I am a total nerd, and so excited for X-Men: First Class that I think it's turning my husband on. I am excited because these movies are awesome generally, but also because: James McAvoy. I am SO ON BOARD with this casting decision.

And speaking of, I just read this review in Game Informer:

"X-Men: First Class tells the origin story of Magneto and Professor X. However, instead of starring Captain Picard and Ian McGandalf, it features two B-grade Hollywood hunks in these key roles. No matter how this movie turns out, it has to be better than X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Remember when he jumped of a jeep onto a helicopter?!"

Disagree. Disagree so hard. (Points for the Captain Picard reference.) I mean, excuse me, but WOLVERINE WAS AMAZING. And mostly because he jumped out of a jeep onto a helicopter. So there goes that review.

Last night I stopped into the Seychelles fall preview, hosted by the lovely and sweet Keiko Lynn (if you don't already read her site, be sure to check it out for inspired style ideas and one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen). The site was co-hosted by lingerie and vintage clothing boutique The Loved One (some of their colorful vintage pieces are pictured above). The lingerie is very B-movie, very bombshell, and really less for sleeping/wearing under clothing and more for lounging (or whatevering) about glamorously.

See? Hot. (Check out the owner's beautiful blog here.)

Now, Seychelles. I've always been a fan of the line because a) I adore their vintage-y shapes, b) I like curvy wooden soles and feminine details, and c) they have lots of pretty flats and medium-height heels, which I may not have always been on board with, but as these feet get older and tireder become a stylish way to compromise.
