My New Dolly Bag!

I was so excited to see that my Dungaree Dolly package had arrived today! This is my second bag from this company and I absolutely adore it!

It's always so nice to get a package from Dolly because it's wrapped just like a present and feels like Christmas! Mine was wrapped in hot pink and green leopard print tissue paper with a neon green ribbon...so cute!

This is the front of the bag. This is the Charlotte bag I believe and I picked the monster fabric for it. I'm obsessed with Universal Monsters so when I saw that she had this print back in stock I had to jump on it! I especially love the little faux leather bows and accents in the corners.

This inside is a bright neon green and has pockets inside for your cell phone, sunglasses, etc...oh and even a little place to put your pen!

This is the back..

Beth makes all her bags from scratch so you know you are getting something one of a kind! I highly recommend this company. She is very sweet and gives great customer service. Oh and let's not forget the beautiful handmade bags! So head on over to DungareeDolly.com!

April Blossom of the Month

This month's BOM is the Azalea. I think it's gorgeous! I absolutely love the color as well. A great reminder that Spring is in the air! :)

"Petals of silken brilliance,

In colors of luscious pinks,

To deep reds,

Grace your tender branches,

With a sweet woodsy perfume aroma,

That floats through the air,

As I walk down the path,

Landscaped with Azaleas." - Hortense Foster

Retro Makeup book

So I happened to stop by the Bobby Pin Blog today and learned that Lauren's Retro Makeup book is finally done! I am so so excited about this!

I own the 1st edition of her Vintage Hairstyling book and love it. It's so informative and beautifully done.

You can pre-order your copy of the Retro Makeup book now on RetroMakeup.net or Amazon.

R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor

I am so heartbroken by this. She is and always will be one of my favorite actresses of all time. You will be greatly missed Liz.

Movie of the Week: The Awful Truth (1937)

Starring: Cary Grant and Irene Dunne

Directed By: Leo McCarey

Synopsis: This captivating screwball comedy stars Cary Grant and Irene Dunne as Jerry and Lucy Warriner, a married couple who mistakenly suspect each other of infidelity and file for divorce -- but then go to ridiculous lengths to make each other jealous.

This is one of my favorite films! I absolutely adore Irene Dunne and Cary Grant was such a great comedic actor. They had such wonderful chemistry together which makes it a joy to watch. That chemistry is probably what led them to make two other films together after this - My Favorite Wife (1940) and Penny Serenade (1941). This film also stars a little terrier named Mr. Smith who is quite the scene stealer! Even though I have seen this movie many times I still laugh at the same parts over and over again. I think that's one of the reasons why this is a favorite for me...I never get tired of it! If you are a fan of comedy films or just love old movies like I do then I would suggest seeing this!

Mildred Pierce

I am soooo excited for this! I'm a fan of the Mildred Pierce film from 1945 starring Joan Crawford and Ann Blyth. This new adaptation is going to be a five-part miniseries on HBO starring Kate Winslet and Evan Rachel Wood. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Kate Winslet fan so I know it's going to be nothing less than an amazing performance. It premieres Sunday, March 27.
