1950’s Party Fashion

I love old movies and the fashion from the first half of the 1900’s.  Our society has become so casual.  I love vintage style and wish we had opportunities to get dressed up for a night out.  Men look so sharp in suits and ties and women dressed up in a frock that flatters her figure just makes for a pleasant time.  Don’t you agree?

Millie Mott’s blog is truly visual serendipity!  I would love to go out dolled up like some of these.

One of my favorite movies is “White Christmas.”  I love the style and costumes.  My favorite is the green velvet dress (below in the middle) that Betty Haynes (Rosemary Clooney) wears at the party where Judy and Phil announce their phony engagement.

I love Phil and Judy (Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen) together.  This is just a classic representation of how people dressed when they were out in public.  So classy!

Irish Hockey Christmas Wish

There’s nothing quite like an Irish Hockey team lip-syncing to Mariah Carey.  I hope you enjoy it.
 

Merry Christmas!

Color Trends for 2011

I found on the Pantone site the list of Pantone Color Trends for Spring 2011.  There are some fun colors coming!  They even have a PDF that you can download for free ( Pantone PDF .)

I LOVE color!  Granted, Pink is not my preferred color.  But Silver Peony is such a delicate shade, that I might have to admit to liking a pink!  The color palate is quite a mix of bright and muted tones that promote versatility.

I think Honeysuckle, Russet and Silver Peony would transfer beautifully to satin fabric.

Can’t you imagine a New Year’s Eve party wearing a gorgeous tailored satin shirt in one of those colors paired with a nice pencil skirt or slacks? Who wouldn’t look and feel great?!

Here are a few other fun images.  Definitely go check out the Pantone site and let me know what you think about the palate.
