Audrey Hepburn and Givenchy in How to Steal a Million

Having Roman Holiday as a long time favorite movie, I was so happy to discover How to Steal a Million, also with Hepburn, but with the dreamy Peter O'Toole, and an amazing wardrobe by Givenchy. It is completely charming movie both in the story and cinematography in Paris, perfect for spring--I think I may like it even more than Roman Holiday.

I could see a whole editorial based on these looks, the lime green, skinny patent belts, just-so hats; O'Toole's looks could even inspire some menswear looks--Even Hepburn's bouffant is so classic and yet fresh feeling. Everything looks so mod and timeless and je ne sais quoi, Parisienne.

Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny

Pulled these from Netflix. 1992. Is it just me, or does anyone else get some serious Lady Gaga vibes from these pics?

Marni Fall 2010 RTW

I don't usually post on high fashion, but after coming across Marni's recent collection, I thought I'd share my favorites. While I dig the collection's shorts, deep V's and peplums, I especially love the styling of the sheer knee high under the ankle socks, the incredibly nerdy glasses, and the Marni classic, big necklace over a high collar. Overall, some of the looks read as 30's geek, which is a pretty refreshing direction, and one that could be pulled off with older vintage pieces if one is so lucky as to afford 30's and 40's pieces (a rarity in my adventures at least).

I've also had my eye on these patent blue doc's, and that look with the white dress is really pushing me towards them...

Lisa Hanawalt

I am so majorly disappointed I missed out on artist Lisa Hanawalt's shirt on Tee Fury. Tee Fury features a different designed tee available for sale for 24 hours or until they sell out. I missed the boat on Hanawalt's, but luckily found her website featuring lots of other similar work. Below follows my beloved "Kitty Biker" image, followed by some other favorites from her portfolio. I also bought her comic "It's Sexy When People Know Your Name", can't wait to get it in the mail.

Market Publique

For those of you who may be a fan on Facebook, you may remember some time ago when I shared a tip on the new vintage online market place Market Publique. In a round about way I ended up getting in contact with one of the founders, Pamela, who also runs the awesome blog.

In short, MP is alot like Etsy, but for vintage clothing hounds, way way better. There is room for hosting many more and much larger photos (without having to click to zoom in, and really, with clothing, you need more than just 5 pictures), a much more clothing-friendly layout, a way hipper aesthetic and logo (really Etsy? that's the best you can do on a logo?), and maybe the best part: selectivity of sellers. This means you don't have to sift through five thousand posts of some crazy lady trying to convince you that something that is butt-ugly isn't. No crappy photos, no faux Hong Kong "vintage", no 5 seasons old Target clothes. It's a big sigh of aesthetic relief for the vintage clothing shopper.

Lucky for us, we've been made members, joining the likes of NYC neighbors Amarcord, Boston's Artifaktori, along with MP's very own selections. I've only got a few items up, but many more soon to follow. Here's a photo of a belted leather coat that is a MP exclusive:
