Let them eat cake.




A watched the movie Marie Antoinette. She was the French Queen around 17th Century. She became Queen in such a young age. Well the story revolves around the french court or so they say the Nobles of their time. The story is quite tragic because she was unhappy from the very beginning leaving her hometown to marry a total stranger who first did not appreciate her, yet she adapted on the way of leaving in the french court. 


She has everything a girl could ask of, Money, jewelries, clothes, and she partied all night. But you see  material things is not enough for someone to be happy. So she had an affair with a person who truly admire her more than her husband. Yet I know she already fell in love with her husband, you can see that she really cares for him and for her children.


Even though her life revolves around material things and earthly living, she has this motherly touch to her children. 
The movie actually revolves on their extravagance of  living, gambling, being a shopaholic in terms of everything, clothes, jewelries, and their gigantic hair dresses. For me, Renaissance Era was the most fashionable era ever. Look at their clothes, their hairdresses and shoes and their jewelry. :)


Things I liked about movie other than the story was, the dresses, the feathers, the hats, the jewelries all of them are in pastel colors that why they caught my attention and lastly, THE PASTRIES!! The cakes, the macaroons, the cupcakes and they rest of cute little pastries that can be paired with tea. AAAAH! I can call that heaven! :)
