Poppy .... I am about to go out to lunch with my daughter and grandkids but when I get back and have some time I am going through my DVD collection and find 10 movies that are glambo .... as I said to the Non-Blonde I wish someone would come out with a super Chic Flick full of wonderful clothing , houses, makeup and all that jazz.
ReplyDeleteI have a good collection of DVD's as I HATE (yes Hate again ) ironing and adore watching movies so I combine them and bingo - ironing is done and I am in a happy place :)
OK ... off to lunch!!!
OK .. back from lunch.
ReplyDeleteMarie Antoinette - Sofia Coppola's luxe movie- when you are done with the dresses take a look at all those Laduree cakes!!!
Pret-A-Porter... Sophia Loren in that black dress and huge red hat alone!!
Midnight Lace .. Doris Day in London in the fog and what fabbo 60's clothing!
8 Women - from France and what wonderful dresses - all 50's with Catherine Deneuve and the divine Fanny Ardant !
Cabaret - oh boy Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey dancing .Notice her green nail polish - when the movie came out we all painted our nails in wild colours!Rare then.
The Great Race.... just look at the delicious clothing Natalie Wood wears - oh she was so pretty.
All About Eve.... oh boy ! Marilyn Monroe thrown in too! Wow the dresses and coats.
How to Marry a Millionaire .... best dress ... Marilyn's... but Lauren Bacall and Betty Grable were exquisite too.
Devil Wears Prada ..... just look at Meryl's bags ... let alone what she wears!
The Fifth Element .... why? I thought the costumes were so, so clever and you know who designed them? Jean Paul Gaultier -who should have won an award for it IMO.
*Poppy ... I just love that bracelet with the big gold coin that Grace Kelly wears in Rear Window!! So Elegant .
I LOVE the women and Now Voyager so much!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful post x
Thanks for all the comments--I can't tell you how much fun I had searching for stills, GIFs and clips.
ReplyDeleteLady Jicky, I'm putting all those movies on my "to watch" list. I've seen Cabaret, All About Eve, How to Marry a Millionaire, and The Devil Wears Prada, but I'd happily watch them again.
And oh yes--I painted my nails green in 1972 after Cabaret came out--then went black, then silver glitter. Very edgy!
Oh Poppy you are around my age - green , blue etc nailpolish was so "game" then!
ReplyDeleteI have some ironing and going to watch Modern Milly today ... I do have it in my collection but I wanted to add movies that you did not mention :)
Have you seen the modern version of The Women ? You know ....they panned it but its not so bad! Of course the original is the best but I find the re-make pleasant.
gorgeous selection ... what do you think about Ginger Rogers' feather dress from Top Hat - for me one of the most breathtaking movie gowns of all times
