Adrift

As we are transported into the summer of the seventies in Brazil, we see the lives of a family changing, Adrift presents the fun, awkard, confusion, lies, love, rebellious life of a teenage girl. The film stars the amazing Vincent Cassel, telenovela actress Deborah Bloch, and introducing Laura Neiva, also a small part of Camilla Belle, who I thought her character was so interesting that she should have been more developed. I do not want to give the story away, but it begins with Vincent Cassel's daughter discovering that he is having a affair with Camilla Belle.

The style was appropiate for a summer vacation in Brazil, fresh, bold, colorful, lots of bikinis and throw ons, all I wanted to do was go to the beach. The most stylish character was Camilla Belle, she wore the trendy clothes of the era, the head pieces, bold prints, big jewlery, long and flowy, as well as bikinis. Her character was as if she read Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, was a fan of Bianca Jagger.

The Lady is a Tramp

Lady Gaga is a tramp. It is the new version of the song by Tony Bennett with Lady Gaga on his new album, Duets II. "The Lady is a Tramp" was written by the greatest Rodgers and Hart in 1937 for the Broadway musical Babes in Arms, and since then it has become a classic and has been recorded by a variety of performers giving their special touch to it. Lady Gaga fits perfectly to sing this song not only because of her stage name, but because she has real talent to be singing next to Bennett. Tony and Gaga make a great duo, they combine the old and new, the classic and the avant garde, he is old school New York and she is the biggest pop star in the world.

The music video is just great, it is simple, classy, the audience could really appreciate the song and the talent. I think it was Lady Gaga's best outfits because she looked classy, ladylike, she looked how a woman in the thirties and forties would dress to go out an evening with thier husbands to the opera. Gaga wore an all black lace, see through gown by Tom Ford, and with her mint blue wig done in 1940s curls, very Old Hollywood Glamour.

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.

Aldo Summer Bags

Summer Bag

I think I have an obsession with Aldo, I love their shoes, their bags, their accessories, pretty much everything. This summer there is a variety of bags, from daytime at the beach to classy night at the theatre. My favorite bag has been the Birkin Bag inspired, a bag that Princess Grace Kelly and Jackie Onassis Kennedy would own .  Another bag that I fell in love with and own is a white bag with a gorgeous floral scarf, very Chanel inspired.
