movies as inspiration: pillow talk

~ 

I have always adored old movies. Pillow talk is one of those movies that feels like a time capsule of the late 1950s with its dated views of sexuality and feminism- but I adore it none the less.  Here's my updated take on the movie as inspiration...

 Having a landline might soon go the way of the party line but for now these adorable throwback phones make me want to curl up in my bed for long chats just like Ms. Day.

of course, just like Ms. Day I want to cozy up with my retro phone in some fantastic pajamas (how chic is her mandarin collar!)

When it was time to go out Ms. Day always looked polished. I think the modern take on her white gown would make the Rock Hudson in your life swoon- no matter his sexual orientation.
