Somewhere Only We Know

I'm delaying watching the last Harry Potter movie until next weekend. It kind of makes me feel like I have another week left before my childhood officially ends (forget the fact that I've already graduated...from college.) 

In the mean time, there's the Winnie the Pooh movie that just makes my nostalgia go way up. When I saw the trailer, I thought the song Somewhere Only We Know, by Keane, was such a strange choice to pair with a movie that's so full of happiness and carefree-ness of childhood. And yet it makes so much sense. 

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Hats

I had saved a bunch of magazine ads from a Marie Claire I bought in Sydney, and it was at the time of the Melbourne Cup so of course, the focus was on hats - big, bold, and beautiful ones. My favorite is the one in the middle because it's so lively and still elegant. Plus I thought it looked great in the middle of the collage :) And since November is the transition from Spring into Summer in Australia, most of the ads were very summery and bright.

I first put these ads up in my dorm in Sydney and they bring back awesome memories of summer days in the city. So now I'm using them to decorate my room again instead of leaving them in a pile in my drawer. And while I was putting them together, I remembered my collection of tags, and found a use for them as well!  So now I've got a collage of work by some really great art directors and photographers :)
