Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

Heyy Everyone,

!Warning Contains Spoilers!

I went to see the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 the other day. I personally didn't like it at all. It ruined the books for me, since they put the last 3 books into the one movie, it made the girls stories seem rushed and incomplete. Some characters were missing such as Carmen's love interest Win and her step brother and sister. Lena's sister Effie wasn't in the last movie, however she was in this one. They left out Eric, so Bridget had no love interest through out the story. Lena's grandmother never comes to stay with them and Kostso doesn't come back before he finds out his girlfriend back home is pregnant, as well as Lena and her father never fight about her going to art school. Bridget goes to see her grandmother, but she doesn't pretend to be someone different, and she doesn't meet her childhood friend and fall back in love with soccer. Carmen never looks after Lena's grandmother, nor does she go through a hard time with her mother's pregnancy like she does in the book. Tibby's sister never falls out of the window, she doesn't make her movie about her mother or Bailey. All four of the girls do not go to the beach house or to prom. That was a really long and detailed way to say that a lot was left out. Since so much was left out stories they had to be altered and changed. We didn't get to see the struggles that the girls went through to in their fullest and the strong emotions that were in the books just wasn't there. I know that the movie is never as good as the books, but this was really disappointing. I am sure it would be a good movie if you never read the books. The acting was all really good, the only problem I had was that Alexis Bedel will always be Rory Gilmore to me. A lot of what she said reminded me of Rory. Oh well that's what I get for being a Gilmore Girl fanatic. The best part of the movie was when all the girls were together in Greece, it was beautiful there.

All four girls at the premiere. I love Blake and Alexis' dresses.

I'm not sure if this is from when the first movie came out. But I was having trouble finding pictures of Alexis and Amber so I decided to throw it in.

Many of you are aware of Post Secret, well now there is this really cool thing going on for teens where they submit their story in only 6 words. You can check it out here. Some of these 6 word stories are extremely cool, and really tell you a lot about the persons life. It is amazing what you can say with only 6 words.

Here is some that I thought up (though they really reflect my life completely): Stupid decision. Some mistakes. No regrets. The second one I thought up was: The boy didn't deserve her tears.

If you have any six work stories, and you feel comfortable please share them with me in the comments and/or send them in.

Anyway that's all for now.
Love,
Belle

Why am I covered in feathers?

Heyy Everyone,
So I went to the Rogers Cup, and it was a lot of fun. I now understand tennis, plus Nadal is very good looking so that did hurt either :P. I am really glad that I went.

Nadal changing his shirt... best part of the match. tee hee

The ball boys were HOT!

My cousin is here visiting from Alberta, which is why I haven't been able to post sooner. We went to the zoo the other day. It was a lot of fun. When I saw the giraffes I screamed, and everyone looked at me. It was pretty funny.

The butterflies were so beautiful and they would fly so close to you. It was amazing.

The Giraffe!!!

This picture kind of sucks because of the glass, but it was a boa, and when I saw it I was like "Am I the only one having a Harry Potter moment right now?" A lot of people turned to look at me and then laughed.

I am watching the Teen Choice awards as I write this, and I'm sorry but can I just say that Miley is very annoying. It's kind of bugging me. Personally I never really had a problem with her, but she is really starting to get on my nerves, and she is wearing WAY too much eye liner in my opinion. Also what is Lil Mama wearing, it's some pink and white shirt, that looks like she stole it from Little Bow Peep, (haha lame joke Lil bow peep... haha no okay). Um so the Jonas Brothers won the choice hotties award and they beat Chase Crawford!!! That is just so WRONG!!! If you are asking me that is.

Blake Lively at the awards. I love the colour of her dress.

Zac and Vanessa... the "it" couple

Leighton Meester

I went to the Breaking Dawn Release Party on Friday. My friends and I got there around 8:30 so we were the third in line, which was pretty cool. We drank Starbucks (read my Starbucks rant here)... yes even I found a drink I like. It was a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino. Anyway, I didn't get to make a shirt for the event, but I saw some pretty cool ones, that I envied. Most people were Team Edward YAY! I think I only saw two Team Jacob shirts. The bookstore had trivia and Jacob and Edward drinks, I tried the Edward, it was pretty good. It was a fun night over all. I dressed up as Bella, wearing skinny jeans, a white eyelet shirt (which is what she wore to Forks the first day, its on the first page of Twilight) and a black coat. Some girls went in Prom Dresses others wore black and red.

My book:

The button and stickers I won playing Trivia:

The button says I was bitten by Breaking Dawn and the stickers say things like My heart belongs to Edward Cullen.

My Mask:

Its hard to tell but there are red sparkles on my mask as well as a white feather.

My thouhts on Breaking Dawn:

!Warning Contains Spoilers! (lots of them!)

