nouvelle vague "dance with me" from bande a part

I just watched this video on the blog 5th and State and fell in love!  It's French, it's quirky, it's glamorous and it made me smile today.  It's been a busy day and I haven't felt very inspired, so this was just the thing I needed.  She has done all the research, so please go read her post to find out more.  It's from the 1964 movie 'Bande a part' by Jean Luc Goddard.  Goddard influenced a trend with this film, called Nouvelle Vague, or New Wave. According to Debra's post, this was an era of breezy Bosa Nova styled music combined with "youthful frolic and irresponsibility". I am definitely putting this one in my Netflix queue!  Thanks, Debra!

Right after I posted this I stumbled across a post from earlier this summer where a bottle of Nouvelle Vague nail polish by Chanel was a giveaway on the Fashion Pearls of Wisdom blog.

Hmm?!  Is Nouvelle Vague a trend?

Busy Weekend! Proud Mama!

I never made it to the Post-line Friday, as I spent the entire day creating flowers, out of ribbon, to be sewn on costumes for the community performance of Ballet Under the Stars.  I really don't know how to sew, so (ha! sew-so) the task of creating all of these flowers was kind of overwhelming.  BUT!  I did it and the girls looked beautiful and everyone ooooed and ahhhhed over the costume with the blue flowers.  Unfortunately, you can't really see them in this picture, but they are there!  Every skirt has three large flowers above the ruffles.

SEE YOU tommorrow with a longer post!
