500 days of Summer

"This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story."


I LOVE this film, I love it's honesty. I remember seeing it with my (now ex) boyfriend and I can honestly say after we walked out the cinema I knew our relationship was f****d (I honestly can't think of a better word for it) and he probably did too- it actually whacked me round the face. Somehow though that hasn't put me off the film, I love it, the way it's laid out and designed is genius, I love Tom, I love Summer, I think they're brilliantly real together. Also I love Zooey Deschanel, she's adorable and Summer's style in this film is fab and I want that skirt!

So that's how I spent my valentines day, cuddled under a blanket eating icecream covered in Nutella watching one of my favourite films.
