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.
Exploring the desert. In Palm Springs. Went out to the Salton Sea that place is bizarre! Where is my horse ? I made the necklace I am wearing.. I love making jewelry. Love old abandoned buildings.
Opened in 1930 as "Hollywood's Premiere Apartment Hotel" primarily for actors. Made famous from Sunset Blvrd. as the apartment Joe Gillis lived in, this movie is actually what sparked a bond between Nick and I. Claudette Colbert lived at the Alto Nido while first arriving in Hollywood. Lila Leeds, who took an overdose of sleeping pills there and almost died in 1948. obscure screenwriter Eugene Walter also lived there. "drove by the Alto Nido, thought of you"
SWOON! Not sure if I'm more smitten with the hat, or the dress! Wow, just WOW.
