GlamAmor-ous Men of Style--Iconic Steve McQueen Style in 1968's BULLITT
GlamAmor Posted by on Jun 13, 2010
Whether you're a man or a woman, I can sum up the reason to see Bullitt in two words: Steve McQueen. Peter Yates directed Bullitt in 1968 and captured Steve at his height. It was written to his strength as a man's man, a tough guy with a rough pas read more
Out and About--The Penthouse
GlamAmor Posted by on Jun 12, 2010
One of the best things about living in Santa Monica is that so much of this wonderful city is right along the ocean. Friday night was cocktail hour with friends at The Penthouse at The Huntley Hotel on 2nd Street, which is a favorite place of mine to go. It's located on the top floor of read more
Cinema Style File--French Chic in Henri Georges-Clouzot's 1954 DIABOLIQUE
GlamAmor Posted by on Jun 11, 2010
As many of you know, I am an enormous fan of classic cinema. Though there are, of course, still good movies being made today, I often feel there's a little bit lost in it as an art form. Or at least the art form that I tend to prefer, certainly. The silent movies of the 1920s. &nbs read more
Hmmmm...
GlamAmor Posted by on Jun 11, 2010
This is pretty funny. Though I don't remember thinking about Simone Signoret when I chopped off my hair a couple years ago, clearly the influence of her style resonated in my mind. Above is a photo still from Diabolique of Simone having breakfast at the kitchen table after a hard night.. read more
All in the Family
GlamAmor Posted by on Jun 10, 2010
Last year I went home to Washington to celebrate one of my father's important milestone birthdays (don't worry, Dad, I won't share which one). Now I think we all know that you can't have a family celebration without breaking out the old photos, and I was absolutely blown away when I saw this o read more
Out and About--Hotel Casa del Mar
GlamAmor Posted by on Jun 8, 2010
The Hotel Casa del Mar is one of my favorite places. In a city that's often libeled for its lack of history, I love that this hotel proves quite the contrary is true in Los Angeles. The hotel owes its beginnings to the bathhouses of the late 1800s that were situated here along the ocean read more
Your Best Accessory--Hair
GlamAmor Posted by on Jun 5, 2010
I get two comments on the street more than any other. One is some form of "I love your hair!" and the flurry of questions that accompany the compliment...what products I use, how I style it, and who cuts it for me. The other comment I hear is some form of "I love what you're we read more
On Trend--Chiffon, Taffeta, and Tulle
GlamAmor Posted by on Jun 2, 2010
Due to the luxury found in the fantasy of the movies, chiffon, taffeta, and tulle (oh my!) have long been turned into glorious gowns for actresses. Case in point, the Edith Head creation adorning Grace Kelly in Rear Window above. At the time, those types of gowns didn't really have a pla read more

Great Green Idea!
GlamAmor Posted by on May 6, 2010
As I looked through my latest crop of fashion magazines, I happened across a page in this month's People Style Watch where they extoll the virtue of vintage and how vintage shopping helps our efforts to be green. They gave a particular shout out to those of us on eBay. Thanks People read more
Just a Jeans and T-Shirt Girl
GlamAmor Posted by on May 6, 2010
Who me? Well, not exactly. I adore my dresses, as anyone who knows me can tell you. But because I surf, I can be a real t-shirt and jeans kind of girl on the weekends. If I want to have lunch or go shopping after the beach, I'll just pair the ever classic combo with ball read more
Certified Pre-Owned...Clothes
GlamAmor Posted by on May 1, 2010
Many companies, such as those within the auto industry, offer their customers used products that are considered to be "Certified Pre-Owned." This is a label that promises the buyer that the item has been thoroughly tested and proven to be one of quality. It suddenly occurred to me that I read more

Easy to Love
GlamAmor Posted by on Mar 14, 2010
Once upon a time, I needed an affordable wardrobe for work. That is how my relationship began with vintage about a decade or so ago. Fortunately, that element is still true today as you can find vintage at fantastic prices...like going on a trip to J. Crew but you come back with a one-of-a-kind dres read more
Modern Muse
GlamAmor Posted by on Feb 13, 2010
For nearly 20 years, I have loved classic cinema and learned so much from it. Costume design is probably at the top of that list. Adrian, Banton, Orry-Kelly, Travilla...the list is long and distinguished. But my favorite designers are two women--Edith Head and Helen Rose.
At a time when costume des read more
