pin up pretties: on the beach - pt. 4

marilyn, of course.  but this time our pin up pretty isn't perfectly styled - she isn't even perfectly showing off her shape.  but she is beautiful nonetheless.

i would say even more beautiful than when all done up in makeup and doing some pouty face.  then again, that's just me.

love her. just love, love, loooove her.

decor/design

this slipcover = the epitome of winter-cozy. [from the etsy shop BiscuitScout; first found here]

ridiculously cool sparkly holiday decor inside urban outfitters stores

 even though it's a bit overwhelming to have [my idol] audrey's face this large in your home,
i kinda love it.

even though i'm more in the dianna agron camp, 
i actually really really like this look on lea michele [esp. the nude pumps]

i want: jackie/marilyn book

i found out about this upcoming book on the amazing blog a diary of lovely & immediately wanted to read it.  i've been obsessed with marilyn monroe & all things 1950's since a young age, & my room is littered with pictures & calendars of marilyn [& audrey hepburn]. unfortunately, the book is not out until oct. 28.  in the meantime, i decided to hope on over to vanity fair's website to take this quiz from the book, & find out which lovely lady i am most like.

the verdict?

overwhelmingly "marilyn."

interesting . . .

i don't know enough about jackie [other than her lergendary fashion] to really understand how i was chosen as marilyn, so i can't wait to read the book & find out more!

reblog: corset

hop on over to the blog beautifully invisible & read the post, the corset: the sexiest of sexy shapewear.  i'm sort of a sucker for corsets, & retro sexiness in general, & this post provides a great overview of the corset's history, as well as some killer pictures.

here's a couple photos from the post:
