Friday!

March 29, 2013  ★  6 Comments 

Happy Friday! Do you have any fun plans? I am going to be cleaning the hell out of the closets and getting some chores done around the house that have been driving me NUTS. Also, taking some things to the dry cleaner and we’ve got a vintage hi-fi record player that my husband is finally taking into the shop to get fixed. I think I must be full in spring cleaning, fix-it and reorganizing mode. The thing that motivates me is anticipation of that... Read More

PRADA x Wes Anderson

I love these new videos for Prada’s Candy L’Eau by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola. The lighting, sets and locations are killing me… in a pastel, swoon-y, Parisian dream kind of way. I also love that they feature a song one of my favorite musicians of all time, Jacques Dutronc. Which is cool and fitting–Roman Coppola had a pretty big Dutronc love fest with the soundtrack to his film, CQ. SO GOOD. The song in the Prada video is L’Idole... Read More

Marie Doro

I love these studio portraits of actor, Marie Doro, from 1902. Such a springtime goddess, fairy queen or wood nymph! Also, this first photograph reminds me a bit of Helena Bonham Carter as Lucy Honeychurch in A Room with A View. Marie Doro’s story is so interesting–it is a heartbreak that most of her films are lost or ruined. More HERE. Have a lovely week! HAPPY SPRING! xx ➔ SOME THINGS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED… ✚ Make sure... Read More

Films: Barbara Stanwyck

March 18, 2013  ★  3 Comments 

Since “Barbara” has turned out to be the theme of the day here–I thought it would fun to mention Barbara Stanwyck again. I brought her up last week because Portland’s NW Film Center is having an amazing Barbara-a-thon over the next few weeks. Lots of films, including: Baby Face, Double Indemnity, Stella Dallas and a Douglas Sirk-directed film I haven’t seen yet, There’s Always Tomorrow. I’m so looking forward... Read More
