Funny Face

Don't you just love her?
She is a classic fashion icon.
She gave the little black dress life.
Sometimes I wish I could wear puffy dresses everyday like they used to in the good old days without people starring at me like I am a complete nutcase.
And those hats, I absolutely love them. My friend thinks they look like grandma hats but I find them so elegant. Its such a shame I could never wear them. I would probably look like a complete idiot to most people if I would wear a hat like that.

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg was a musical from 1964. Its about a 2o year old auto mechanic, Guy, and a 17 year old Geneviève Emery, who fall in love but are faced with many obstacles. On the night before Guy has to leave for a two-year tour of combat in Algeria, he and Geneviève make love. She turns out to be pregnant and has to make a difficult decision, wait for Guys return, or accepting an offer of marriage from a wealthy diamond merchant.

Even though this is a good story, my favorite part is the style of dressing. I love the girly dresses, the bold colors, and the hair filled with volume.

Is it just me or is everything on modcloth really cute lately?
These were some of my favorite items...

A Strange Painting

I bought this dress about a year ago. I was a little skeptical about the dress at first, I thought it was too bold and I wouldn't be able to pull it off. However it is now one of my favorite dresses.

Academy Awards 2010

I always watch the Academy Awards mainly to see what actresses wear to this event. It is a night they get to wear their glamorous gowns on the red carpet. These were my favorite dresses of the night.

I thought Demi Moore looked absolutely stunning with this dress. I loved the way it was nicely structured on the top and how it softly falls in beautiful ruffles below the waist.


I thought Anna Kendrick looked very whimsical. Some people were commenting about the color or her dress not suiting her because it was very similar to her skin tone but I thought it was very pretty. I loved the way the dress fell with a lot of movement. Personally I thought she looked gorgeous from her hair all the way down to her shoes.

The red wine color dress by Donna Karen made the stunning actress Penelope Cruz stand out. There is something about that color that just intrigues me. She looked very elegant.

The Notebook - Rachel McAdams

I love vintage inspired dresses. One of my favorite decades is the 1940s. When I saw The Notebook, I fell in love with the way Rachel McAdams dressed. I especially loved the way she dressed in the beginning of the movie. I thought it was very cute, playful, simple, and feminine. That is one of my favorite types of styles, when something can look very feminine, but also be able to look playful, simple and fun. That is probably one of the reason why I love vintage inspired clothing, it reminds me of old, playful, simple times :)

What I love the most about mod fashion from the 1960's,is that its fun, playful, and girly. I don't know if you could tell by the pictures, but I am obsessed with big collars. I one time bought the same shirt in three different colors just because it had a big color. I guess its a little ridiculous but I just find them so adorable.
