hello, gorgeous! i’ve been pleasantly surprised to come across such strong female roles on my bucket list as of lately, with last week’s mame dennis from auntie mame and this weeks fanny brice from funny girl. streisand gives a top notch performance and really might be at her best in this film (though i have such a strong love for yentl, no judging… haha)
her body language, expressions, range of voice, hair styles, and wardrobe are all fabulous! plus omar sharif (aka- doctor zhivago) is so irresistible and charming.
really now, how can i attempt these hair styles? big loose curls into a bouffant and chunky side swept or braided bangs. and let’s just talk about this fitted black and white number, shall we?
everything about that outfit is a yes. the hair, the big pearl earrings, the black waist belt, the long collar, the ruffled hem.
and did i mention the furs?!?!
i can’t deny how cute babs is. doesn’t every girl want a feathered pink robe or complimenting pixie cut or attractive man to smooch? *sigh* she really does have it all…

if i were to live inside the world of 
rosalind russell’s mame has easily entered my top 5 favourite characters of all time. her motto is too “live, live, live!!!” while she suggests that “life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!” even at her worst times, mame still has happiness (and whatever is left) to give around and she’s proof that even in the bad times, if you believe good things will come your way, then they will!
i respect that mame chooses colours as bold as her personality. she is fun and vibrant and her wardrobe completely compliments that, which isn’t that what wardrobes should do for all of us? i also adore how mame changes her hair colour as quickly as she changes her hobbies and interests.
much to learn from here. both on the inside and out. oh 
as far as art direction goes, jordan scott’s 
i adore every piece of clothing eva green wears throughout the film. a lot of head scarves, high-waisted pants, and long blazers. also the fabrics of velvets and silks were so rich on the screen and showed beautifully.
the sets were fascinating as well with so many trinkets and odds and ends. i love the dark wall colour and dark furniture.
love love.
after last weeks viewing of hitchcock’s 
her velvet-y, silk floral dress was by far my favourite…
i find the v-neck back to be smashing!!!
if you haven’t seen the film, then i very much suggest it.
i’ve always heard about the film 
the story centers around two neighbors, a married woman and a married man who realize that their spouses are cheating on them. they find comfort and solitude in each other since they know what the other is going through, but they refuse to act as their spouses did and act upon this sudden love that they discover between them. the acting is phenomenal from both maggie cheung and tony leung. every frame is a piece of art and though the pacing is a bit slow, it let’s your emotions and thoughts build and change throughout the film.
this film didn’t change my life, but i am glad that i watched it and it definitely gave me some new things to think about stylistically.
