Reel on Repeat: Love Story

Sorry I've been away for so long. Its partly because I've had no camera, and partly because I've been too lazy to type anything. End of summer writers block, I guess. But here I am again with another of my favorite movies.


Love Story is so amazing and so iconic for so many reasons. One of which is the chemistry between Ali Macgraw and Ryan O'Neal. They are so convincing as a bickering, yet loving couple and are kind of the precursor to Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake in the recent Friends With Benefits when it comes to witty banter. 

While I love the synopsis of this movie (i.e. poor girl falls in love with rich guy only to find out that they can't spend their entire lives together), what I really love is the fashion and the iconic shots in the movie. I mean who doesn't love the ravenesque mane that Ali MacGraw has? Or the preppy chic 70's sweaters that Ryan O'Neal pulls off perfectly? And my favorite scene, the one where Ali and Ryan play in the snow like children, is too cute. 

Love.

The trench, the sweater, the blazer, the scarf. What else is perfect?

I want Ali MacGraw's hair. Its my inspiration.

All in all, if you're in the mood for a tearjerker filled with funny moments and fierce fashion, then you should definitely watch Love Story.
