Hello again!

Sorry for the long absence. Sometimes life gets in the way and the exploring/expressing oneself takes a back seat to other more pressing although less satisfying things. You know how it is if you have a blog yourself.

Anyway, in the midst of my absence, I got a new printer/scanner! Yay! So when I'm suffering with a lack of inspiration for posts, I'll just scan an image from one of my many vintage fashion books for your perusing pleasure!

So here's the first image: from the book Airports and Stars which is full of B&W photos of American as well as Italian cinematic stars getting off of airplanes or in airports. This is a great window into what was worn by stars during the mid 20th century for traveling, who wanted to look their best but no doubt be comfortable as well.

This is Lucia Bose' in 1955. I really enjoy this photo because while her dress is quite 50's notice her hair is something that wouldn't be seen in this country until the 60's and even 70's in some places. Proof that Europeans have almost always had the edge over us Yanks in the trend department. Click on the photo to have a closer look.

I hope everyone has been well! I've missed you all!
