I want to be Jean Smart in the Romance Writer SNL sketch when I grow up. // Elder millennial. // Former classically trained ballerina getting back to the barre. // Theatre kid forever. // Probably watching too much TV for my own good.
I thought of two songs here: Total Eclipse of the Heart (because of the sun) & Heart of Glass (because of the veil). In the end, the veil felt more prominent to me, so I went with Blondie. #AuralVisualConnection

“Roman Holiday” is an all-timer as far as Gossip Girl episodes go, so I’m glad it made THR’s list! 🎄📺✨

Pink Moon | Amanda Petrusich (33 1/3)

Been a fair few weeks since I tucked into an entry in this wonderful series, and this was a great one to get through in one sitting last night.

Great insight and questions posed on Drake's life, plus so much good stuff on PM.

This is so beautiful, and that gem? Swoon! 👗😍
Described as light orange crepe with light orange tulle this sounds like a festive dessert. It was designed by Mainbocher in 1946 and includes an integral jewel positioned at the neck @chicagomuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Shane’s radio show, Seasons Change, is such a soothing balm and has been quite the joy for me this year. I highly recommend catching up with all the episodes as they’re wonderful listens!

Viewing objects in isolation allows a deeper understanding of its structure. This mid 18th century bodice would have had an equally sumptuous skirt but without it we can appreciate its shape, construction and even its lining #MuseodelTraje #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Skimming across the ice #1870s style did not have to be a dull affair. Imagine this absolute cluster of colour whizzing by, on some frozen lake past. Movement was absolutely possible too, just check out YouTube for the proof via various makers #FIDMMuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Sparkling like a festive bauble, Victor Stiebel’s early #1960s cocktail dress deploys a heap of embellishment not just in the form of beadwork at the bodice but a textured cloqué fabric as well. Sold via #AugustaAuction #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Gorgeous! 😍
All this bright red silk chiffon cocktail dress needs is an egg nog and a high heel. Ceil Chapman liked to ruche her gowns and this mid #1950s gown gathers the fabric around the body then lets it flow with a matching shoulder stole #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The Joni Mitchell lyric I'm thinking about today:

"Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way"

‘Denim’ gets its name from the French words ‘de Nĭmes’ meaning "of Nĭmes," because it was manufactured in the city of Nĭmes.

‘Jeans’ comes from the city of Genoa (earlier known as Genes) because the pants were worn by the Genoese navy.

'JNCO' means “Judge None Choose One."

The first wintry bite is making itself felt today & thoughts of a cosy cape are very appealing. This early #1880s example is constructed from stranded down filaments & silk so that it is almost weightless but warm. Precursor to the down jacket but in white bobbly style #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
