LOVE: Jean Shrimpton

It's sad to admit, but I didn't know who Jean Shrimpton was until I read Patti Boyd's Autobiography. I love that not only is she just stunning, but she's also an icon from an era and scene that I wish I could have been a part of. Please enjoy a few of my favorite images of her.

LOVE: The Graduate

I watched this movie in its entirety for the first time the other night, and I have to say that I am SO disappointed by the selection of images from the movie that are available. The outfits, make up, hair, decor EVERYTHING that makes any movie, let alone this movie, beautiful and interesting are so grossly understated in the images furnished by Google. Gravely disappointed, Google.

My recommendation- -watch this film and burn it all in your memory.










I die for this hat!!

Things that inspire me/LOVE: A Single Man

I fancy myself a bit of a "movie person." Not in the "Film Student" kind of way where one might make others' enthusiasm for movies seem trivial because they haven't seen a really profound silent film from the 30's....but in a way that I like to look at things that are beautiful. Ironically, I don't own a television (by accident, at first, but now it's on purpose), and I frequently play movies on my laptop computer while I work, clean or otherwise carry on at my apartment. It's good company while you're working at your house, and/or it's a nice treat at the end of a long day.

Given my enthusiasm for fashion- -I'm a bit amazed that it's taken me so long to see a movie directed and co-written by Tom Ford, but I'm glad that I took the time to see "A Single Man" this weekend. Not only was the storyline beautiful, but every detail of every shot of this movie was just impeccably thought out, executed, etc. etc. etc. I haven't seen a movie this beautiful in a long time, maybe ever.

Thank you, Tom Ford.
