Elizabeth Taylor Fashion moments.
Elizabeth Taylor was the child star who grew up to become a Hollywood legend. Stunningly beautiful, with perfect violet eyes, she was famous for her looks, her talents and her tumultuous love life. Elizabeth Taylor wasn’t a style icon in the same way as her contemporaries Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe are viewed. But taking a glimpse through the archives it is clear that she did have moments of high style that make her someone for fashion lovers to admire and cherish forever. Here are some of those moments. 1951 – Edith Head – A place in the Sun. This was the film that really introduced the grown up Elizabeth…

The Marilyn Monroe Effect.
It’s been over 60 years since Marilyn Monroe died. And yet, that fact is really is hard to believe because her influence is still everywhere. Books are still being printed about her life, her films, and her untimely (and mysterious) death. She has influenced a whole range of modern-day stars and starlets, and is still used to advertise a whole host of products, including cars and perfume. Lindsey Lohan, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Megan Fox and Scarlett Johannson are just some of the modern-day icons who are influenced by the Marilyn Myth. Lindsey Lohan, in particular seemed to be totally obsessed with her idol at one stage. She has…

The 70s are back!
I love the 70s. It’s definitely my favourite style decade. I love everything that was stylish about the decade. I love everything that was bad taste about the decade. I just love the 1970s!

Everything You Need To Host a Movie Night
The one thing I love more than a night out is a night in. A real night in, with no social media, no work, no glancing at People.com or Amazon, I mean a night in with food, drink, pamper treats and a great girlie movie. The last girls night in that I enjoyed was with my mom, we had Prosecco, Chinese food, heaps of chocolate, and a double bill of Legally Blonde and Bridesmaids in the DVD player. But just what constitutes the perfect girls movie night in? Step this way and I will tell you what I love to do to unwind with the girls. 1. Choose your perfect…

Stylish Films: Moonage Daydream
Bowie. The prettiest Star of all, the brightest, boldest and best. The world has never really been the same since his light was extinguished in January 2016, just days after the release of what was to be his last album, Blackstar. But now he’s back, lighting up big screens in the gloriously weird and wonderful documentary film Moonage Daydream. If you are a fan of Bowie, this is absolutely not to be missed. Written, directed, produced and edited by Brett Morgen, Moonage Daydream is an absolute labour of love. Taking it’s name from the Ziggy Stardust era song that had once been gifted to Arnold Corns, the group that Bowie…
