One of my favorite things to do in London is to go to the Victoria and Albert Museum. They regularly have tremendous exhibitions, I’d say some of the best in London. The last time I went there, they had the Anthology of Hats by Stephen Jones who is a prominent hat designer from London. From April-September they will be having an exhibition on Grace Kelly showcasing 50 outfits (35 of which are haute couture) plus jewelery, accessories and the famous original Kelly Hermes bag. I believe this is one of those exhibitions that could very much be a once in a lifetime opportunity!

A friend of mine suggested I watch a film noir special on saturday night tv, and I actually missed the documentary (silly me) but I did happen to catch the most part of ‘Lady from Shanghai’ featuring one of my most favoured actresses Rita Hayworth. She wore one amazing hat especially, it was a tilt hat with alot of wonderful veiling matched with gorgeous suits and gowns! Then after seeing some of the latest fall trends one being the return of the 40s gal, I realize I’ve been inspired to step my game up and really develop my inner 1940s film noir femme fatale! Dolce and Gabbana, Sonia Rykiel and Louis Vuitton really take the biscuit this season! I’m gonig to take m vintage foxes, very high shoes, ruby, royal blue and emerald hues matching with the perfect black! Alnog with my tilt hats and some very rouge colored lipstick. Oh I cant wait until it gets cold!
As soon as I saw this look from Dior Resort 2010, I instantly thought of ‘Birds’ the classic Alfred Hitchcock film. Its jsut got tht smae 60s nolstagic feel to it…I’m in love! Oh did I mention the amazing leopard print?!? LOVE
