I always come back...

Life is so fast, wow! I left you like a year ago almost. I missed you, it was time to come back! I feel so out of touch with all this new blogger technology! Anyone else out there feeling a little Jurassic? Maybe it was Instagram that killed my blog...you can find me HERE if you'd like. I try to balance the selfie to life ratio, but hey I'm a girl. Deal with it! So here's a few photos that have inspired me recently, tell me, what's inspiring you?Let's be friends again okay?

Girlie Tomboy Chic

How amazing does she look? I can't tell if the photo is new or old (though I am leaning towards new), and all the pieces are so simple. It is just how she wears them. Personal style goes a long way. Like they say in Boogie Nights, "Wear what you dig."

I Got Stripes.


Every time I put on stripes I sing the Johnny Cash song, "I Got Stripes." I don't know why, but it just feels good. You should try it too. Ps. The lipstick I'm wearing is a Revlon original 1950s color that is still being made-Cherries in the Snow. My grandma still wears it, and so what better endorsement do you need really? Even better, they make a matching nail polish. Go crazy cuz its a bargain!

Style Inspiration:Kim Novak in Bell,Book and Candle



 
 
Even though it just started getting truly hot here in Hollywood, my mind is on fall. And the biggest inspiration for me right now is Kim Novak in the film Bell,Book and Candle. Capes,cowl necks and some perfect capri cigarette pants are the perfect take on a modern witch in this 1958 classic.Her use of basic silhouettes and strategic color showcase her beautiful face and leave this film looking very stylish and modern.The thing you will notice is that her clothing is very modest but also very sexy...less is more,if you will. For example a boat neck top hides the cleavage, but showcases the collarbone and brings your focus up to her beautiful eyes. I've also noticed that a well fitted boat neck is every woman's friend regardless of cup size.The costumes in this film were done by Jean Louis of Marilyn Monroe "Happy Birthday Mr.President" dress fame. He also did some great dresses for Marlene Dietrich in the 1960s, but it's Marilyn's dress that everyone remembers the most.The one thing you should take from this film is that a good fit goes a long way. You don't need a lot of items to look polished,just the right ones.Its really a building block wardrobe with some fun pieces, like that amazing leopard cape (shown above).

Venice Beach Adventures


Adventures in Venice Beach. You never know what you may see or do!

Velvet-Thrashin

It's no secret I love Sherilyn Fenn, but seriously how good does she look as Velvet in Thrashin? Pretty rad to see her in full 80's regalia. Proof of her perfection and flawless face for sure.
