All I can say is these shoes are HOT. Really hot. Look at the back view, which kind of remind me of my vintage Terry de Havilland plats. Yep. And I promise you'll be able to wear them until you either can't wear heels anymore or they fall apart because you've worn them to death. I promise. Sergio Rossi "Karung" heels are available at Colette (of course they are).♡
This is kind of a cool bag. Based on the theme for this Undercover collection, it's supposedly the future and the forces of evil have taken over. So...what would happen to your Chanel quilt if this was true? Would the double-C clasp turn into an all-seeing eye? And would your bag look like you've been dodging evil forces? It's like if a comic strip character came to life and you got to see what happened to her/his bag, if you know what I mean. And I love that kind of creative vision. Silk and leather bag, metal clasp, metal and silk strap. Available at Colette.♡
This feels very strange. I know people eventually pass on. But when an icon whose body of work is so incredibly substantial finally passes, it's a very strange feeling. In my family, movies are KING. So I had seen most of her films before I was even in school. Especially movies like "Giant" with Rock Hudson and James Dean, whom I adored from the age of 6. And I do love that movie so much. It's really incredible. But when I think of Liz Taylor, I think of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with another hottie who's passed, Paul Newman. She is so gorgeous in this film. Almost alien in her beauty and perfection. Another film I think of immediately is "Cleopatra", just because the sets were so over the top and her outfits were so rad and it was kind of strange to cast her in that role. There are too many films to think about. The one film that is very much Nancy Girl is "Butterfield 8", a saucy hip story about a naughty tough-and-hot girl. Eddie Fisher is in this film, too. And like the whole Brad Pitt scandal, Liz stole Eddie away from another big star, Debbie Reynolds...(Debbie/Jennifer, Eddie/Brad, Elizabeth/Angelina).
I mean, this entire blog is about style, but more so it's about being the girl (or boy) you want to be. Elizabeth Taylor LIVED. She lived her life the way she wanted no matter what anyone else thought. I mean, she was married like EIGHT times! And unapologetically. But she really took her craft seriously. It's pretty amazing. So here are some bits of "Butterfield 8" and some others. My mom and I always say these old movie stars were such a unique breed. There aren't any Liz Taylors anymore. Totally.♡
I hadn't seen the images of America's Top Model winner from last season (not the new season which is on right now), Ann Ward. I was so happy she won. Yes, I finally started watching the show and I love seeing the famous creatives...create. Anyway, I received my Vogue.it email update with the most amazing pic by Ellen von Unwerth with a girl who looked like a doll from the 60s. And I knew I wanted to showcase it for a Makeup Monday post. So...after looking for it, finding it and then realizing THIS IS ANN WARD....it's her Vogue Italia shoot as part of her winning prizes....I was amazed. It is a ma zing. Plus, the video is equally gorgeous. This is what doing a magazine should be like...imagination and vision! And, the make up is GORGEOUS. (PS I hope we see a ton more of Ann Ward. And I wish there were a million more shoots as magical as that one. I'd post them all the time.)♡
