Top 10 Romantic Movie Moments...

On blah days (like today), nothing tops curling up on the sofa with a can of boiled peanuts, a personalized concoction consisting of equal parts Sprite & Cranberry Juice, a soft blanket, and a stack of movies.  
Here's a list of my favorite romance flicks (in no particular order), along with a memorable quote from each film.
Let the movie marathon ensue!

Slumdog Millionaire

"Jamal: Run away with me.

Latika: And live on what?

Jamal: Love..."   

Elizabethtown

"I'm going to miss your lips.  And everything attached to them."

-Claire Colburn

Pride & Prejudice

"Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you... I had to see you."

-Mr. Darcy

Garden State

"I don't want to waste another moment of my life without you in it."

-Andrew Largeman

The Princess Bride

"As you wish."

-Westley

Breakfast At Tiffany's

"You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."

-Paul Varjak

Australia

"I sing you to me."

-Nullah

Beauty & the Beast

"Ohhh, isn't this amazing / It's my favorite part because, you'll see / Here's where she meets Prince Charming / But she won't discover that it's him / 'Til chapter three."

-Belle

Stardust

"You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine."

-Yvaine

Titanic

"Rose, you're no picnic, all right? You're a spoiled little brat, even, but under that, you're the most amazingly, astounding, wonderful girl, woman that I've ever known..."

-Jack

Obsessions

{The way my Goldendoodle (Nahla) dotes on her ball.}

{The deliciousness of Bourbon mixed with the guiltlessness of Coke Zero.}

{My "On Safari" Romper.}

{A hot fudge sundae from Kilwan's.  They put a layer of marshmallow fluff under the whipped cream!}

{The understated simplicity of this gorgeous centerpiece at the Four Seasons, West Palm.}

Flashback: San Francisco

{Chartering a private sailboat through the Bay provided a unique perspective of the Golden Gate Bridge.}

The second leg of our California road trip (click here to see Napa Valley) was San Francisco.

In spite of being colder and foggier than I planned, I thoroughly enjoyed this segment of the trip.

We saw city highlights like Pier 39 and Alcatraz, shopped in the famous fashion district, ate truly delicious cupcakes at Kara's, and still managed to squeeze in an award-winning musical.

San Fran was not as relaxing as Napa, but it compensated with a truly amazing atmosphere.

{Taking a snapshot with a friend at the base of curvy Lombard Street.}

{The landscaping on Lombard was incredible.  I've never seen so many beautiful plants and flowers!}

{We alloted a night to see Wicked at the Orpheum.  What a phenomenal theatre/show!}

{After our sailboat tour, a seal pup beckoned us back to shore.}

{Since half our trip was spent in foggy conditions, this is the best Golden Gate Bridge snapshot we could get. :( }

{I've never seen so many Louboutins as I did shopping Union Square!}

Spring Sparkle

I planned on saving this leather skirt for a Bond Girl shoot 

(you know the look: black stockings, ankle booties, dramatic cat-eye, etc...),

 but I got impatient and the weather was too gorgeous for all-black.  

I feared the netting on this green BCBG tank might limit it to beachware, so I was pleasantly surprised at how well it complimented my Dolce Vita heels.

Now that the weather in Florida is beginning to sizzle, I'm having a lot of fun mixing casual tanks and tees with polished pieces to create a more sophisticated look.
