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. ;))

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...

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capul...

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would ...