I finished Breaking Dawn ( I avoided the Internet until I did). Personally it is my favourite book from the saga, however Twilight is a very VERY close second, it might be a tie. I thought that it was pretty predictable. I knew from the minute Bella threw up that she was pregnant. Although that is never something I would have guessed before hand. It was interesting to read book 2 from Jacob's perspective, even though I hated Jacob. I booed when he came back. (I do like him now though but I still love Edward.) Book 3 was by far the most interesting and I wish I could see Alice's perspective in some places. The fight between the Cullens and the Voturi was inevitable, but I wanted more action. It was tense but disappointing because there wasn't really a fight. I hate how Bella was so controlled as a newborn, it made me mad. All we heard was how hard it was to be a newborn and how you could think of nothing but your thirst and on her first try she avoids human blood, with out being restrained at all. I didn't really like Bella's superpower. I know that it is in the end what saved them from the Volturi, and I guess it is kind of cool how she can control it now, turning it on and off. Over all I really enjoyed the book, I thought it summed everything up and didn't leave me with too many answers although I would like to know more about Renesme's life. I was glad when Jacob imprinted on Renesme. He could finally leave Bella and Edward alone, plus he was no longer sad, which is good. However I don't really understand how that happened. I mean he is a ware wolf/shape shifter, and he is supposed to hate vampires so how is it that he imprinted on a half vampire. Will they be able to have kids? The whole point of imprinting is to keep the ware wolf gene alive, if Renesme can't have kids (which she might be able to because she is part human) then why did he imprint on her. Also if they have kids, what will they be, Vampire, ware wolf, human or all three. How will that work. I get that Edward and Bella fell in love and Edward is a vampire and she is a human and all. So Jacob falling in love with Renesme works, BUT he imprinted which is a biological thing from being a ware wolf. So it is a bit confusing. I have to say though the one thing that has always bothered me through out the saga (and this may be because I am such a Gilmore Girl fan) is that Bella and her mother are supposed to have such a close relationship and yet she hardly sees/hears from her. Bella and Charlie seem to be a lot closer. Even though I have talked a lot about what I didn't like in the book, I thought it was really really good, and I would recommend it of course. I love Edward even more, he supported Bella through everything, and he really loves her. I also love the fact that Bella is a mother, and that you get to see how much she loves Renesme and that she got that human experience as well as a family. Her and Edward have their own little family within the Cullen's which is perfect, although it kind of sucks that Nessie (before Bella called her Nessie and was set on Renesme I refused to call her Nessie as well. In order to support Bella. I like Nessie's middle name of Carlie a lot better then Renesme.) is growing up so fast. Anyway let me know what you thought of the book.

I hope that everyone has a good week. Check back soon for my review (okay well thoughts) on The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.
Love,

Heyy Everyone,

So I have been pretty busy this past week. There was a Sweet Sixteen to go to, plus hanging out with my friends and shopping (although I didn't really buy much, I looked around a lot and figured out what I want to get, which I will do a post about in August) anyway the weather has been not so great lately. It has been raining the past week, and it only got sunny yesterday, and now they are calling for more rain tomorrow. Which really sucks.

David Beckham has been in town as well as all the hot Tennis players. The Rogers cup is here, and I am going tonight for the semi finals, not that I really know anything about tennis, but my friend is a tennis player and she invited me so I said yes because it sounds like fun. So I'll let you know how that goes.

I am going to the Breaking Dawn event on Friday, it sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun. There is going to be a band playing as well as lots of other games and activities. I am going to either make a t-shirt that is Twilight related or I am going to wear a costume. I am thinking of going as Rosalie, but I am not sure what to wear for her. I was thinking a wedding dress, for those of you who have read the books you will know what I am talking about. However I am not sure where to get one, unless I just wear all white and a veil. That might work. I am really excited I can't wait to figure out how the series ends. It should be a really fun night, and I will post whatever I end up wearing. Team Edward all the way!

This week I decided to feature another Canadian Designer: Chulo Pony. They have a really pretty website, with great graphics. Chulo Pony is the fashion line of Canada's leading privately owned record label Nettwerk Music Group. The label was founded in 2002. Here are some of my favourite looks:

Chulo Pony has some really beautiful unique jackets. I love this three quarter length sleeved jacket. It has an amazing silk screen print on the back. It would look great dressed down with jeans or dressed up with a pencil skirt.

This top is simple and elegant. It has great flowing sleeves, but the bow in the front gives your waist definition.
This dress looks like something Blair would wear. I love the head band as well.

This vest is different then other vests that I have seen. I love the double ties in the front, it adds an interesting detail.

I really like the collar on this coat as well as the tie in the front.

This tank top is really pretty. I love the simplicity of the lace in the front, with the pop of colour from the print in the back. It would look great with a pair of jeans or wide leg trousers. It would also look really good underneath a jacket.

I really like the print of this dress, as well as the colour.

This black lace dress would look great with red accessories. It is so simple yet cute. I love this dress. The ruffles and the fabric make it very feminine, and the perfect summer dress.

I think that this piece is one of my favourites. I love the silk screen print of the bird on the front as well as the shape of the jacket.


This jacket is the same as above, expect in navy. I love how the gold bird pops against the navy jacket. It is beautiful.

This is Anne Heche from Men in Trees wearing Chulo Pony.
If you would like to see more check it out here.

Hayden Panettiere got her hair cut. I think I like it long a lot better. What do you think?

Anyway that is all for me for now. I hope everyone has an amazing weekend.
Love,
Belle
