I’ve been binge-watching Netflix as a way to relieve my stress and anxiety lately. Movies have the power to transport a person into a different world where they can forget their worries at least for a few hours. It’s funny, but I find watching foreign language movies works 2 folds better because you tend to put more focus on reading subtitles and trying to understand the story line. Movies are a great diversion for me when I’m sad or anxious about something or when I want to shut down my thoughts.

Apart from stress release, watching foreign movies also helps to understand different traditions, learn a new language, and explore new objects and landscapes. After watching the Japanese TV show “Good Morning Call” I’m eagerly on a hunt to buy a Kotatsu- a heated wooden frame covered by a futon/blanket, upon which a table top sits. I’ve also managed to learn a lot of Korean and Japanese words which would definitely help me when I travel.
Here are all the movies and shows I’ve watched recently and liked:
- Blind Date (French movie) – very cute love story
- Don’t Blame the kid (Spanish movie)- super fun romcom
- Atelier (Japanese TV show) – on fashion merchandising; a bit similar to Devil Wear Prada.
- Airlift (Hindi movie)- Based on a true story
- Pink (Hindi movie)- drama
- Piku (Hindi movie)- one of all time favorite movies
- You Lie in April (Japanese Manga)- Revolves around music
- It’s ok its Love (a Korean TV Show)- talks about mental illness, a beautiful love story, and the background scores and songs (most of them are in English) are the best! I watched it on Viki as it’s not available on Netflix
I’ve mentioned a few of my previous watches here

Light blue and white are one of my favorite color combinations! I’ll have to check out Blind Date. A French love story sounds perfect to me!
I love the soft blue of Chambray. It is one of m favorite fabrics. Those boots are a perfect accessory for this dress!
Loved your outfit, specially the dress shirt and the boots. You look beautiful too
This is really pretty and beautifully styled. I’ve never quite mastered chambray, but I’ll never stop trying!
I love everything chambray! I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to wear dresses again, I’ve missed that so much this winter!
Your dress looks good in a sneaker but it also looks fine with that boots. That cute purse was so chic.
I love shirt dresses. They look very chic and great with belts and boots.
It looks so good on you, I love the colour! And those boots just complete the ensemble!
This outfit is so pretty! I love Netflix. I’ll add the movies you mentioned to my list.
Your outfit is absolutely gorgeous and stylish. I really love it.
I have a hard time watching foreign films because of reading subtitles the whole time, but that doesn’t always deter me from watching them. Sometimes you actually find some that are worth the effort to watch.
You look fabulous. Love your outfit.
Love the boots & that’s unusal for me. The entire outfit goes well, and your photos are like a fashion show … thanks

I’m so very sorry about the anxiety and stress. It’s so tough when it’s happening. Sometimes it helps a little if I put on something pretty like your shirtdress. It’s absolutely adorable!
Thank you for the Netflix recommendations. I tend to watch a lot of Netflix these days as well, I am stuck on The Good Wife series. Really good, I recommend it.
This outfit looks absolutely adorable on you! You look so stylish, comfy and casual all at the same time. I strive for that daily! I find Netflix helps me reduce my stress as well. Sometimes it’s nice to just sit back and chill out a bit.
My first thought was: oh, the shirt dress is so pretty and then I saw the snake boots: love at the first sight :))).
