(Marilyn Monroe as Jean Harlow)
(Dinner at eight)
Isn't she fabulous?! Don't you just love her?! Don't you just love Dinner at eight?! I hadn't watched this movie for ever so long but after buying my new copy of Romantic homes magazine and seeing the darling Jean Harlow - Dinner at eight picture in the back, I was prompted to hunt the movie down and watch it again.
Those sets are so over the top yet absolutely fabulous! I adore old movies. My favourites are Hitchcock thrillers - especially Rear Window. My very favourite onscreen siren is Grace Kelly but I also love Marilyn flicks - who doesn't? lol ;) Another favourite is Doris Day in Pillow Talk.
I guess you could say I have a thing for blondes? lol
If you have any suggestions for ultimate vintage movies with fabulous sets please let me know :)
(how gorgeous were the 50's sets?)
p.s Aussie's, Romantic homes march issue is now available. I purchased mine at Borders. There's a feature on the gorgeous home of beautiful Sara Duckett of the Sadie Olive blog :)

Thanks for stopping by our blog! I must say that I have quite an obsession with Audrey Hepburn and have been meaning to somehow do a post on her and design for a while now! Love the post. You have great taste- your pictures are so elegant- completely my style!
Hi Anna, how funny is this, I have just found your lovely blog and spotted those little poodles!! They look so nicely settled in their new home :0)) Found your link on another bloggers favourites and didnt realise it was you until I popped in for a visit. Looking gorgeous!

PS. must duck out and get that latest romantic homes, looks like a good one!
I just happened to stumble across this blog while looking for a "Red Dust" film still. I'm a huge Harlow fan as well. I can think of two other really good Harlow decor movies, "Wife vs. Secretary" and "Redheaded Woman"-both feature very luxe interior design. Cedric Gibbons was responsible for the lavish sets, including Kitty Packard's luscious white on white boudoir-as well as many other movies at MGM.
