Chic Inspiration

I was looking for a particular photo of Catherine Deneuve recently when I started to notice that many of her looks were reminding me of the Chloe collection for fall 2010.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think the late 1960's and early 1970's were one of the chicest times in fashion history.  These clothing in these photos have a timeless quality and could be worn today.  Catherine Deneuve will definitely be my inspiration when I'm getting dressed this fall!  Enjoy!

Chic in La Chamade

I don't even remember what I was looking for when I came across the photo of Catherine Deneuve above but it stopped me in my tracks. It looks so timeless that it could have been taken yesterday. It's actually from the 1968 French film La Chamade (Heartbeat) that I can't believe I didn't know about before! I can already tell that I am going to love it! Yves Saint Laurent designed the wardrobe and as much as I love his designs in Belle du Jour, let's face it, it's a weird movie. La Chamade was written by Francoise Sagan and has Catherine Deneuve looking tres chic as she chooses between a life of wealth and privilege with an older man or a less than comfortable one with a poor but handsome younger man. We should all have such issues! I can't wait to see it! Bon weekend!
