Things I'm Afraid to Tell You

image

Meg from Mimi + Meg invited me to join the group of bloggers that are participating in wave 2 of a little rouse called “Things I’m afraid to tell you”. The idea started with Ez’s post and Jess’s post where they brought in some reality into a world where creativity and inspiration rule. Are we human? Yes. Do we make mistakes? All the time. Are we perfect? Definitely not. But, the name of the game is striving to be the best version of yourself. I hope you have some fun reading the things I’m a little afraid to tell you.

Fashionable Films-- A Series.

     

image

Films are such a wonderful way to eject yourself into a lifestyle, a time period, or character. This series is my ode to the beauty and mystery behind stylish females from decades of story lines and fashion statements.

Angelina Jolie & Johnny Depp are quite the pair in this cat-and-mouse drama, which took place mostly in Venice (what a backdrop!). Angelina’s character Elise dresses in feminine fabrics, elaborate jewelry, and classic lines. For about a week after the film I dressed exclusively in romantic up-dos, art deco jewels, black turtlenecks, and red lipstick. Check back for more on this series of Fashionable Films.
