Style Inspiration: Marilyn Monroe

Yes, yes this seems so obvious. I am really getting a lot of inspiration from Ms. Monroe lately though. Everyone has their Marilyn that they like, I like her most with longer hair and an all around more natural look. This morning I was outside on the porch sans makeup with my hair a mess, it was a bit cold so I was wearing black leggings and a big chunky vintage sweater. It reminded me of her last photo shoot. I went from feeling a mess to feeling chic and effortless. I have been wanting to find a sweater like that for ages, but I suppose my vintage men's varsity will have to do for now. So right now my causal look is late Marilyn.

The Passenger

I really like the movie The Passenger. Besides having a very poetic story, the movie has great costumes. I like the nameless girl's style very much, it is so free spirited and slightly random. The first outfit she wears in the movie with the mix of florals really stands out to me. Her style reflects the mood of the movie very well, the sense of urgency, the outfits being the way they are really make sense. Being on the run through Spain, you do not have much time to decide on clothes to wear, all the same her outfits are strangely inspiring like the rest of the movie. 

 

Style Inspiration: Audrey Hepburn in Green Mansions

 It may have been a box office failure but girl of the rain forest Rima's style did not miss the mark in Green Mansions. 

Beauty Note: Carrie Nations' Look

Teenage rock superstars, their lives were that of a dream but that dream turned into a nightmare. Through it all though, they always looked like true vixens.

I love Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, it is one of my favorite movies. I love everything about Beyond the Valley but most of I love it for the look of the Carrie Nations. The big hair and fab makeup, you can't help but root for Kelly, Pet and Casey even when they toke, deceive and cheat. 

Here is what you need to be a doll without the drugs, sex and crazy partying.

Beauty Note: Mod Lips

Pale lips, they were all over the 60's. They nicely offset the dark eye makeup worn at the time. Now that the mod look of the 60's is back a lot of women are searching for the tools to get a perfect twiggy approved look. So many times I see girls look like ghosts though by using their concealer over their lips to get the "mod look" they strive for. This is a big no-no, believe me I tried it myself, it is horrible. For those perfect pale lips use Mac Lipstick in the color Hue. Hue is a perfect light lipstick without making your lips disappear, it has a soft pink tint. Smashbox also has a very nice pale lipstick, Mod Chic Lipstick.

Style Inspiration: Francoise Hardy

The tough one of the French 'ye-'ye girls, Francoise looked low maintenance but still incredibly stylish.
