I have never seen this movie but will make a point to. I agree, there are some movies I watch that make me want to walk a little taller, apply the red lipstick, and take on the world. It sounds as if this may become one of them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618921461540105577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-24983636491674818632010-10-21T14:37:40.109+13:002010-10-21T14:37:40.109+13:00I just found your blog....and I LOVE it!

I love when Gwyneth wears the beret and even her polka-dot umbrella is glamorous!<br /><br />I'm just starting to transition from intense exercise (on and off for about 5 years) to more gentle forms like yoga, pilates, walking and dancing...which is how I found your blog. Doing intense cardio and weight training was making me feel worn out...and yoga just feels so good.<br /><br />I look forward to reading more of your blog!Aninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-25909920173451390612010-10-13T05:53:27.037+13:002010-10-13T05:53:27.037+13:00So funny- I really liked this movie too!

I love that Notre Dame is ever so softly in the background of this picture.<br /><br />Janet, I agree with everything you've said. Chic is about the person underneath the outfit. That doesn't stop me taking care of clothing and grooming though. Some people you see have all the elements of chic style, but are the complete opposite of chic.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-57014946795078270182010-10-08T05:44:16.015+13:002010-10-08T05:44:16.015+13:00hi fiona,
i was thinking about you and this post ...hi fiona,<br /><br />i was thinking about you and this post last night and i want to say something else...and this is just my opinion. being chic has nothing to do w/money, looks or fashion, i believe being a truly chic woman has everything to do with self-confidence. looking chic and being chic are two different things. i'll take the latter any day.the gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-86986959202812116462010-10-08T02:16:34.277+13:002010-10-08T02:16:34.277+13:00I recognized immediately where Gwyneth was in this...I recognized immediately where Gwyneth was in this photo, Notre Dame in the background!

Vane...Charlene, I think you will enjoy this movie.<br /><br />Vanessa, sadly the book is a fictitious part of the movie. It does not exist mores the pity.<br /><br />Hostess, Gwyneth and Blythe are so classy (even though the word classy is not classy). Thank you, you are too kind with your lovely comments.<br /><br />Cherie, and thank you to you as well.<br /><br />Janet, you're making me blush.<br /><br />Hi Dot! How is the grandchild?<br /><br />Ping, hello. I love the mentoring part too. And Sally/Candice's gorgeous house including the wardrobe which was actually another room.<br /><br />My dream is to have a really big walk-in wardrobe with just a few clothes hanging in it, like the ads for walk-in wardrobes.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-70422337871441381212010-10-07T20:15:40.602+13:002010-10-07T20:15:40.602+13:00Oh I got to excited so forgot about the mentoring ...Oh I got to excited so forgot about the mentoring part. I love how Candice was mentoring Gwyneth how to get what she dreamed of. Also, I like Mareille in her book Women, Work and The Art of Savoir Faire. She mentions how trouble she was to see not enough women mentoring in the business world. That's why this movie is so dear to my heart:) That's Fiona for the reminder.Ping's Nom Fiction Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061023398119329886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-39040220900591133412010-10-07T15:11:10.185+13:002010-10-07T15:11:10.185+13:00I love this movie too and watch it when I need a s...I love this movie too and watch it when I need a some motivation in those areas you mentioned.
