Alla Nazimova

All images taken from fuckyeah1920s

There are not enough words to describe all the beauty and detail of these photos. All I can say is, I love Nazimova.

P.S. I like to think that in the second picture her capes becomes a snake. Is it just me?

Hole in the Wall

 

Dress - 70's vintage from SpanoVintage

Last week we've been to the night Hole in the Wall, organized by our friend Glen, in Mornington Crescent. It was lovely to see friends I haven't met for ages, seriously ages, and dance to good music. And I remembered to ask my boyfriend to take pictures! I seem to always forget recently, like I don't have a decent picture of New Year's eve... The dress I'm wearing in the pictures I got dirty cheap on sale from etsy and it's so cute, I love it!

I'll try to take more pictures of my outings from now on~

Barefoot In The Park ~ 1967

Today I've watched this darling comedy Barefoot In The Park . I just adore Jane Fonda, no surprise there, and she was enchanting in this film. She starts off by wearing a perfect baby blue swing coat with fur trims and I fell in love. The 1st and last picture were the best I could find while being too lazy to screen cap myself. All pictures were found on google, so credit to whoever produced them on the Internets. And then Jane is wearing this mustard turtle neck with brown cord high wait trousers and I feel like I will not be able to fall asleep until I reproduce the exact same combination.

Anyways, onto the film rather than the costumes, it was such a sweet and amusing story, I was laughing out loud by myself. A young couple of newlyweds facing the first complications of living together combined with family and neighbour problems, while still growing up and discovering themselves. I highly recommend it for a good laugh and eye candy, and I'm not only talking about the clothes (I look at a 31 year old Robert Redford and find myself sighing endlessly...).

Elle magazine Nov 1954 vintage scans

A few more scans from a 1954 French Elle magazine. I absolutely adore how French vintage magazines seem so much more natural and easy to copy, when compared to American ones. On the cover you can read "an easy fashion, out of reach of everyone". The Stop advert is pure love.

2013 outfits in iPhone pictures

2013 Was a good a year and many things happened so fast. I visited Paris, Rome and Japan (my 3rd time! hurray!). I moved houses. I changed jobs. I got my hair cut short. I keep buying more and more vintage. I started blogging again almost at the end. 2013 was really rather fast for me. Or maybe I was just too busy to notice the months gone by. I had fun, thank you. Let's make 2014 even better!
