Dr. No Opening Title Sequence & Gunbarrel HD



While we're on the subject of all-time great films (that have great style) I wanted to share this article from October's Vanity Fair about the 50th Anniversary of the start of James Bond: http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2012/10/fifty-years-of-james-bond  A great read for Bond fans and film enthusiasts alike.

New “Hitchcock” movie poster with Anthony Hopkins, 2012 release date announced Starcasm.net

New “Hitchcock” movie poster with Anthony Hopkins, 2012 release date announced Starcasm.net I'm so excited to hear that the Hitchcock movie will be coming out in theaters this fall! I love the way Hitchcock's women dress in his films, and find a lot of inspiration in their style (not to mention how well done and innovative Hitchcock's work is, even aside from the fashion). I guess with Grace kelly starring in several of his films it's not hard to be stylish. Another reason to check out the film- the amazing Sir Anthony Hopkins will be playing Hitchcock himself!

The Curiosity Shoppe at Target

I went yesterday and checked out some of the shops at Target. I am really into the Curiosity Shoppe- It's so fun and has that nostalgic kitsch that just gets you!- Well it got me anyways. Maybe it's because I hail from small town midwest where the longtime tried and true eating establishment is the Wigwam Cafe (est. ca 1930's). But I couldn't enough of the dishes, towels and other home accessories that pay homage to the quirky and kitsch tourist stops that one can find all along a road trip across this great country (i.e: Blue Whale, Catoosa, OK, Cadillac Ranch, Amarillo, TX- not to mention the classic Quintessential all-American diner!) http://www.target.com/c/the-curiosity-shoppe-shops-at-target/-/N-56c86

Tory Burch Sp '13

My favorite show so far (I haven't taken a look at all of them yet though....) is definitely Tory Burch! I love this beautiful wheat print- and the neutrals mixed with this bit of yellow. The whole collection is the perfect mix of sophistication and eclectic fun. For more beautiful photographs from the show check out the Tory Burch blog: http://www.toryburch.com/blog/torys-blog,default,pg.html

DVF [through Glass]

Here's a very interesting perspective into New York Fashion Week- which just wrapped up its Spring '13 shows on Thursday: through the eyes of the designer Diane von Furstenburg herself as well as some of the models and others from behind the scenes! Thanks to Google's new amazing Glass technology (which you can see the designer and some of the models sporting in this video) we can experience fashion week from a completely new perspective!
