Horror month

(each movie is linked to imdb)
(I can't remember where I got these pictures, so let me know if you want me to remove them)

I would really like to celebrate Samhain with someone, but since I ususally work or are occupied in Oslo around that time, I celebrate Halloween in the more commercial way by watching old horror movies. Last October I watched the Innocents (1961) and the Shining (1980), and this month I've already watched the Lake of the Dead (1958) and Rosemary's Baby (1968). Next on my list is the Wicker Man (1973), the Birds (1963), Repulsion (1965), Invasion of the Body Snatcher (1956), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) and the Testament of Dr Mabuse (1933)

Have you seen any of these movies?

Retro inspired editorials #5

Lara Stone by Mert & Marcus for Vogue US
(September 2010)
Fashion Gone Rogue describes this shoot as classic with a modern twist. I love how comfy the clothes look, how pretty her hair is and all the soft colors.

Retro inspired editorials #4

I'm still reading as much as I can. I will be blogging more when the exams are done. It's been a long time since I've written one of those small movie "reviews", so if anyone is interested, I can make some christmas editons of those.
In the meantime, here are some gorgeous pictures:

Wiola Kowal by Tamer Yilmaz for Marie Claire Turkey
(December 2010)
The pictures are from Fashion Gone Rogue, and they describe the editorial as a story about a retro housewife searching for escape. Reminds me of Betty Draper from Mad Men.
(I reccomend you to look at the full scale pictures)

Retro inspired editorials #1

Viktoriya Sasonkina in Stardust by Steven Meisel
for Vogue Italia

(september 2008)
This is described as a 50s/60s classic Hollywood glamour shoot, but I would say that some of these are abit 30s/40s as well (especially the long eveningdress)
