Cleveland isn’t exactly known for its winning sports teams, just as I’m not especially known for my sports enthusiasm. But I do have a lot of local pride, and my husband enjoys his fair share of sports fanatacism. So, why not gear up for the Brownies’ regular season play with an homage to the weirdly colored NFL team? I will say, it’s easy to love ’70s style and be a Browns fan simultaneously. I just haven’t mastered the latter.

I’ve had so many new things happening in my life these days, and posting here at my beloved, albeit neglected, blog is always the first thing to get axed from my never ending to-do-list. If you miss me even an iota as much as I miss you, you can always see what I’m up to elsewhere on the world wide web of intrigue.

I got a new gig posting at Disney’s Babble! I’ll be sharing style tips, talk about trends, and posting style DIYs and tutorials. My latest post shows you how to tie a headscarf like you see in the image above, but you can check out all of my posts right here.

You guys, I’ve fallen head over heels for Instagram! Ever since I got an iPod touch, I’ve been loving connecting in this new (to me) way, and leaving my actual camera at home most of the time. I’ve been doing lots of fun things in my spare time, but haven’t decided how much of my personal life to share on this blog, or mainly just how much you all are even interested in seeing that kind of stuff. Thoughts? I’m not sure if my Instagram has replaced personal life posts on my blog, or if I should share some of that here. Oh, decisions, decisions! SO many decisions to make in life these days.

I’ll be back soon to share some outfits, recipes, and inspiration just like the old days, I promise!

Oh, Darling. I first was transfixed by this stylish, quintessentially ’60s movie a few years ago, and had romanticized it in my memory ever since. These movie stills I captured certainly speak for the impeccable style of the movie- which can’t be rivaled, in my opinion. But when I rewatched Darling recently, I quickly remembered how achingly haunting the film actually is. Julie Christie is mesmerizing as a carefree media darling, Diana Scott, who charms her way to billboards and bedrooms, climbing the social ladder only to find life at the top rather lonely and hollow. Laurence Harvery and Dirk Bogarde play a couple of Diana Scott’s love interests, and are just as swoon-worthy as she is. Dirk’s smile…. just…. well, it’s just the cutest thing.

When Darling was first released, it stood amongst frolicking ’60s films which showcased free love and fame as a fun and modern lifestyle. This John Schlesinger movie showed the flip-side of the swinging London social scene, and tells a moral tale that is as timeless as Julie Christie herself. It will wrap you up in Diana Scott’s dramatic life, and will leave you with a bit of a heartache for her at the end.
