vintage vogue photos 20's, 30's, 40's



I recently discovered a wonderful shop www.condenaststore.com and despite the high prices, there are lots of beautiful photos to just look at, not necessarily to buy. These below are from middle-twenties to the end of fourties. The fifties are about to be published here soon, be patient!

top 3 beautiful soundtracks of the moment

I've been watching lots of good English movies recently and what really got my attention were beautiful soundtracks, the type of music that gets you in a good mood and inspires you in a way other music doesn't. At the moment my list of the most beautiful of them would look like that:

1. 'Cracks' - Fiamma's Theme (a wonderful movie by the way, really enjoyed it)
2. 'Jane Eyre' - Awaken
3. 'Coco avant Chanel' (yes, again) - Le Chagrin de Coco

top 5 beautiful dresses (golden globes)

I know I haven't written for a while, and I know Golden Globes are like history now, but I decided to create my very own list of the most beautiful dresses. I'm really bored right now and need something to cheer me up, and thought looking at all these stunning gowns might help a little.

I put Rooney Mara on the first place because I love her simple and humble look. I'm also very impressed by her performance in "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo".




1. Rooney Mara - Nina Ricci

2. Evan Rachel Wood - Gucci

 3. Jessica Chastain - Givenchy


4. Nicole Kidman - Versace

5. Emma Stone - Lanvin

art noveau.

I must say that art noveau pictures and even simple art noveau ornaments are really nice to look at. Here are some of them.











I will write down the names of the artists & the paintings later.

beautiful autumn photos

We're getting close to the winter actually, but there would be enough cold, boring evenings to post all these snowy pics, so I'd prefer to show you some stunning photos of autumn I found googling.

1880's fashion pictures

Long time ago I discovered a wonderful website fully dedicated to XIXth century fashion, unfortunately it is not available anymore. Luckily, I was smart enough to save the most beautiful pictures that I found there. Here they are, take a look. How different these old ad's are from today's H&M or Zara's campaigns!

Notice: women's incredibly small waists, the titles under the drawings, like "An Afternoon Walk", beautiful evening dresses, and the funny way children dress.

The pictures are set chronological, from the oldest - about 1880, to the newest - 1889.
