Style Icon – Grace Kelly
It is difficult to know where to even begin with today’s Style Icon…. I fear I can never truly do her style, grace and beauty justice. So famous is she as an actress, her films and image so iconic, it is hard to believe she was only active in Hollywood for 6 short years. And yet [...]
Sunday Style Icon – Vivien Leigh
Gosh I can’t believe how long it has been since the last Sunday Style Icon, please don’t look, I’m actually more than a little embarrassed! Especially as they are actually one of my favourite posts… of course that may possibly be the problem, as I all too easily become engrossed in finding beautiful images befitting [...]
Sunday Style Icon: Jackie Kennedy Onassis
There are no words to adequately introduce todays Style Icon, so I think I will let the photos do the talking…… Socialite, Wife, Mother, First Lady and a successful Editor, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, above all of these, is remembered for her style, elegance, and grace.
Sunday Style Icon: Anna Neagle
I can almost hear people saying “Who?” and a month ago I would have been saying the same, but then my Dad emailed me with the loveliest story detailing a wonderfully sentimental family link to this lovely lady, that just caught my imagination. When my Nan was a young lady, in the late 1920s early 1930s, [...]
Sunday Style Icon: Elizabeth Taylor
Whilst wandering the wide world of the web last week, I found some simply stunning images of Elizabeth Taylor (some of which I couldn’t resist sharing on the CVB boards on Pinterest) and they reminded me just how beautiful this lady truly was…… Elizabeth Taylor should be seen in colour! In fact I would go [...]
Sunday Style Icon: Joan Crawford
With a career spanning 45 years and over 80 motion pictures, the subject of my Sunday Style Icon today was proclaimed, by no other than Life Magazine, to be the “First Queen of the Movies”. Joan Crawford is one of the most instantly recognisable and famous actresses of the 1930s and 40s – she is [...]
Sunday Style Icon: Billie Dove
OK, so many may have never heard of the subject of my Sunday Style Icon today, however believe me when I say she is a style icon – anyone in love with the 1920s, Silent Movies or Marcel Waves, as I am, will love her (and as I used to share her surname, she will forever [...]
Sunday Style Icon: Veronica Lake
Very few women are remembered for their hair alone…. in fact I can think of only one…… (Images source FanPop) (Image Source Stirred Straight Up)
Sunday Style Icon: Audrey Hepburn
A blissful Sunday afternoon lost in epic Audrey - I am talking Hepburn, of course! (Funny Face followed by Breakfast at Tiffany’s) gave me an exciting new idea for my blog, ‘Sunday Style Icons’! Style Icon is a term brandished far too liberally for my liking, to describe the current crop of fashionistas, who in 50 years [...]
