Hello lovely friends!
I am so glad to hopefully be back on track this week. After a short hiatus due to last weeks series of events. I am starting my week off, by sharing with you some exciting news and pictures!
So last week I was hired by a client to style a darling 11 year old girl, who is auditioning for a part in a 1930's set movie. I can not say what the title of the movies is, by law only because it is still in pre-production, and a even though a title has been determined. It is still not finalized at this point. Anywhoo off with that hosh-posh and on with the details.
I was flown off on a jet plane to the movie production city of Los Angeles, for a couple days. Middle of last week, well Wednesday to be exact.
As soon as I got there, I got to work. Playing dress up with little girls vintage clothes, is a dream for me. As much as I enjoy styling my own handsome little boy in vintage, it is always fun to see buttons, bows and frilly things for a change. She is so cute, and looks very much like Shirley Temple in the 1930's! She was very polite and had a delightful personality. Very smart, witty and mature for her age, a pleasure to work with. Her Mother was also a pleasure, she let me do my work without a hitch and was very grateful for the help and pleased with the results.
In between work, I only had a few opportunites to play and snap pics. So here are a few!
Me and my adorable little future starlet, having dinner on a rainy night at the Santa Monica Pier, after her fabulous audition! Isn't she a doll? Good luck little lady!
I will be sure to post more pictures of her in her her full regalia, as soon as a get a few back from the photographer! There were a couple of wardrobe changes....

The lovely hotel my client put me up in, I was definitely spoiled for a few days. You know how much I adore the beach and the California sunsets! Even if I only had an hour to sink my toes in the sand, well that is good enough for me!
Some quick playtime before I headed back home to Arizona. A stop at the Griffith Observatory in Hollywood, well the nicer part of Hollywood- in the hills of Loz Feliz, that is.
You might recall the Griffith Observatory, from the movie "Rebel without a Cause" starring James Dean!
And a nice visit and lunch with my gal pal Ashley who resides in L.A. Oh how I miss that girl living in my hometown! She is such a hoot!
Till next time...
Toodles,

I love reading your blog. I can read them at your actual page, but your entries never show up in my reading list for some reason. I was wondering if you knew why that was, and if it was fixable? Thanks!

I thought I had left a comment but I think blogger ate it. Anyway, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the 30s look you've got going on in these images. Once again, I am coveting your perfect waves! I'm just too lazy/clumsy/silly to get my waves to behave like that!
ReplyDeleteThat little girl looks darling...and she seems familiar, or maybe it's just that she has that "it" factor
Gingeyginge- Thanks Doll!
ReplyDeleteRuby Roulette- Thanks Sweetie! That is very encouraging to hear!
Bellisimama- Thanks Sugar!
Dizzy Dame- I know right? Believe me, I have chatted with her about it.
Lizzy- Thanks darlin! I I always appreciate our lovely thoughts. I promise to do one soon...
Brittany @ Va Voom- Thanks doll! Yeah, once you practice enough to get the motion. They are pretty easy to recreate. It was loads of fun, just what I love to do, play dress-up!
Betty 2 Tone- Thanks for going out of your way to read! I am so sorry to hear that you have that problem. I have heard that several times before. I have tried to email Google, and have had no success. I have no idea why that is the case for some people, but please come back to visit!
Baroness- Thanks love! I have started to re-visit some of my 30's stuff. Oh honey, sure you can finger wave. There's really nothing to it one you practice several times. Dedicate a relaxing beauty regimen night to yourself, to pamper your hair, skin & nails. I promise you will enjoy it and want them at least once a week! Soon you will be a pro at it!

No worries! I do love your blog. I grew up in Tucson, and I can't even imagine wearing vintage when it gets super hot!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit (and your friend Ashley's adorable little fawn brooch) those red shoes are amazing. I think i need a pair. Your outfits are so well thought out, no accessory out of place. Bravo my dear!
