ramblings

Excuse the lack of blogging; Although I am in the midst of finals week--packed with projects, papers, & deadlines, I couldn't sustain from posting. If my To Do list could talk, it would be telling me to sign off blogger, immediately. Having to avoid blogging, & scavenging through my daily-reads & fashion sites for a few days just doesn't cut it for me. So here's a cluster of photos I caught up with via bloglovin' --where you can follow my blog, here*

1. a glimpse at Tom Ford's new line in Harper's Bazaar January 2011

Meet the face of Daisy Buchanon, Carey Mulligan ! The Great Gatsby is by far one of my favorite works of literature by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I'm so ecstatic that one of my newly favorite actresses has been confirmed to starr opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, who will play Jay Gatsby. If you're familiar with the novel, you already know Daisy is the epitome of charm & beauty in Gatsby's eyes. Although she covets luxurious, materialistic , & shallow ideals, I've always invisioned Daisy as a classy and admirable character--perhaps biased with my interest in fashion. ;]

I have to point out that I love the 1920's fashion era due to its relevance in fashion trends, including the empowerment of women, which significantly impacted their style. Voting rights aquired in 1920, lead women to express their inviduality with shorter heamlines and a focus on fashion (i.e. Flappers). A passage in the novel points out, "with the influence of the dress her personality had also undergone a change" (Fitzgerald). Although this passage is in regard to another character, it is taken out of the context of one of Gatsby's glamourous parties. That said, the transformation of how women dressed to reflect their power and independance, mirrored social changes in that era.
