Vixen Vintage: {Penelope}

{Penelope}

One of my favorite movies is back on Netflix Streaming! It's called Penelope, and it could best be described as a modern day fairytale that looks like a mix between Pushing Daisies/Amelie/Royal Tenenbaums.
Due to a family curse Penelope is born with a pig nose, and her family does everything they can to break the curse and protect Penelope from the outside world. It has a fantastic cast, and Penelope's wardrobe is darling, it makes me want to stock up on cardigans and colorful mary janes.
And as an added plus James Mcavoy and his stupidly blue eyes have a good amount of screen time.
A fun movie to watch, and it's rated PG so if you have young ones they might enjoy it too!
