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.

Un Jour D'Avant Premiere - 11e Festival du Film Francais a Athenes

So me and my loyal bff Catherine as well as my teacher of french, went to see a movie dedicated to Jean Paul Gaultier and all the backstage of his SS 2010 Haute Couture collection which had as a theme the cinema and especially old cinema actresses like Marilyn Monroe or Rita Heyworth or Greta Garbo etc. And the big thing of the night was that Jean Paul Gaultier was actually THERE and it was such a pleasant surprise to see him, since he's an iconic figure in the fashion industry. A couple of celebrities were there, as well as the Minister and the Ambassador who all gave little speeches for this special event.

It was such a nice experience to be there, and the movie was great after all. It was a 60' documentary on the hard work behind the catwalks and the glamorous fashion shows.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to take some really good shots but you can see a couple of them below.
