Ill

There is a part of me that enjoys being ill. You know, getting to snuggle up in bed, watch crappy movies and read. Today, I am lying on the sofa watching Jeremy Kyle and reading The French Lieutenants Woman. I have just finished reading Lindsey Kelk's I Heart Hollywood. And it was fantastic! I seriously cannot wait for I Heart Paris. This time we follow Angela Clark out to Hollywood to interview hot British actor James, but turns out the paparazzi take a liking to Angela and James, and you know what they say, a picture speaks a 1000 words. And she has to try and convince her hot indie boyfriend Alex, her boss Mary and NBF Jenny that nothing is going on...A fabulous read, and I have never had any desire to travel to LA, but this book makes me want to go so badly! Oh - and perhaps one of the most exciting moments in the book is when Angela receives a brand new Marc Jacobs Satchel in light blue...sigh...so pretty. I live for the day when I receive a Marc Jacobs bag...if anyone would like to donate, please do.

Now, it's the crucial time of the day. Nearly 10.30am, time to decide what movie to watch first. It's always difficult to decide what genre to go for when you're ill. Period drama? Horror? Action? Comedy? Romance? Here is my comprehensive list of sick day movies:

1. Pride and Prejudice - Come on. The wet shirt alone makes me feel like I could conquer the world. When will Mr Darcy show up at my door?



2. Only You - Robert Downey Jr. Italy. Do I really need to utter any more persuasion to you?



3. North and South - My favourite period drama. Beautiful cast, beautiful music...Just perfect.



4. Now, Voyager - One of my favourites. Bette Davis, in her classic woman's picture. Just fabulous.



5. Working Girl - Classic 80s feminist empowerment. Sigourney Weaver sizzles as the boss from hell and Melanie Griffith is just perfect. Amazing movie and perfect to take your mind off that dickie tummy.

Blogger virgin...

Hello interweb! I am about to leave my blogger virginity behind and enter the world of complete technological competence. Well...sort of. Anyway, where to begin dear followers? ( I have none yet, but hopefully that will change! ) Perhaps, with the latest book that I have read...I Heart New York by Lindsey Kelk. Okay, I know what you're thinking, chick lit...yes, I know...I am always dubious when stepping into this genre...but I am SOOO glad that I did! It follows complete Bridget Jones esque heroine, Angela Clark, who after getting her heartbroken at her best friend's wedding, she runs away to New York (because, well, where else would you go to reinvent yourself and become a free, sassy and single woman?!) Where she makes friends with some fabulous people, starts dating two hotties and gets a fabulous job as a blogger (see the comparisons?) for The Look magazine. It is a simple plot line, with deliciously romantic complications, but the book instantly makes you want to run away to New York (I know I have thought of NOTHING else, literally, since I finished the book...) There is something just so refreshing about NYC. It appears like the city could completely transform you, rejuvenate you, that you could literally become a new person - is there any other city that honestly makes you feel this way? Except, possibly London...(which is the closest thing I have...) I pray with all my might that I will make my way to the shiny Big Apple some day...Please? Anyway,here is the cover of I Heart New York, because I don't know about you, (and yes it's wrong...) but I normally go by book cover...come on, it is pretty...
