One of the things that I love about Old Hollywood films is that, not only is the fashion gorgeous, but I also tends to be timeless. Never is that more true than in Elizabeth Taylor’s role in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The movie itself is amazing… with Ms. Taylor and her costar Paul Newman at their most sexy. But my favorite thing about the film is Ms. Taylor’s wardrobe. She only has a few looks (and her stunning white dress is the most memorable), but I love her pencil skirt and blouse combo. I decided to recreate the look for everyday. This look is inexpensive, it’s timeless, flattering on many figures, and perfect for a summer work outfit…
Elizabeth Taylor
Role Playing: Elizabeth Taylor
I’ve recreated famous photos of Brigitte Bardot and Lana Turner. This time I’ve attempted to recreate one of my favorite photos of Elizabeth Taylor. I actually bought this shirt from Old Navy a few years ago because of this photo. But it wasn’t until my recent trip to North Conway that I finally got around to take the photo. I guess it’s appropriate that it took me so long to take the picture… Liz was famous for being late (even requesting that she arrive late to her own funeral). I hope I made Ms. Taylor proud…
This is me..
This is the original Elizabeth Taylor photo… (more…)

Of course not… that’s because these Starlets found their “look.” If you are going to be an Everyday Starlet you need to find a signature look that suits you. Finding your style is a long process, and it may (and probably will) evolve over time. (more…)
