Blue Valentine










Unfortunately, I haven't been able to see this yet. But I can't wait to.

I like Ryan Gosling's little guitar and funny voice. Oh, and Michelle Williams' dancing.

I'm quite the fan of Michelle Williams. Though this admiration is only recent, and mainly on account of the beautiful outfits she's been rocking out in lately.










The sumptuous mix of Chloe, Chanel, Oscar de la Renta and Azzaro, she's regularly spotted in, teamed with that platinum elfin crop makes her look so effortlessly, not to mention enviously, chic. PLEASE someone....buy me her wardrobe!

They weren't always particularly glamorous, but they were beautiful and 'brutally honest' as the critics would say. Often 'too brutal' in some cases, but that was the whole appeal.

For the past ten years Corinne has been battling against a severe brain tumour. The NHS treatment she received had been unsuccessful and her health was deteriorating...fast. Friends and work colleagues (inc. Kate Moss) formed the Save the Day campaign to raise money for Day to get specialist surgery in Arizona. Limited edition prints of Corinne's work were auctioned off to help pay for her trip.

Corinne made it to Arizona. She received her treatment just before Christmas last year. However, sadly it has been found today that Corinne Day has died.

Here are the various (and my favourite) works of Corinne Day:
