My View: August Instagram Round-Up

My day job is in the lingerie industry and we got to go to the Lingerie Francaise Exhibition during market week. I instagramed a few pics from the exibit, including this 1952 Lejaby Overwire. I am really on the hunt for a vintage overwire for my vintage lingerie collection. 

Summer in NYC is filled with outdoor movies in the parks. I was lucky to catch The Women afterwork one night with friends.  If you haven't seen this, do! It stars Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer and Rosalind Russell. The fashion show scene is to die for! 

Treated myself to some new shoes. I love these! Miranda from Re-Mix. 

ps. They come in green, too! 

I've worked in Union Square for the past 3 years and I love the weekly greenmarket there. We moved our office to Chelsea recently so I snapped some lovely pics from the market on my last day in the neighborhood.

Let's keep Instagram, ya know, instant! Follow me @BobbinBombshell to see these snaps and more in real time!

Style Icon: Flapper Joan Crawford

Joan Crawford was destined and determined to be a star. To get herself noticed she became a Flapper along the likes of Clara Bow. She was signed to MGM in 1925 and started her career in silent movies. I love the Joan Crawford of the 1920's and 1930's. When we think of Joan Crawford, we think of a severe glamour of the 1940's, we think of Mommie Dearest. In her early career she was spirited, relaxed and very stylish!

A young Crawford with a blonde bob! 

Pencil thin brows. So glamorous! 

A quintessential Flapper! 

Those eyes! 

Even glamorous in relaxed American sportswear.
