Best of 2012






Moonrise Kingdom, Wes Anderson

Este ano foi cheio de filmes incríveis e não me fartei de deliciar com a sétima arte mas quando vi o Moonrise Kingdom, realizado por um dos meus realizadores favoritos, não consegui resistir à deliciosa imagem e à terna história contada de uma forma tão ingénua que me fez derreter o coração. Sem dúvida o favorito (ou um dos favoritos) deste ano.

This year was full of amazing movies and the seventh art was just delightful but when I watched Moonrise Kingdom, directed by one of my favorite directors, I couldn't resist the beautiful picture and the sweet and naive history that just melt my heart. Definitely the favorite movie (or one of the favorites) of the year.



Pastels

Eu não sou propriamente daquele tipo de pessoas que corre atrás das trends mal elas saiam nas lojas. Gosto de me manter fiel ao meu estilo e de ir incluindo as tendências que realmente gosto no meu guarda-roupa da forma mais sábia possível. Não gosto que o meu guarda-roupa tenha prazo de validade mas a verdade é que nesta Primavera/Verão não consegui resistir à loucura dos pastéis. Essas deliciosas tonalidades estiveram sem dúvida muito presentes no meu armário e tenho a certeza que mal o tempo quente volte, essas cores vão voltar a sair à rua por aqui.

I'm not exactly a part of those group of people that run after the trends right on the moment they are available on the stores. I like to be faithful to my personal style and to smoothly and wisely include those trends I like in my wardrobe. I don't like my wardrobe to have an expiration date but the truth is that this Spring/Summer I couldn't resist the pastels madness. These delicious shades were definitely a very present part of my wardrobe and I'm sure as soon as the warm weather arrives, I will take those colors back to the streets.



Girls

Esta série não é daquelas séries fáceis de gostar logo após ver o primeiro episódio mas quando da-mos uma segunda oportunidade, torna-se das melhores séries de sempre. Girls é para mim um dos marcos mais importantes de 2012 e a Lena Dunham uma das pessoas mais influentes. Passada em Nova Iorque e com histórias quão as quais nos podemos facilmente identificar, Girls vai voltar já no início de 2013 e não duvido que seja também uma das séries favoritas do novo ano.


These series are not those kind of series we can easily like on the first episode but when we give it a second chance, it becomes one of the best series ever. Girls is for me on the most important marks of 2012 and Lena Dunham one of the most influent people. It takes place in New York and the stories are really easy to relate these days. Girls is getting back in the beggining of 2013 and I'm sure it will also be one of my new year's favorites.



Alt-J

Não foram formados em 2012 mas foi este ano que lançaram o álbum que mais ouvi. Quem passou tempo comigo sabe que o An Awesome Wave foi uma presença fulcral no meu Verão (mas não só) e que as músicas foram cantaroladas nas mais diversas situações durante meses e meses sem parar. Quem ainda não ouviu que o faça agora mesmo, não esperem por 2013.

They weren't formed in 2012 but it was in this year that they released the album I listened to the most. Those who spent some time with me know that An Awesome Wave was a central presence in my summer (but not only) and that the songs were singed in the most different situations for months and months without stoping. Those who haven't listened to it yet, do it now and don't wait for 2013.



Kling

No ano passado talvez teria dito que a melhor loja era a Modcloth mas este ano o meu coração e os meus olhos não conseguiram resistir ao encanto das colecções da Kling cujos conceitos tiveram tudo a ver com as coisas que gosto como é o caso da série Twin Peaks. Esta loja espanhola foi sem dúvida a melhor de 2012 para mim.


Last year I would probably say that my favorite store was Modcloth but this year both my heart and eyes couldn't resist the charm of the Kling collections that were very inspired in things I love such as the series Twin Peaks. This spanish store was definitely one of the best of 2012 for me.



Little Henry Lee

Uma das coisas mais importantes para mim num blog é a fotografia e a Jessica sabe melhor do que ninguém como encantar as pessoas através dessa arte. Este ano descobri o Little Henry Lee e tornou-se automaticamente um dos meus favoritos de sempre pelo gosto incrível da Jessica (quem é fã do Nick Cave sobe logo na minha consideração), pelas maravilhosas fotografias analógicas que ela partilha e pelos pequenos detalhes da sua vida que nos fazem sonhar.


One of the most important things for me on a blog is the photography and Jessica knows better than anyone how to catch people's attention through that art. This year I discovered Little Henry Lee and it became right away one of my favorites ever because of the amazing taste Jessica has (how can I not like a person who loves Nick Cave?), for the amazing analogic photos she takes and shares and for the little details of her life that make us dream.



Kiss Me Quick

Não foi este ano que descobri o blog da Carina e da Carla nem foi este ano que se tornou um dos meus favoritos mas a verdade é que com a quantidade absurda que blogs portugueses que andam a aparecer (e que eu apoio fortemente) é importante distinguir aqueles que nos trazem algo de novo e fresco. Como já disse anteriormente, a fotografia num blog é das coisas mais importantes para mim e as meninas do Kiss Me Quick sabem melhor do que ninguém como o fazer. Por isso tudo e muito mais elas merecem um cantinho especial nos melhores de 2012.


It wasn't this year I discovered Carla's and Carina's blog and it wasn't this year that it became one of my favorites mas the truth is that with the ridiculous amount of portuguese blogs appearing (and that I strongly support) it's important to distinguish the ones that bring us something fresh and new. As I said before, the photography on a blog is one of the most important things for me and the Kiss Me Quick girls know better than anyone how to do it. Because of that and much more they deserve a special spot on my favorites of 2012.


I wish you all a lovely 2013!

Love,

Marie Poupée In Pictures



Now that the pastels are everywhere I tought it was a good idea to share with you this movie where you can find pastels and baby colors everywhere. Marie Poupée is a french 1976 movie by Joel Séria.
It approaches the dangers of innocence and the sickness of human mind in a really exceptional way! 
After I watched this movie I felt just like when I was 13 and I saw The Virgins Suicide by Sofia Coppola for the first time. A very intense mixing of feelings! 
This is not a movie everybody is going to like but you got to love the image and the details Joel used.








Ps: I was interviewed by the lovely Preziosa! Check it here!

Roman Holiday In Pictures


01

Roman Holiday is a lovely 1953 film starring the magnific Audrey Hepburn and the very handsome Gregory Peck. It is one of the most amazing, lovable, funny and heartbreaking films ever! If you like Audrey Hepburn, I'm sure you like this film. She looks really beautiful (as usual) and her smile makes us want to smile with her! Truly inspiring in many ways!

Blue Velvet In Pictures

Since I'm such a huge cinema fan I decided that from now on I'm going to start posting some pictures of my favorite films monthly. I tought that starting with "Blue Velvet" was the best choice because the rain outside (yes, it's finally rainning) makes me want to watch all David Lynch's films and I always categorized "Blue Velvet" as a rainy day film. If you never watched it, well, change that! It's amazing!

Pierrot Le Fou In Pictures

Photobucket

Probably you don't know but the film Pierrot Le Fou by Jean-Luc Godard is my all time favorite film. Cinema is one of the things that inspire me the most, I love to be inspired by new different stories and peculiar characters. Marianne Renoir (played by Anna Karina) is one of those characters that really inspire the way I look at life and the way that I put my clothes together in the morning.

Pierrot Le Fou is a 60s movie full of color and is truly important in the history of french nouvelle vague and cinema in general.
Probably, if you never saw any Jean-Luc Godard's movie you'll find this weird, nonsense and you'll give up after a few minutes of watching it, but I still recommend it to you. Trust me when I say that this is pure genious and I'm sure you'll love everything Marianne wears.

Gainsbourg In Pictures

Last week I saw the film "Gainsbourg - Vie Heroique" and even tho I was waiting something much better I really liked the image and composision of the film but mostly I loved the wardrobe. Jane Birkin's clothes were really well chosen and I loved how powerful looked Brigitte Bardot. If you want a bit of inspiration you really need to watch this film. Gainsbourg is a genious.
