On My Wish List: Ice Skate Boots

When I first saw this photo, I gasped wanting these knee high boots. When I looked closer I noticed that they are in fact ice skate boots! Look at the blade!

From DSQUARED2. Amazing!

Mid-Week Inspiration: Marilyn Perfection

This gorgeous photo of Marilyn Monroe is blowing up on my Pinterest Old Hollywood board. She is absolutely stunning in this shot. I love how it captures her post Norma Jean but before she became "Marilyn".

My View: The Artist

I went to see The Artist over the weekend. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Filmed in black and white, The Artist is a romantic comedy about a silent film star whose career goes down the drain when talkies become popular. Brilliantly, the movie itself is a silent movie complete with raised eyebrows, title cards, and amazing music.

Of course the dashing late 1920's / early 1930's costumes are worth seeing this film alone. I now want to wear flapper dresses and take tap dance lessons!

Have you seen it yet? What did you think?

My Projects: Crochet Headband

I finished this one a while ago but it took me some time to get to photographing it. Made from recycled cotton yarn, this headband can also be worn as a belt! A very easy and quick crochet project. Visit my Ravelry page for pattern and yarn details.
