Vintage Sunglasses

I LOVE 1950's sunglasses. I cannot say no to a pair of cat eye sunglasses ever! I posted pics of my lastest finds, as well as pics of Marilyn Monroe, Lana Turner & Ava Gardner all making sunglasses look good.

Guess Who? Vintage Starlet Photos

Can you name all these vintage starlets? I had to look twice as some of them have a different hair color or are just really young!

Ok, so here are the answers: Starting from the top is the very young Barbara Stanwyck, then we have a brunette Carole Lombard, next is Rita Hayworth in her teenage brunette days, and lastly is the young Lana Turner.

Vintage Wedding Dress Inspiration

Wow, I'm so behind in my blogging! I will get back on track eventually. There's been so much to deal with lately! Anyways, I've decided to go with 1930's for my wedding gown. For fun I thought I would do some research and see what my favorite vintage ladies wore on their big days. Which is your favorite look? From the top we have Jean Harlow and Paul Bern in 1932. Ginger Rogers and Lew Ayers in 1934. Betty Grable and Harry James in 1943. Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra in 1951. Lana Turner and Bob Topping in 1948. My favorite dress would have to be Lanas, but you can't beat pin up girl Betty Grables hair with that huge flower. Love it.

Vintage Clothing I Want

One of the theaters downtown is playing film noir all this month, which is great because I'm able to see my favorite classic movies on the big screen! My boyfriend and I went to see The Postman Always Rings Twice the other night, and I loved it. What I loved even more though, was the clothing Lana Turner wore! Every outfit was breathtaking. She just looked so beautifully put together in every scene. 1940's fashion at it's best.

Vintage Starlet of the Day

The fabulous Julia Jean Mildred Frances Turner, otherwise known as Lana. Speaking of marriage, Lana was married 8 times! I would love to see pictures of each wedding dress she wore, what a collection she must have had.

Here's a useless fact: Lanas eyebrows always had to be drawn on. When her eyebrows were shaved off in the late 1930's (as most actresses were) for some reason, hers never grew back!
