Louise Brooks
Ever since I saw “Pandora’s Box” in one of my film classes at UCSD, I had a fascination with Louise Brooks. I’ve always loved the era of the 20’s and 30’s. I love the movie and musical “Chicago” and have seen both the movie (many times) and the musical (just once). Everyone seemed to be dressed as if they were always going out on the town, no matter what time of day it was.
My most favorite thing about Louise Brooks was her hair style. When I think of the “Page Boy” or “Bob” haircut, I think immediately of the sleek banged look of Louise Brooks.
I’ve been growing my hair out because I know my husband loves it when my hair is longer. With the weather being all over the map these days and trying to chase after a toddler, I’ve found that I’m constantly opting for putting my hair up in a pony-tail rather than taking time to really work on it. My hair is very thick and requires quite a bit of attention and time, which I really don’t have in the morning before taking off for a job that starts at 6am!
To resolve that issue, I have decided to go back to what I love best. I’m sorry my dear husband, but the long locks just had to go. I also think it went perfect with my outfit for FNO, don’t you think?
Outfit: Burberry sunglasses; H&M dress, necklace and bangles; Michael Kors pumps; Judith Leiber vintage purse
I really loved Diary of a Lost Girl if you have a chance to see it. It streams for free on Netflix right now, but I didn’t check the quality. She’s really raw and unfocused and still so passionate…it’s mesmerizing.
I have seen some of “Diary of a Lost Girl” in my film classes, but got to see all of “Pandora’s Box” in the same class. I plan on purchasing her movies because I think she’s brilliant.
Very cute post & picture!
Thanks! 🙂
