Looking Through the Rear Window...

So, like many of you, I'm a huge TCM fan, and I couldn't help but be inspired by the gorgeous fashion in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window". Amazing movie and fashion to die for!

I realized as I was looking through images at some of the fashion, that the costume designer for this movie was the brilliant Edith Head, whose lovely work can be seen in countless movies, including many of the Hitchcock movies.
So, for a bit of weekend inspiration, I thought I'd leave with some of my favorites from her work, including the exquisite fashion from "Rear Window" with the stylish and beautiful Grace Kelly.

(This suit is a lovely mint green, not beige as it looks in this image, but I couldn't find any photos where the color was true.)

(Such a gorgeous dress)

(The most famous dress from the movie)

(Audrey's Oscar Night Gown)

(Barbara Stanwyck in "Double Indemnity")

Not the greatest picture of it, but I love this dress from "A Place in the Sun" designed by Edith Head.

Hope you enjoy all this gorgeous fashion. Have a lovely weekend :)

(And if I'm feeling brave, I think I will have my first outfit post this coming week)

They Just Don't 'Em Like They Used To!!!

So, late TMC has been playing some of the most fabulous movies and I love watching them just as much for the plot as to drool over the amazing clothes. I thought it would be fun to post a few of my favorite outfits/dresses that came to mind from old movies!
Grace Kelly, "To Catch a Thief". The white dress she wears in this movie is absolutely stunning!


Audrey's famous Givency dress in "Sabrina". Perhaps my favorite of all!

"Roman Holiday", I love this chic little outfit with those sandels, too cute. Such effortless looking style.

Ingrid Bergman in "Notorious". Everything she wears in this movie is so gorgeous. Cary Grant of course, is always looking good.

I wonder if actresses were tempted to steal their wardrobe after they finished a movie, or if they were allowed to keep any of it. After all, it was custom made for them. I know I would want to!
Wishing you all a lovely Monday!
