A lot of inspiration for clothes and style to me, comes from movies. I love them, I obsess over them..

So naturally when I was pottering around the garden the other day I saw an opportunity to take photos inspired by Sophia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of white floaty clothes but I did incorporate all the 70s-esq clothing I had. And made a little gif tehe.

To anyone who hasn't seen the film I probably just look a bit of a moron. It's a beautifully-shot adaptation, I recommend it.

  7. What great little photo shoot! I definitely find inspiration in films too. Sometimes it makes me wish I could throw out all my clothes and start over with a wardrobe a fictional character would have.

    I found your blog through a comment left on Meg's latest post, about your interest in The Borgias, and since I am currently loving that show I thought I'd give you a link so you can watch it too! I haven't got any spare money to get the premium channel it plays on, so I watch it here...

    It's streaming, so it's safe (has been for me anyway). The links from putlocker.com are best! Hope you like it. :)

  24. i love the idea of getting inspiration off films, its perfect! love your pictures, sooooo amazing and clever. At the moment I am getting insperation of more vintage films i suppose, especially the red shoes, with pops of colour, and things like the style and colour of hair and makeup.

    I always find inspiration in films set in the 1940s and 50s - ones like A Beautiful Mind, Revolutionary Road, The Edge of Love etc - so many wonderful clothes!
