vintage superheroine

A few mornings ago I happened upon This Old Life, and with mouth nearly agape I scrolled though posts of this adorable woman wearing what looks like vintage 1930s clothing, only get this, she MAKES these clothes. Either from scratch or from clothing she has or thrifts. Um, yeah. Makes the stuff you see here, like even the freaking gloves. I can't even begin to imagine having that kind of talent and skill. And should we talk about her hair? Pulling off just about the hardest hairstyle to accomplish, ever? Oh AND she has a toddler. Basically, she's a superhero; at least in my world. 

miles and miles of cute

How cute is this chick? I found her here.

My crush on Kate Winslet is undying. My obsession with Marilyn Monroe is never-ending. 

Kate Winslet looking like Marilyn Monroe? I am undone.

who needs hair?

Honestly? I need hair. But this gal, this gal needs no hair, in fact she just may be cuter for lack of hair. I've been thinking too much about hair lately because I am well tired of my own, but my delusions of looking awesome with a shaved head died when I entered my 30s. Aside from this girl being super cute, the clothing is also really darn cute too! You can see more here.

Just a little style/beauty inspiration from the forever cool Marianne Faithfull.

Because I have had strep throat the past few days I've had much time to lay around and do nothing - which is way weird, but allowed me to watch back to back Marilyn Monroe films so I can't complain *that* much. I have a pretty unhealthy obsession with Marilyn Monroe already devoting too much time to reading about her. Recently I came across these photos which I had not seen before.  Some of them capture her without her make-up which is rare. I am pretty sure I could write post after post about her, but then so could millions of other admirers...

How cute is she? How cute! She is Katy of Kansas Couture and well, I just find her style very cute, very creative, quite eclectic and she is doing one helluva good job of making want to chop off all my long hair. Once upon a time I had very short hair and I did love it, I really did, but it meant doing my hair everyday. One would think that the shorter you go the less you have to do, but that is simply not true. A messy bun is the world's fastest cute hairdo, in my opinion. So while I am not ready to take the plunge I can sift through Katy's blog and live vicariously. I think a gal in a 1950s dress with a super short haircut is just about one of the coolest things ever, isn't it?
