Retro Summer
Clifton, 1967
Fish Hoek, 1958
Muizenberg beach, 1953
Sea Point, 1963
The Little Blue Train, Mouille Point, 1961
Sea Point Pool, 1960
While browsing the lovely Miss Moss blog, (if you haven't looked at it before I recommend that you do!) I came across these delicious vintage photographs of Cape Town. How marvelous are they? I just couldn't resist re-blogging them as they've got me all excited for summer and all that it brings along with it! If I'm not beaching on one of CT's beautiful beaches on any given summers day, you'll find me happily riding the Little Blue Train, or posing at the Sea Point pool - retro bikini and sunnies to boot.
Right, now to find the perfect pair...

Ah! How wonderful does Michelle Williams look in these exquisite Annie Leibovitz photographs? They were taken for the October Issue of Vogue US, for a feature on her upcoming film, My Week With Marilyn, in which she takes on the iconic role of Marilyn Monroe. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the article, written by Adam Green, as I have always been a fan of Michelles - ever since her role as Jennifer in my childhood fav, Dawsons Creek. Of course, her love affair with the late Heath Ledger also put her right up there on my list of "Hollywood-starlets-I-would-love-to-be". I am more than excited to see this film about Marilyn Monroe and to witness the glamour and glory Michelle brings to it.
Quoting from the article in Vogue,
"... But the main attraction is Williams, who brings Monroe to life with heartbreaking delicacy and precision without resorting to impersonation or cliché. It’s not hard to see why the film’s director, Simon Curtis, wanted her. “Not only is she beautiful and brilliant,” he tells me, “but she brings such intellect to her work along with an intuitive grasp of character, extraordinary depth of feeling, and a kind of innate glamour—I guess we call it star quality, don’t we? For a director, it’s the dream package.”... "

I just love these photographs by Kevin Tachman. He has captured such perfectly happy moments, fit for spring. The make-up and hair styling for these beauties is so fresh and vibrant. I love it.

Alexa goes Bazaar
Oh my! Alexa Chung is cover girl for the October issues of both Harpers Bazaar UK and Harpers Bazaar Australia and wow does she do it well. She is simply stunning. I am in love with the her look for the UK issue; very Twiggy slash Edie Sedgwick - right up my alley. I adore the sixties eyelashes and beehive hairstyle. Those Chanel dresses for the Australia issue are to die for though! Which do you prefer?

I would simply love to spend some time perusing The National Portrait Gallery's latest offering GLAMOUR OF THE GODS HOLLYWOOD PORTRAITS. How divine are these photographs? There is something so fascinating and alluring about "old Hollywood". I think I'd possibly waste days in the Gallery; transfixed by the glitz and glamour of it all.

So, on Monday night my darling husband treated me to a surprise movie date. Imagine my excitement when he announced that we were going to see the Glee 3D Concert Movie! I am a big fan of the show, and often leave the soundtracks on repeat some days. It was amazing! I absolutely LOVED it. There were only a handful of people in the movie theatre but lemme tell you I was busting out my dance moves and singing along to my hearts content as if I was part of the huge crowd in the movie! The 3D-ness of it all made it just that much more exciting, and my eyes didn't get sore or fuzzy once :) Standout moments were definitely Britneys rendition of Spears' "Slave" and also Santana's "Valerie". Brilliant.
And now I hear the Glee stars are to be featured in the September Issue of Vogue. Cannot wait to get my hands on that.
