My View: August Instagram Round-Up

My day job is in the lingerie industry and we got to go to the Lingerie Francaise Exhibition during market week. I instagramed a few pics from the exibit, including this 1952 Lejaby Overwire. I am really on the hunt for a vintage overwire for my vintage lingerie collection. 

Summer in NYC is filled with outdoor movies in the parks. I was lucky to catch The Women afterwork one night with friends.  If you haven't seen this, do! It stars Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer and Rosalind Russell. The fashion show scene is to die for! 

Treated myself to some new shoes. I love these! Miranda from Re-Mix. 

ps. They come in green, too! 

I've worked in Union Square for the past 3 years and I love the weekly greenmarket there. We moved our office to Chelsea recently so I snapped some lovely pics from the market on my last day in the neighborhood.

Let's keep Instagram, ya know, instant! Follow me @BobbinBombshell to see these snaps and more in real time!

Fashionable History: The Women

I was lucky enough to watch The Women (1939) last night on TCM. It's a funny film with an all female fast talking cast gossiping about their marriage troubles. The Women stars Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Joan Fontaine, Paulette Goddard, and Rosalind Russell whom in my mind stole the show. One of the best parts of the film however is the fabulous fashion show. This segment (with some amazing 1940's looks from the film's costume designer, Adrian) is shown completely in color while the rest of the film is black and white. If you haven't seen it you must!
