This week's inspiration

[Or, I haven't quite finished sewing so the blouse pictures are for next time]


The image above is from a copy of 'Woman's Journal' from 1927, which my boyfriend's mother dug out the attic for me. It features hundreds of pages of gorgeous illustrations which will no doubt provide fodder for this blog for months to come.

The opening sequence from Cover Girl, posted by Anna Neah, left me dumbstruck - I can't believe I haven't seen this movie!

I got lost in the Movie Title Stills Collection - only click on this link if you have nothing to do for the rest of the day! The film noir titles are particularly wonderful.

And this just in! Non Plus One, a nouvelle vague-inspired promo for Opening Ceremony's new collection, shared by Anja over at Clever Nettle. I'll never get bored of Breton tops. Ooh and there's a very quick flash of cutester Tennessee Thomas.

That's all for now, I'm going to get back to that blouse...

  1. Those 1920's fashions are gorgeous and timeless. You could wear almost any one of those today and be VERY fashionable!

  2. Tilly, I tried replying to your comment on my most recent blog post but your comments are not linked to an email address. Boo! Anyways, thanks so much for the kind words on the reorganization and the suggestion of the recipe binder! That's exactly what I am going to do! I am so excited to get started. Another commentor had a similar suggestion and even linked to another blog that offers free template print outs to help organize. Check it out if you'd like. Keep up the amazing sewing! I love the stuff you are doing!
