6 Silent Screens Stars You've Probably Never Heard Of

I do realize the title of this post is a bit of a pun and it wasn't intentional, but I had a bit of a giggle about it so decided to keep the title name.

Anyhow... I was perusing for some hair ideas for this year's Halloween costume (I'm going as Betty Boop!) and happened upon all of these silent screen star actresses I had never heard of but were all so lovely I just had to share.

Perhaps November will be Silent Movie month and I'll finally get around to watching movies before the talkies.

New Vintage Inspired Fashion Editorial (A Little Preview)

A couple of weeks ago I styled a vintage inspired photoshoot with my lovely friend, Sade. We traveled along the California coast being inspired by the landscape. You might remember the backstage photos from this post: Behind the Scenes, AV Fashion Editorial.

I am so excited to share the full editorial with you on AV soon! But for now, here is a little sampling of vintage inspired loveliness.

This shoot was so fun! I even got to try my hand at hair styling! I wanted to do really soft romantic hairstyles, yay, so very happy with the photos!!! I hope you love them as much as I do!

Daily Inspiration: The Late Night Journey

I am inspired by the pretty dark things at the moment. A bit mysterious, a little ghoulish, but still lovely. Just enough to give chills but still inspire. I hope you enjoy the poem below by Rose Terry Cooke.

Night Comes Creeping
Night comes creeping slowly o'er me,
Like a vapor cold and gray;
Dim the track that lies before me,
Lost the lingering smile of day.

As a river, nearing ocean,
Drops the brooklet's merry bell,
I forget hope's wild emotion;
Love and life, farewell, farewell!

Eyes above me raining sorrow,
Lips too tender to be true,
In the sunshine of tomorrow
Glow and sweetness shall renew.

I have trod a weary measure,
Fairy-tales no more I tell.
False is pain, and fleeting pleasure;
Love and life, farewell, farewell!

Softly through the darkened heaven,
Like a vision in the night,
Float the purple wings of even;
No more laughter, no more light.

Close mine eyes, worn out with weeping,
Weary pulses rest as well!
In the dust and silence sleeping,
Love and life, farewell, farewell!

Weekend Shop Update Preview: The Leaves Are Turning

Goodness gracious, I am loving all the gorgeous Autumn colors everywhere! Even in sunny California, we do get a few burnt honey, rich persimmon, and aged green colors. Mmm...lovely. I love Autumn so much, perfect for throwing on a vintage coat and little tights and pretty little shoes.

This weekend I am adding a few new pretties to the shop, I hope you adore them as much as I do! My favorite is probably the 'Clover Limerick' vintage 1940s dress that has NEVER BEEN WORN! It still has it's original tags! Oh me, oh my!

Vintage Inspired Outfit: Wrapped in a Novel

wrappedinanovel-outfitinspiration

"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment." - Jane Austen

Any other Jane Austen novel fans out there? Or book fans in general? Something about the chilly Fall evenings makes me want to curl up in a duvet with a bit of tea on the nightstand and get wrapped up in a classic novel.

On my nightstand at the moment... "Tess of the D'ubervilles" which I have not started and really shouldn't since I haven't finished "Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire" or "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" by Charles C Mann.

What's on your reading list for Fall?
