a pretty yellow nightgown dress

hello lovely,
a quick blog update for you :) i got this nightgown for 8 bucks on etsy! i love it! add a slip and you've got yourself a pretty cute dress. wedding this weekend and i couldn't be happier. can't wait to post the photos!

style envy: faye dunaway

hello lovely,

i've been inspired again. in the past 6 months i've watched bonnie and clyde twice and can't get enough Faye Dunaway. i can't get enough bonnie parker. i love the structure of her clothing in the film, the color palate, her accessories, and especially her eyeliner. i guess this is why i keep thinking about that mustard yellow sweater at forever 21 i passed on today. i may need to make a run to the mall tomorrow at lunch. don't tell niles. warren beatty is a knockout for sure, but i can't take my eyes off faye. she commands the screen and looks like a one chic badass. if you haven't seen the film, do yourself a favor.

here is my recent attempt to channel my inner bonnie, more to come i'm sure. 

ps.

if you see a necklace like the 

gold one she is wearing up there 

let me know. i love it!

style muse: Cher

hello lovely,
say what you want about Cher, but in the 1960s, she was hot. i mean really! she may have had too much plastic surgery now, but her style back then was amazing and worth much praise. here are some photos of the mod and fabulous Cher that i adore. she was just lovely.
