Fashion In Film: 4 Leading Ladies, 8 Iconic Films

Hello world,

How are ya feeling? Have you got these end-of-summer blues? Not me. I can't wait for a new and reproductive year as well as re-vamping my Fall/Winter style. Like Fitzerald says "life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall" and I couldn't agree more.

Each Fall we get the chance to make a new beginning, set some goals, prepare ourselves for the busy winter days. The idleness of summer has worn me out. It was a fantastic summer, I'm not complaining, but I'm not too sad to let it go. I'm so ready for hot tea, warm blankets, scarves, tights, Christmas, candles and cocooning. I'm all about that life.

Lately I've been watching a ton of old movies. I've got that nostalgia for those times that I never knew but I've only heard about through my parents' and grandmother's stories (RIP grandma <3). I'm so intrigued to delve into the past eras and get a taste of their aesthetic, music, customs, morals, ideas. Through these films, I've been admiring Deneuve's golden locks, Audrey's doe-eyes, Hitchcock's suspense, Irene Dunne's humor, Gregory Peck's handsomeness, Cary Grant's elegance, Simon & Garfunkel's music and so much more.

A Woman's View on the 50's classic: The Country Girl

Hello ladies and gents

Today’s post is going to be a little different from usual. There’s no discussing hem lengths and lipstick shades involved. This is a subject that is very dear to me and hopefully you can take something from it.

I just finished watching George Seaton’s 1954 drama “The Country Girl” starring Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby. Grace Kelly received an Academy Award for her stellar performance in the film.

The film explores the efforts of Frank Elgin, a struggling washed-up actor to rise to the circumstances when he finally lands a lead role in a musical play, directed by Bernie Dodd who strongly believes in him from the very beginning. The film also explores his relationship with his wife Georgie who is the behind-the-scenes supporter and the one who carries the burden of a secret that looms over their marriage and is the cause for her husband’s demise.
