Target treasures
As you can probably tell by my last post, I love accessories with a nautical theme. That's why I'm super excited for two Spring collaborations with Target: Felix Rey will do a handbag line and Miss Trish of Capri will do shoes. Here are my favorite samples of their upcoming lines:

Robe Obsession
I came across this fab picture of Maggie Gyllenhaal on the glamourai's blog (quick tangent: the glamourai's blog may be my most favorite thing in the whole world right now. LOVE her). Which compelled me to make a post dedicated to one of my favorite pieces of clothing: the lounge robe. Especially satiny/silky ones. I am not complete until I slip into one and lounge around at home, and I am fascinated by all the beautiful ones that I have come across in my lifetime. Previous posts will show you a couple of my favorites (Kelis, Carrie, and Angelina), and below you can find a couple more that I need in my life:

Mae West, my hero
My sister recently suggested that I watch the 1933 movie "Baby Face" starring Barbara Stanwyck. I was not only inspired by the apparel of the 20's and 30's, but by the brilliance that is pre-code Hollywood --an important time period in movies that I had never known about. This was a time in film where women were free to have jobs, not settle down with one man, and get whatever they wanted, reflecting the liberal attitude of that time. Then in 1934, the Motion Picture Production Code was passed and these story lines were censored. Suddenly, actresses that played strong, assertive, working women were playing the role of the femme fatale, needing to be saved by a man.
My favorite pre-code actress, and my new hero, is none other than the fabulous Mae West:
West was known for her sexual innuendo and for making fun of a puritanical society. She was also the first woman to write many of the movies she starred in. Her first starring role on Broadway was in a play titled Sex, which she also wrote, produced, and directed. The production resulted in her arrest on obscenity charges. West went on to star in more films, and in 1936 she became the highest paid woman in the US.
After the censors became more strict, West decided she would be able to have greater expression in her work if she went back to the stage.
West regarded talking about sex as a basic human rights issue and was also an early advocate of gay and transgender rights. West's theatrical treatments of gender and gender performativity were also advanced, considering the times.
I also love her amazing glam style. Mae West: true inspiration!!

Whitney Port in The City
During today's episode of The City on MTV, I found myself drawn to a shirt Whitney was wearing as she was rummaging through her closet. Specifically, the print is what I fell in love with. Why am I so obsessed with floral prints?

Baby Face, 1933
I've decided that I need to wear more hats, get major bling for my wrists, wear silk robes around the house, and perfect the finger wave for my hair. I may also try the whole "sophisticated maneater" thing.
