Rushing...


sunnies: Rayban Wayfarers * top: Urban Outfitters * cardigan: mom's hand-me-down * purse: vintage * skirt: Urban Outfitters clearance *
shoes: Converse


One of my favourite movies is Rushmore (next to Garden State). I went downtown to buy a copy, went into the local American Apparel while I was at it. It really is such a problem that there is an American Apparel in almost every neighbourhood, oh how it tempts me so....
In any case, Rushmore is what I was talking about. Isn't it just a fantastic movie? I really can't get enough of it. Wes Anderson is a genius and this movie takes the best slice of cake on the plate. there is something so intoxicating about Jason Schwartzman wearing a red beret, nerdy glasses, and braces, not to mention his character's extreme genius. He isn't like any normal kid, and that is what makes him such a special person. He befriends a 50 year old divorced man with a penchant for giving power to the underdog, and he falls in love with a lovely and caring school teacher. Even after trying to court her and failing out of Rushmore Academy, he still had the power to write an awe inspiring play and have the affection of a beautiful young girl.
If you've seen this movie, you know what I'm talking about. And if you haven't, what are you doing still sitting and reading this? Run out to your nearest video store and pick up a copy. Now here are some photos to wet your appetite...


not a picture from the movie, but a nice one nonetheless...

I love youroutfit! Especially the denim skirt! My mother always says that I look like I am about to go running when I wear converse shoes. You don't & you look amazing :)

Jason Schwarzman is really owning those clothes. His outfits accentuate the extreme genius look you were talking about. Plus, I haven't seen him that well-shaven in a long time. Have you seen Shopgirl? Dirt all over his face.

I love Jason Schwartzman. He's such a great actor. I love Rushmore (anything Wes Anderson for me!).
Max has to be one of the most eccentric, but lovable characters ever!

Chelsea Rae said...

Your outfit is great, and I love Rushmore too. Every time it's on TV I just have to watch it because its devastatingly funny in this really weird way. It may also have something to do with my slight crush on Jason Schwartzman, but who knows!

L.I.N said...
