Cannes 1960's

All these spring collections I've been looking at lately at H&M and related shops seemed so maritime and relaxing to me, with their blues and reds and stripes and dots, that they made me think of the Cote d'Azur back in the days. Of Cannes and 1960's french movie stars like Brigitte Bardot, Jean Seberg and others. I did make a quick search on the internet for some inspirational pics and they make we want to buy a full skirt 60's dress and skinny pants and striped sweaters now. I also would like to watch A Bout De Souffle now, which I haven' seen before.

How to marry a millionaire...

Right when I was rambling about, how they don't play old movies on TV anymore, they showed "How to marry a millionaire", which is definitely one of my favourite movies. I never payed any attention to the clothes though, so when I watched it this time, it was like new to me in a way. I liked Lauren Bacalls wardrobe best and, of course, Marilyn Monroes glasses are the best.

I was really determined to take some outfit pictures in the snow today, because the wheather was extra lovely with even the sun coming out for a few hours. Sadly, my camera died today, because it fell down while I was taking Ebay pics and I have to buy a new one now...

Dark Passage

Last night I was watching Dark Passage. I really enjoyed the sinister atmosphere of late 1940's San Francisco. And also the clothes. Too bad, they don't play these old movies that much on TV anymore. Before, there has been at least one within a week. I would watch more TV if they did. I was feeling quite under the weather lately and what's better to cure a cold than sitting on the couch, drink endless amounts of tea and watch an old movie?
