Jimmy Stewart, Frank Sinatra, and
James Dean make a girl long for the simple days of peaceful romance. When “love was just a glance away, a warm
embracing dance away,” as Frank Sinatra sang, and although a lot has changed
since these dashing men were in their primes- something that hasn’t changed is
an undeniable attraction to natural, “effortless” beauty (at least with the
appearance of being effortless). This
set is an homage to the things that haven’t changed: youth, love, life’s simple
joys and to the things that we need to regain.
With a vintage vibe this look sets
the stage to be understated but impossible to miss. With gently tossed curls
and a sun kissed glow a girl wearing a look like this doesn’t need any extras
to make her a head turner. It is perfect
for a stroll around a quiet beach town, a relaxing day with an iced- tea and
book at a coffee shop or even a day of bumping around town running errands
because it’s just so chic yet comfortable.
“Meant for Each Other” a movie starring Jimmy
Stewart and Carole Lombard inspired my digression into vintage style. Beautifully stylized, for a less well known
feature, this movie portrays the hardships of unmet expectations in love, life,
and marriage and demonstrates how the American Dream can make a man or woman
feel unfulfilled inside of those unrealistic and shallow standards. The line
that stuck out to me the most was “don’t let the seeds keep you from enjoying
the watermelon” a true metaphor for life and an inspiringly simple way of
looking at the ups and downs of life. It reminds me to focus on what’s important-
the people you love and things that you love doing. Do, Be, Smile.
