The heart shaped birthmark

Tom says he loves the heart-shaped birthmark Summer has in her neck. It's actually Zooey's real birthmark! It can be seen in many pictures of her.

Since I'm just a little bit crazy about this movie, I made a small tattoo with the same birthmark shape as Summer/Zooey. This way I can remember that love is the main ingredient to do anything right!

Blue fairylight - Part 2

Continuing the fairylights saga!

After having painted the lights on the color I wanted, I was very satisfied with the result. Up to the point where they stopped working. Ouch! Besides having to buy new lights, I would have to paint them all over again. Bummer :-(

So I decided to buy those lights in the correct color from the start. It is very hard to find this exact shade of blue, even more outside the Christmas season (that was in July!)... -__-

But I did find them at Amazon. And they actually look pretty nice!

Blue fairylight - Part 1

Since we're close to Christmas, I will talk about the lights Summer's bedroom!

In the scene you can see in the background the lights on the headboard. I tried to buy one, but damn, it was VERY blue! I felt inside of a spaceship! Look at it! :-P

The lights of the movie were much softer, kind of a light blue ... I looked in many shops, but unfortunately I couldn't find this blue shade (seriously why is it so hard to find light blue fairylights??) XP

I thought about buying colorful cellophane paper and wrap every lamp with it, but I also did not find cellophane in this color, argh! It tried to paint it with glaze, but also failed. Since I am stubborn, I remembered about paint used for stained glass. And then it worked!

I bought some white lights, and I painted one by one with blue stained glass paint (gave two color coats to show up). I put the lights on the clothesline to dry from one day to another.

Look the final result after it was done! Better right? ;-)

Day ( 322 )

This scene is not in the final version of the movie. It would be the scene where they break down, and Tom is seeing Summer everywhere. It is with a striped blouse, and the same skirt that she uses in the 8 day. The blouse is from a thrift store.

The denim skirt I bought in Chicwish site.

The vintage purse I bought a flea store.

The headband I bought in an acessories shop.

And this was my version. Ready to torment the dreams of Tom! hehe. X-D

Bedside table

In the bedroom, there is also the bedside table, which appears in the scene where they fight. It's done in a light wood. One of them has a telephone, the other has some candles, a jewel box, one clock and a Provençal white lamp with a stamped dome.

I bought the bedside tables from a store of handmade items, it's made of real wood. I made the lamp myself! I bought an white lamp, very basic, and drew a branch pattern with birds on the computer. I printed the art in acetate and fit it inside the dome. The drawing only appears when I turn on the light. Nice, isn't it?

Mobile Bar

The mobile bar appears in the scene where they get back to home, from the pub. Basically it has some golden rim glasses, some blue glasses, a few drinks and an ice bucket. The mobile bar I bought at Tok Stok!

It was a bit hard to find places that could sell me individual glasses in the colors I wanted. I made a composition with glasses of liquor, wine, water and whisky. It turned out beautiful.

But the apple of my eyes is my ice bucket, it is EXACTLY like the movie! OMG! I bought the ice bucket on Etsy! It is soooo cute and kitsch! X-D

Bonus Item! I bought the same drink she has in the bar. You can see better there at the end, in this scene:

The drink is a Belvedere, a luxury Polish vodka! It is produced in small batches to maintain quality. Besides being a delight, the bottle is beautiful!

Day ( 290 )

This is the outfit she wears when they break up at the cafeteria. A gray blazer with a plaid pattern. A high-necked green moss blouse, a tight jeans, and a caramel boot. The Mexican pouch is also there!

The blouse I bought at Hering.

The blazer I bought on a thrift store.

The pants I bought at Levi's.

This boot bought a country clothing store at the Mall. The boot is very beautiful. I like basic boots!

Here is the final result! I felt like eating pancakes. Or not. :-P

Day ( 285 )

These clothes appear very quickly on the second scene they are in Ikea. It is a brown chamois coat, long sleeve blue blouse , and black pants.

The blue blouse I bought at Hering.

The coat is not chamois, but is brown. I bought at a thrift store.

The black pants I bought in Riachuello.

I couldn't find a headband, so I made one myself, in the same colors!

This is the look! I made a sad face to match.  ;-)

Decoration of the day 259

This is when they arrive from the bar, kinda fighting. The apartment is more organized, but it looks more dark than normal (I think it's to reinforce the fighting theme). But we can see a framed picture and her mobile bar. There are also bird hooks. Below there is a table with a tiny frame(?!) and a box.

In this scene it's easy to see the lights on the top of the bed. There is also the side table with a candle, an oval box, a round clock and a white lamp with blue details.

In the next weeks I'll talk more about the mobile bar, the pictures, and the lamps!

Day ( 265 )

This is the outfit she wore in the funny scene on the park: "Peeeniiiiiis". The style is preepy. A white shirt, blue-gray vest, tie and a gray skirt.

The shirt I had. I bought at a business clothes store.

The wool vest was a bit more difficult. It was summer, and I could not find many options. I found one which was gray in color, but I decided to dye it right. After the FAIL that was my first attempt to dye the pants, I was a little afraid, but this time I did right! Yey! \ o /

The skirt I bought at Aliexpress.

The result looked like this! I had to learn how to do the tie and everything! Now wait a minute there, I'll scream in the window! Peeeniiiiiis! Ooops! :-P
