Up at the Villa...

Anne Bancroft is looking fabulous.

Her best line of the film?

"...you know, sex and champagne in the afternoon or something like that."

And the sets aren't half bad either... 1930s fascist architecture and Florentine villa casualness meets Sister Parish chic. Definitely worth a view. 

Some rooms I love...

 Over the last few months I've been collecting some photographs of my favorite rooms while I've been looking through some of my favorite blogs. 

Take a look...

 

The MOST amazing dining room in Marcelo Lucini's apartment.

I'm obsessed with the color, and the gilt chairs are fantastic.

Ever since my best friend painted her bedroom black, I've become enamored with black walls... especially with a huge gilt mirror.

Loving the black walls and the collection of portraits...

Completely in love. 

Wouldn't change a thing.

Not only do I just love this as a photograph, but I love it as an actual bedroom. The draping of the fabric is a work of art in itself.

A room by Jonathan Adler... 

the chandelier, the portrait, the bust, the orange chair, and the turquoise? 

Fantastic.

...and I just saw this apartment today on one of my favorite blogs, The Neo Lifestyle

I'm completely obsessed with it. I've never seen an entire apartment and thought, "ok, I could live here without changing a thing."

Neo-Regency Hair

I've always loved men's hair from the Regency period... so wild and untamed, but at the same time so calculated and deliberate... I've been attempting it for a while now, but just can't get it right on my own...

 

Prince Regent George IV had the right idea...  and so did this little article...

 

... and so did the costume directors of Vanity Fair...

 

...Colonel Thomas Pinckney, Jr. was obviously very stylish as seen in this c. 1801-2 miniature from the Gibbes Museum, recently on display at the Winter Antiques Show...

 

Neo-Regency hairstyles from a recent Burberry Prorsum show... amazing how right at home these hair styles would have been 200 years ago... now it's time for me to master it for the upcoming Charleston International Antiques Show Preview Party...
