The Palm Beach Story

I love watching old movies - even when the movie isn't that engaging (though lots of them are!), I can just look at the clothes.  And one of the best clothing scenes is in "The Palm Beach Story," when Rudy Vallee falls for Claudette Colbert and takes her shopping.  If you've ever day-dreamed about being in a vintage shop, saying "I'll take this, and this, and this" - you have to see this scene!  Rudy Vallee spares no expense! 8 hats!!!!

MADAME X

This is a dress from fourstoryvintage.com.  And below is John Singer Sargent's 1884 portrait of Madame X.  I love the two together!
