Your Own Mama Mia Moment

I have a confession to make - I've always been a fan of ABBA.  Oh not the costumes which I have always thought were tacky and I'm sure in hindsight they do to, but the music.  They're melodies were ones you always found yourself singing along with on the radio.  So when the movie version of Mamma Mia came out with Meryl Streep I had to see it.  Ok so Pearce Brosnan's singing leaves something to be desired, overall I really loved the film.  But along with the ABBA songs I've always enjoyed mixed up in there, I fell in love with the beautiful scenery and locations in Greece.  Villa Donna was a set that I can't help feel used this hotel as inspiration.  Villa Fabrica is for rent so if you're looking for your own Mamma Mia location in a little bit better state of repair this would be it.  Enjoy.

Originally a winery and then a corn mill, the Villa Fabrica has been converted into a lovely and unique villa that you can rent for a large party or divided into small apartments.  Decorated in a minimalistic style the views are the main attraction here.  That and location, location, location.

Wardrobe Updates: Python Print Pumps

Like everything else I love they’re probably out of stock now, but I love this look of the python with the black trim.  So sexy and sophisticated.  Tonight is movie night and these shoes has inspired me to view one of my favourite caper movies.  "The Thomas Crown Affair" - either one will do, but tonight I think we'll go with the newer version.

The Thomas Crown Affair - 1999

 An American heist film directed by John McTiernan. The film, starring Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo and Denis Leary, is a remake of the 1968 film of the same name.  The film's success prompted plans for a sequel starring Brosnan. In January 2007, it was reported that the sequel was in the works.  However, no such sequel has been produced.

Rene Russo and Pearce Brosnan in "The Thomas Crown Affair"

This is one of the sexiest films for both of these actor.  Their both complete knock outs and Rene has never looked more beautiful.  I'd love her wardrobe from this film and would love to look half as good as she does in her nude scenes.  She was 45 when she filmed those scenes.  Something to aspire to.
