Fab pictures, and amazing locations! I love the shorts you are wearing, are they vintage, handmade or repro? (I need some just like that and trying to figure out where I can buy them!). P x
So awesome! I am bookmarking this page to my computer so I can come back here when I'm looking for ideas to sew. I just adore vintage/western/Mexican stuff. You look so great! Can you show us more of your jewelry and maybe how you make it? That's very cool.
My Domb 'party line' dress,an early Emma Domb label from the 40s, I found it at American Vintage on Hollywood Blvrd. This dress has so much fabric and is so fun to wear! I love thrift store shopping in LA!
Franklin Park Canyon is one of the locations where It Happened One Night filmed, you can visit the pond where they swam across even! This is one of my favorite movies and I love the Hitchhiking scene, I decided to pay homage to good ol Claudette Colbert which happens to be my Husbands number one old Hollywood crush. Photos were taken at Franklin Canyon Park,many movies have been filmed here, its really a great park 7 miles from Hollywood but it makes one feel you are in the country :) My Dress is from the 1930s, and is absolutely one of my favorites in my closet! I hope you enjoyed the photos,blogger was giving me some trouble so I apologize for the jumpy layout.. Photos taken by my husband and edited by me.
Finally made it out to the beautiful Forest Lawn cemetery. Many celebrities graves are here. I have always heard about such awful staff behavior, we did not encounter rude staff and it was very quiet and peaceful, although I think if you were to hop the gates to see your fav celebrity you will get asked to leave. You are able to find the sites such as Jean Harlows and Mary Pickford but you cannot go in and see them, and if you think about jumping the gate,they do have cameras. I was however brave enough to go see Clara Bows Grave and it's very easy to see from the "gate". I was thinking to myself, why can't the celebrities have private tombs just for family after all they did share so much of themselves publicly. So many more updates to share when I have time!!
