I want ALL the Black Milk

   I have a new obsession and it's name is Black Milk. They are an Australian clothing brand that makes leggings, body suits, bathing suits, etc. They are glorious.

   I haven't ordered anything yet but I want to get myself a pair of leggings. I'm nervous because I've never really worn leggings before, let alone with a crazy print on them. The price is also pretty steep which is another factor as to why I haven't bought myself a pair of leggings yet; they cost around $75 USD which is crazy expensive. The quality is said to be amazing and fully worth the price tag.

   I've been lusting over Black Milk for awhile now. I am constantly scouring the Black Milk Instagram tag, as my friend well knows. I am constantly sending her pictures of a well styled pair of leggings all the time. The pair that I want the most are the Wallpaper Leggings. They look exactly like the iconic wallpaper in Sherlock and Watson's flat in the BBC's Sherlock. Sadly they do not sell the plain wallpaper leggings anymore but they do sell a shiny version! They also have the most amazing bathing suit in the world. R2D2. I know. You want it now too. I bet you are watering at the mouth. I can't wait to buy my first pieces from Black Milk!

Do you have any items from Black Milk? Is it worth the price? Or are they just not your style, let me know in the comments!

A Quest into the Land of Fairy-tales!

I'm the type of girl who loves all things fairy tales. I grew up watching Disney, reading fairytale retellings, and wishing that I could be a princess in general. (Funny story, my favorite Disney movies were Mulan and Tarzan, not actual princess movies. I feel like it was the life version of foreshadowing on the types of entertainment I like to watch and read.) Disney fairy tales are great with their happy endings but that's not how many of the original fairy tales ended. My favorite two examples of this are the original stories of The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty (a.k.a. Little Briar Rose.) If you don't know the real way these stories go I highly suggest that you give them a google. They end anything but happy. Most of the original fairy tales are very dark and gritty, not anything like the Hollywood versions that we know and love. 

I'm so intrigued by the real stories, and I find them very inspiring. That is why I have taken it upon myself to read all of the Grimm's Brothers and Hans Christian Anderson's tales. I have these two gorgeous leather bound books from Barnes and Nobles that contain all of the stories. My plan is to read at least one story a day starting tomorrow until I get through them all. I'm excited! The main way ill be sharing my fairy tale exploits is through twitter so make sure you're following me! (@YngAdventuress)

Whats your favorite fairy tale? Have you read any of the originals?

Top 5 Movies I'm Looking Forward to in 2013

As you may or may not know I am a giant movie junkie, so I usually know when good movies are coming out. 2013 is a very promising year in movies and I'm super excited for some of these! So now I present you my top 5 movies that I'm looking forward to in 2013 in no particular order (but lets face it, the first couple that I show you guys are the most important to me.)

• The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (or to those of us that read the books just Catching Fire) November 22, 2013- If you know me at all, then you know that I am a HUGE Hunger Games fan. I only wish that I had discovered the books sooner. And then the movie, I loved the movie so much. And then Jennifer Lawrence! UGH! She's flawless, the perfect Katniss! I loved pretty much everything about the first movie so I have faith that Catching Fire is going to be equally amazing.

• The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug December 13, 2013- If you haven't seen The Hobbit yet you need to. It was another amazing movie last year, one of my favorites. I am so excited to see what happens next to Bilbo and the dwarves. I've read The Hobbit so I know the gist of it but I'm wondering what they are going to do to stretch one book into 3 movies. And Martin Freeman, another flawless actor! (there's going to be a lot of actor fangirling in this post) I loved Martin Freeman in the BBC's Sherlock and as soon as I heard he was cast as Bilbo I knew that he'd be perfect.

(Sorry no poster or trailer yet)

• Star Trek Into Darkness May 15, 2013- Benedict Cumberbatch. Oh m gee Benedict freakin Cumberbatch. I was already excited for the second Star Trek movie but when I found out Benedict Cumberbatch was going to be playing the villain I became 98394% more excited. If you don't know who this beautiful man is then go watch the BBC's Sherlock and bask in his flawless acting skills. He is an amazing human being with cheekbones that could cut glass. Ok, but besides Benedict I'm excited to see Zachery Quinto and Chris Pine again. The story sounds promising and I loved the first movie. But seriously you guys....Benedict Cumberbatch.

oh my gosh, watching that trailer again made me get all kinds of excited!!!!

• Iron Man 3 May 3, 2013- I mean it's Iron man, 'nuff said! 

• Oz: The Great and Powerful March 8, 2013- The main thing that got me really pumped for this movie is the trailer. Its such a beautiful trailer and it looks as if the world building is going to be amazing! Just click the play button.

There are so many more movies than just these that are coming out this year that look amazing (Thor: The Dark World, The Great Gatsby, Jack the Giant Slayer, Man of Steel, Monsters University, The Wolverine, Ender's Game.) I'm excited to go see all these movies on the big screen, even if it means paying a steep price at the movie theater. What movies are you guys looking forward to? Tell me in the comments!
