Watching Marie Antoinette made me want to eat some pastries, go to Versailles and buy a corset (you’d need one after scoffing the cream cakes like the ladies in this film).

Meryl and the trench coat of dreams – Fashion moments from Kramer Vs Kramer
I’ve always wanted a Burberry trench, and Meryl demonstrates just why we all need one in our wardrobes while playing subtly stylish Joanna Kramer in Kramer Vs Kramer.

Style like a Queen. Fashion moments from The Favourite.

Sofia set the bar high with dreamy directorial debut The Virgin Suicides and then she just kept on going with the likes of Lost in Translation, The Bling Ring and most recently […]
An interior nod to the great Wes Anderson
Ah Wes. No film style blog would ever be complete without him. I do have a long list of specific Wes Anderson films that I intend to nod to in future outfit posts, but for now, I thought I’d create a little corner of my home dedicated to the doyen of cinema. Of course, I […]
