Fashion in Film: A Most Violent Year









As an ardent fan of the gangster genre, I was excited to see A Most Violent Year, directed and written
by J.C. Chandor. The film is set in New York City in 1981. It is about an immigrant business owner, Abel(Oscar Isaac) who is dealing with several crisis as he races to make the biggest deal of his career.  It follows Abel navigate the gray areas as he builds his empire and reputation on what he thinks are fair and honest priniciples in an industry where most of his competitors are either crooked or mobsters.

Working Girl



Hello my beautiful people,

How are your holiday preparations coming along?  I apologize for my disappearance. All due to a good reason though, the cold suddenly creeped up without notice. Since I missed you so much, I decided to brave the cold for photos.

Polka Peplum Dress




Happy Friday Beauties and Gents,

I warned you that I have a thing for polka dots. I was quite excited when I found this dress. A few years back, I was devastated when a polka dot dress that I owned no longer fit.  Little did I know that I would run into this one.
