women, aren't they?

    My only quibble is that whenever I hover my mouse over a link, it totally disappears. Other than that, very spring-ful!

      Ah, yes, I'd noticed that too. I've fixed it now:)

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Jane Eyre: 2006 VS 2011

I've seen four adaptations of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre so far, and while all of them have had at least one good element, the two that actually vie for the honor of My Favored One are the 2006 miniseries with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens and the 2011 movie with Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender. Every time I watch these two, I try to figure out which Jane/Rochester pairing is my favorite; and every time, I come to the conclusion that I can't decide.  So, naturally, I've decided to further this exercise in futility by hashing out my feelings here on the blog. :-P  It's pretty disorganized and patchy, but so be it.  Basically, I just wanted to vent a little, and that's what I've done. ;) (And please bear with me:  This is practically the only Gothic romance story I like and allow myself to get all caught up in every now and then, so there may be gushing ahead since this story has kind of been "on the brain" recently.  Don't worr...

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewin...

A Look at the Wardrobe of...{an Evenstar}

I've happened upon a new idea for a blog series, that I'm planning on keeping in the back of my mind for those times when I'm suffering for a good post idea.  In this new series, I will pick a movie character whose wardrobe I particularly enjoy or think interesting, and I'll devote a blog post to the analyzation of each character's wardrobe.  Sound fun?  Alrighty then, let's get started!:D First on the list to be examined is Arwen Undomiel, who, aside from being my favorite female character in The Lord of the Rings , also possesses my favorite movie wardrobe.  I'm making this up as I go along, but I suppose I shall just jump into examining Arwen's dresses. #1:  The White Dress Pictures for this one were kind of hard to find, so…I do apologize:-/  This dress is beautiful and simple, folds of white cloth draped tastefully, accessorized by a gorgeous necklace;) This outfit is very soft and lovely and is very well-suited to the scene...
