What's your favorite dress you ever posted here? Also favorite book and movie soundtrack?

Ooh, tough questions. My favorite book is definitely the Lord of the Rings trilogy, followed very closely by Harry Potter. I played the violin for seven years, so I have a very soft spot in my heart for movie soundtracks. My all time fave would have to be Howard Shore’s score for Lord of the Rings, especially the Fellowship of the Ring. 

I would probably say either this for some Belle realness:

or this for WORLD DOMINATION
