Summertime

I recently watched David Lean's 1955 Technicolor Katharine Hepburn film "Summertime," (released in the UK as Summertime Madness - love that title).  Technicolor films are some of my favorite to watch, especially when they star Rossano Brazzi. This film has everything you need: Hepburn, Brazzi, and Venice.  Watch Hepburn's transformation from a lonely, old-fashioned Ohioan into a chic Italian beauty as she falls in love in the midst of Venice . . . 

 

 

 

MISSONI PHONY

I am sorry but I have been going a little happy over Forever 21's recent items that have had a tad of vintage and current "Missoni-ish" flare to them.  If you just imagine you can really put together some Missoni-inspired looks.  I sure have . . . 

Cotton-Spandex Bandeau Top by Featured designer Petro Zillia~ 

What you can't see in the picture is the sparkle of the purple lurex yarn knitted in between the multi-stripe Missoni like colors !  

Only $11.80 !  

It also comes in other great 70s themed colors ! 

Wear it under either of these tops below for a layered look. 

(These look much better in person)

Especially this one

!

RICHARD BURBRIDGE

Richard Burbridge recently shot Polish model Magdalena Frackowiak for the latest issue of Vogue Italia. The colors and dreamy tulle are driving me lacy crazy.  I've always loved tulle but never could come up with a way to utilize all its greatness.  Maybe I'll create a hair net?

 

 

BOMBAY

 I recently watched El Guincho's new video "Bombay," directed by Nicolás Méndez.  
If you haven't heard or seen this video you should watch and listen. 

My friend Susan of Candy Ropes noticed something interesting.  

An image from this 2010 video looks exactly like 

an image from designer Sophomore's 2008 spring look book :
