Today (or yesterday, depending on what your timezone tells you) on October 17th, we celebrate 101 year from birth of one of the Old Hollywood screen goddesses, the unforgettable Rita Hayworth. And it's worth mentioning that October the 17th also marks the would-be birthday of Montgomery Clift, another one of my Old Hollywood favorites, but… Continue reading Celebrating Rita Hayworth: Cover Girl (1944)
Bits of Inspiration (Aka a Pile of Randomness) #2
I've been in somewhat of a slump regarding this blog recently - I'm thinking a bit of changing the concept in some ways or spicing things up a little on my little corner of the internet... long story short, this post is just to break my "blogger's block" and to share what's been inspiring me… Continue reading Bits of Inspiration (Aka a Pile of Randomness) #2
Style in Film: Mood Indigo (2013)
Have you seen the movie Mood Indigo by Michel Gondry? It's actually an adaptation of the novel "Froth of the Daydream" by Boris Vian. The film is quite surrealistic, quite weird, and visually, very pleasing... talk about a surrealistic world where you can wear as silly clothing as you want and not feel self-conscious about… Continue reading Style in Film: Mood Indigo (2013)
My Fall Reading List
Source: Tumblr I had a hard time deciding whether I should title this post "My Fall Reading List" or "My Autumn Reading List". Oh, the dilemma! You see, in recent times I've been using the term "fall" more frequently, yet I sometimes want to stay true to my love of British culture and use the… Continue reading My Fall Reading List
Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens…
The title of this post draws inspiration, obviously, from Maria's song in The Sound of Music. While I was making Sunday's post it occured to me that I could make a similar "moodboard" inspired by this lovely song. As I've said, early autumn has me thinking about simple pleasures and little things that make life… Continue reading Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens…
My September Moodboard
It's been a long time since I've done a moodboard post - precisely, I haven't done one since April, which is a long time. However, lately I felt inspired to make some collages that reflect my current inspiration (mostly fashion-wise, but also lifestyle-wise). For some reason, start of autumn always has me contemplating my personal… Continue reading My September Moodboard
“Would You Rather” Book Tag
Yes, something more light-hearted and fun for today's blogpost. I feel slightly pretentious answering a "would you rather" - after all I've been blogging for less than six months - but I haven't been feeling my best and wanted to do something fun, so I'll give this tag a go! Also, I've noticed that my… Continue reading “Would You Rather” Book Tag
120 Years of Alfred Hitchcock: Films I’ve Seen
On this very day, August 14th, we mark what would have been birthday of one of the most celebrated movie directors... *drumroll* Alfred Hitchcock! (Okay, I really suck at writing these introductions, I know). However, I have been looking forward to writing this post and marking Hitchcock's birthday for weeks, so I decided I just… Continue reading 120 Years of Alfred Hitchcock: Films I’ve Seen
A Wee Bit of Inspiration: Christine (1958)
Have I ever told you that I'm slightly obsessed with Romy Schneider and Alain Delon? Well, I am. That's why I've decided to finally watch Christine, their first movie together, during filming of which they also met for the first time. I'm not going to lie, I've been putting off watching this movie for months… Continue reading A Wee Bit of Inspiration: Christine (1958)
Postcards from Italy
A few days ago I returned from a trip to Italy and thought of writing another "travel diary" from the trip. I've already written this sort of post from my journey to Zurich, which you can find here. And because that one went pretty well, I decided to do another one, just with Italy this… Continue reading Postcards from Italy
