Fashion In Film Friday - 'The Notebook'

What an absolute sappy gusher the 2004 romantic drama, 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks was, starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams about a young couple falling in love during the early 40's...

I am certainly not a 'chick flick' kind of gal, but I adored this film solely for the costumes that were on the mark authentic representations, of the feminine & fabulous 1940's. 'Allie', played by McAdams is the proper and polished rich girl & the wardrobe selected for her character in the movie was sheer perfection in replicating the swimwear, business wear and casual wear of that era...

The style of the 40's is easy to pull off for your own self, if that's the time period of fashion styles that tickles your fancy.  Anything floral and flouncy, with muted hues will suffice.

Random fact: People have been so enamored with the romanticism of this film that they have even went as far as to have their engagement photos mimicking scenes from the movie, as pictured below...

Spotlight Saturday

Every year since 1946, France has been the host for one of the world's most prestigious film festivals.  Held annually, usually in May (this year May 11th - 22nd), in the resort town of Cannes, in the South of France.  Like any other awards show that has to do with movies, the Cannes Festival is all about the red carpet fashions.  It's just getting started, but here are some highlights of what the paparazzi has snapped so far!
