The Adjustment Bureau



I know I know this movie came out a few months ago, but I couldn't help myself to post something about this great film. The Adjustment Bureau is about a man, Matt Damo, who falls in love with a ballerina, Emily Blunt, but they were never meant to be together. This film reminded me a lot of Inception, the whole psychological theme, destiny, in and out of places through doors, but what Inception lacked was fashion. The Adjustment Bureau, the bad guys, looked as if they just come out of a Brooks Brothers ad campaing, so preppy, elegant, sharp, 1950s inspired suits and fedoras.


Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day


Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is a good movie about a homeless woman in London, who becomes a socialite's assistant and is introduced to a world of wealth, lies, affairs, love, fashion, and parties for only one day. What I love about this film is the fashion, it is 1940s inpsired, glamorous, elegant, ladylike, and femenine. The socialite played by the great Amy Adams has an incredible taste for fashion, and during a period of a day she changed about ten times. My favorite part of the movie was the lingerie fashion show, I just wanted to go back in the forties and buy every piece of clothing.


How to Steal a Million



Audrey Hepburn. Only with her name she evokes timeless beauty, class, elegance, and simplicity. Her most memorable performance was Breakfast at Tiffany's, playing Holly Golightly, but many forget or do not know about another of her great films, How to Steal a Million. This film is about Audrey's character's father, who forges masterpieces in Paris, and his daughter hires a professional to steal a fake sculpture her father created.





Audrey's wardrobe in this film was created by her good friend and elegant designer, Givenchy. The film is set in Paris, it obviously has amazing fashion. Hepburn looks beautiful in Givenchy designs, very elegant, very French, and gorgeous 1960s eye make up.

Coach Poppy


Coach introduced their Poppy Collection a few seasons back and it has become a great success. The Coach Company knew they had to market their product to a younger audience, and they did it by creating Poppy, a fun, bold, colorful, youthful collection. The Coach bags, shoes, umbrellas, accessories are very traditional, mature, neutral colors, so Poppy is perfect for young women who love color and pop art. I see Poppy as the little sister of all the other Coach collections.

I feel that Poppy really defines me because it's just as colorful, preppy, girly, fun, bright, and candy sweet as am I. Poppy has a great variety of bags and accessories from jewelry, umbrellas, wallets, shirts, ballet flats, boots, tote bags, bookbags, clutches, small messenger bags, to my favorites big messenger bags. I think it would be hard for a person to leave a Coach store without buying something from the Poppy collection or leaving the store thinking about buying a Poppy bag in the future, I know I am.
