While doing my hair for New Year's Eve (super cute disco-style curls - think Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2013 runway - that were immediately destroyed by a nasty fog that drenched the coastal area last night) I watched the absolute cutest Audrey Hepburn film, How to Steal a Million (1966).
The movie is light and fun, starring Audrey as a chic Parisian girl about town and daughter of a wealthy art forger. She crosses paths with a handsome burglar (who tries to steal one of her father's forged artworks) and romance and shenanigans ensue.
While not as whimsically whacky as Breakfast at Tiffany's or nostalgically romantic as Roman Holiday, it's a fun film and Hepburn's role as a French society girl is the perfect excuse for a lovely group of costumes by Audrey's favorite, Givenchy.

| A bright yellow skirt suit, white fishnets, and a bouffant? So swingin' sixties |

Everyone has been raving about someone on Mad Men singing the song "Zou Bisou Bisou" and so while on iTunes yesterday I checked out the song and fell in love with Gillian Hills and then I promptly went on a 60s French pop music spree. The music just rocks, you know? and it makes you want to get on your feet and dance, let your hair loose, and dream of looking like Brigitte Bardot. Even the French version of "These Boots are Made for Walking" sounds better because, you know, it's in French.
The French in the 60s were just so stylin' and they really had a great mix of classic early 60s styles (small waists and the whole 'bombshell' look) and mod fashions not to mention timeless French chic classiness. So break out the records, tie a scarf haphazardly around your neck, and celebrate all that is 60s French pop music!
