Vintage Style Icon: Faye Dunaway

There have been countless fashion editorials inspired by Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker in the 1968 film "Bonnie & Clyde" with Warren Beatty, but honestly, nothing beats the original. I love her wardrobe in the entire film, especially the first cream colored dress she wears when she runs out of the house to meet Clyde. It's a definite vintage movie must see, and if you're into the story of Bonnie + Clyde, I recommend reading more about them on Biography.com


Faye Dunaway has one of those gorgeous chameleon faces. She can look different but still always look like herself all at the same time. Kind of like Kate Moss, one moment she's girl next door pretty the next moment a total bombshell.




"I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was." - Faye Dunaway

Vintage Beauty: The 1960s Cat Eye Inspiration + Tutorial

The 1960s winged cat eye is one of my favorite makeup looks of all time and was often sported by two of my vintage style icons, Audrey Hepburn and Anna Karina. I've tried to perfect the art of the cat eyeliner (or sometimes refered to as winged eyeliner - and makeup artists if there is a difference feel free to correct me), but sometimes I utterly fail and just end up with a thick black swoop on my eyelid. *le sigh*

But perhaps a few inspirational images and a tutorial will do the trick?

Vintage Sewing Pattern of the Day: Vintage 1960s "Jackie O" Suit Separates

Loving this Jackie O inspired suit pattern but also love that it's a bit more youthful. It is a Petites pattern after all. I love that in the patterns description Petites in the 1960's meant 5'1 and under! (I would have been petite...now I'm SUPER petite, haha!)

If I could sew I would whip up this adorable vintage 60s suit separates, probably in large black and white herringbone print with big mod buttons!
