in the bag: an ode to the vintage purse
 |
| Dior suede handbag, ca. 1947 |
 |
| textured linen box purse, ca. 1980s |
 |
| Edwardian beaded fringe purse, ca. 1900s |
 |
| red vinyl handbag, ca. 1960s |
 |
| colorblock purse, ca. 1950s |
 |
| tortoise lucite box purse, ca. 1950s |
Don't get me wrong, I still have way too many; they're often an affordable (and functional) way to spruce up one's ensemble! But, according to this History of Handbags article, they also held a good deal of gravitas, signifying power and status, for instance.

Classic Movie Pick of the Week: Rosemary's Baby
Our classic movie pick of the week is Roman Polanksi's iconic 1968 horror film, Rosemary's Baby. The movie tells the story of a young woman, Rosemary (played by Mia Farrow) who is recently married and living in a new apartment with extremely strange neighbors. Rosemary becomes pregnant, and begins to feel extremely ill and becomes worried that her husband is conspiring against her with the neighbors. By today's standards, the movie isn't extremely terrifying, and is mostly remembered for the iconic pixie cut that Rosemary cuts her hair into during the middle of the film. Rosemary's look starts out with cute two piece blouse and skirt sets with lots of Peter Pan collars. Rosemary begins to wear more roomy maternity clothes throughout the film, and eventually, she is reduced to wearing roomy nightgowns. The movie is now available for instant streaming on Netflix, we highly recommend it!
