Did anyone watch the documentary on Tuesday night about Marilyn Monroe on More 4? It's completely rekindled my obsession over her style and elegance, and I now want to make totally Marilyn-inspired, wardrobe decisions. My Nan always says she's so happy she was born in an era when stars like Marilyn (and namely Frank Sinatra, my Nan's 'boyfriend'...) were around, and I have to say I'm very jealous I wasn't about in that period. As the cliché goes, they just don't make stars like that any more.
When she was dressed down, her clothes were so simple and effortless. Not with the same elegance as Audrey Hepburn's day wear, but with a chic, classic cool all her own. Come the night time, she oozed glamour, sophistication and sex appeal. I tried to find a shot of her wearing the heart print, black headscarf that was shown in the documentary the other night, but can't seem to find one anywhere. I'm fast becoming a convert to the headscarf cause.
What do you think of Marilyn's style? Is she one of your inspirations too?

She's not an inspiration to me personally, but I have a friend who loves her. I have to say though, she really was beautiful, and you're so right- she just excudes glamour x
