STUFF I'VE PINNED ON PINTEREST IN JANUARY

One great thing about Pinterest is it's one of the best places to curate content. The boards are awesome to pin stuff to like style inspiration or home decor inspiration. I tend to use it to pin stuff I like e.g. anything Marvel related or a ton of Alexa Chung pictures because her style is amazing.

So I thought I'd show you a few of my favourites images I pinned this month.

Lily Collins is one of my favourite actresses at the moment. So much hair inspiration here I have super long hair down way past my waist and I really want to cut my hair this short.

The 70s are back in style for spring. Although as I'm quite short flared trousers don't really suit me at all my legs look like they're drowning in material but I love this 70s style dress from Topshop.

I love white walls and I love brickwork so this is basically my dream bedroom.

And this one is included because it made me laugh way too much. Cards Against Humanity is the best game ever.

I'm thinking of making this kind of post a regular feature on my blog as I always use Pinterest.

If you guys have a Pinterest account put the url in the comments and I'll check it out!

THE MOVIE POST | THOR THE DARK WORLD

So I waited till Thor The Dark World was released in the US to write my review. I live in the UK so luckily the film came out on the 30th October.

Have to say there was a lot to live up to after the massive success of The Avengers & Iron Man 3 didn't really truly accomplish that task.

This is where Thor The Dark World is a success. It is a refreshing take on the Norse God of Thunder's adventures in Asgard & beyond. A far funnier and more realist approach to his trajectory and no less Shakespearean than the first Thor.

Thor The Dark World is basically about Thor trying to save the universe from the darkness the elves of Svartalfheim headed by Malekith intend to plunge it into. In order to do this he must enlist Loki's help and thus brotherly bonding and a road-trip ensue.

Thor is brilliant. Chris Hemsworth portraying him as a young man coming to terms with the fact he's becoming King and trying to protect the nine realms and those that he loves; Jane.

Sif & the Warriors Three have more of a role as does Heimdall & Darcy. Selvig is hilarious running naked around Stone Henge talking about the Convergence.

But the one character who steals every scene he is in is Loki. Tom Hiddleston is Hamlet like. He gives the character depth and complexity mixing vulnerability with indifference, anger and biting sarcasm. I've been a long term fan of Hiddleston's for about 5 years now and it's great that he's been given such an amazing and intelligent role as Loki.

The movie overall is funny, sad and there are so many twists and turns that you find yourself asking what is going on. If you like Game of Thrones you may like the tone of this film. The ending is particularly interesting and I wonder how Thor 3 will play out if that movie does indeed happen (nothing has been confirmed). The two after-credits scenes are intriguing and set up Thor's placement in the next Avengers film The Avengers Age Of Ultron and Thanos' role in terms of the Infinity Gems.

I really enjoyed this movie and can not recommend it enough, so if you haven't gone to the cinema to see it yet, go watch it!
