I remember coming across this photo of Penelope Cruz on instagram maybe or Pinterest... I don't know which, but thinking "WHAT MOVIE IS THIS?!" Well it turns outs is Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) and it's set in the 1940s, in Italy...and I'm basically just drooling over all her outfits! They're feminine and pretty but a little folky...which I LOVE. Also her hairstyles... I haven't seen this movie yet, but I am going to watch it soon if not only to glean outfit ideas, hair inspiration, and dream of someday visiting Italy.

A feminine white blouse and a fitted a-line skirt will never go out of style when paired together. This is one of my go-to uniforms for outfits and I have a fair stock of a-line below the knee length skirts that I pair with an assortment of white cotton blouses.  These images are from a Japanese movie from 1957 called Blue Sky Maiden...which I've never seen or heard about until now. I love that you get a peek of her slip underneath. Women should wear slips more often, it's such a delicate detail.  Images all sourced from: Tumblr

First off, I have a major girl crush on Liv Tyler. A huge part of that is because she played Arwen... but also I follow her on Instagram and she just seems super sweet and kind...like her insides match how beautiful she is on the outside. I know you'll never see this Liv Tyler, but I adore you so much. Ok... now that we all know who my lady crush is, let's talk about this floral dress Liv wears in the movie Stealing Beauty.  I will probably post all of her outfits from this movie because I ADORE this movie....
