~The Perks of Being a Wallflower Review~

Hey guys! So I'm like a HUGE fan of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Like, you don't even know. I read the book last year and I was IN LOVE. I never even saw the film until yesterday tho ;-;

I LOVED the movie and I wanted to do a review of it!

So first of all, let's talk Logan Lerman. UNF. I think he was the perfect person to play Charlie for this film. He did a magnificent job capturing the personality of Charlie as the book describes him.

I wasn't very happy about some of the other character's, though. The actors who play Sam, Patrick and Mary Elizabeth looked nothing like I imagined them by reading the book. I was really disappointed about that. Now, don't get me wrong; I LOVE Sam in this movie. I just think she's much different than I imagined her. 

Another negative comment I have about it in regards to staying true to the book is that I think they didn't emphasize Charlie's relationship with Mr. Anderson as much as it does in the book. I think they made a much bigger deal about Charlie's relationship with Mary Elizabeth than they should've. 

One thing I loved about it was the set for the movie. I think that it was perfect! It was very realistic and detailed.

All in all, I love love loved this movie. I don't know if I'd like it as much if I didn't already love the book so much, cause I already had SO MANY FEELS about it before it even started. My favorite part was near the beginning when they were at a school dance and Sam and Patrick get all excited because the dance was "ACTUALLY PLAYING GOOD MUSIC!". I about DIED when Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners started playing. Ugh, that song. Like, I can't even. <3

I hope you liked this review and I hope you liked the movie even more<3

~Newest addition to my room!~

Evenin', chaps! How has everyone's second day of spring been? Mine's been fantastic! I went to apply for a job at Cracker Barrel today, and I have an interview on monday! I really hope I get the job, I love that place. 

I wore this adorable top. I posted my whole outfit on my Instagram!

Anyways, I just can't help but admire the newest addition to my bedroom decor. 

Lanterns! <3 They are so pretty and they light up the whole room. 

I have them framed along the side of my bed. I've been wanting some pretty lighting for my room for awhile, and these look great with the rest of my decorations.

They weren't expensive and they were easy to hang up. If anyone wants a to know how I hung them up/where I got the supplies, let me know in the comments!

DIY: Easiest shirt reconstruction!

I promised I'd post a DIY soon, so here it is!

I used a boring old turquoise shirt I never wear.

First thing I did was I cut around the collar so that it would be an off-the-shoulder top.

Next, I put the shirt on and marked where I want the bottom of the shirt to be cut. I marked on both of the side seams.

Then, I cut along the line on the BACK of the shirt only.

Next I measured from the front how many inches wide the shirt is from each side seam. 

After I measured, I marked where the middle was and marked a couple inches down on each side. This is where I will be cutting for the tie.

Then, I cut along the shirt like I did on the back, until I got to where I marked. I went down diagonally from the mark and did the same on the other side.

Lastly, I cut up the middle of the triangle and tied it off.

And here is is the finished product! I ended up going back and cutting it a couple inches shorter than I originally did and turning it into a crop top so that the tie would be longer. I love it!

I hope this DIY was helpful and I hope you enjoy your new, cute shirt!
