Hall of Fame

Annie Hall remains to be one of the most fashionable and most iconic characters in Hollywood.

And only Diane Keaton had the personality, style and gravitas to pull this character off.

She has so many films that are on my fave list. Who can forget her other Annie - from the "First Wives Club," and Erica from "Something's gotta give." Diane gave these characters both depth, humanity and humour - qualities that made them unforgettable.

Now that she's gone up to the Hollywood in heaven, that's what she'll continue to be.

Unforgettable.

MMFF: My Meyers Film Fest

Continuing the habit of playing a film in the background while working, today's choice of films were some of my sort-of-oldies-but-goodies-faves.

The first one is "Something's Gotta Give," which features wonderful acting from the great Hollywood duo of Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton.

The second one is "The Intern," which features an unusual pairing of 2 Oscar winners - Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.

While the credits were rolling for "The Intern," that's when it hit me.

Both films that I watched today were both from Nancy Meyers!

Gosh! She really knows how to make films that are intelligent, relevant and feel-good. 

What Nancy Meyers film should I watch next?

LFLTAT: Hall Pass

"Annie Hall" is truly a breakthrough and an unforgettable film.

Aside from sweeping so many awards in 1978, including a Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress award in that year's Oscars, another thing that "Annie Hall" is known for is the film's fashion.

Diane's "masculine-feminine" dressing became a trend after the film came out, and even decades after. Even until now, this film has inspired that kind of androgynous and carefree way of dressing.

Something that I was able to recreate for less than a thousand, thanks to sale pieces from Kashieca!

The key piece is this plaid, high waist pair of pants. The waist is cinched and the legs are wide, which is something that looks very 70s.

The top is a boxy button down with a plaid detail on the sleeves. That perfectly echoes the fabric of the pants, in a very subtle way.

Together, this outfit actually rang up to less than P700! And actually, if I wanted to, I could've found a matching pair of shoes for less than P300.

But I'm happy with the ensemble as it is, so the shoe will have to be a pass for now.
