Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson

There’s a new movie coming out, W.E, based around Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, starring Andrea Riseborough and James D'Arcy.

Wikipedia says:

“W.E tells the story of two fragile but determined women - Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) and Wallis Simpson - separated by more than six decades.

In 1998, lonely New Yorker Winthrop is obsessed with what she perceives as the ultimate love story: King Edward VIII's abdication of the British throne for the woman he loved, American divorcee Wallis Simpson. But Winthrop's research, including several visits to the Sotheby's auction of the Windsor Estate, reveals that the couple's life together was not as perfect as she thought.

Weaving back and forth in time, the film intertwines Wally's journey of discovery in New York with the story of Wallis (Andrea Riseborough) and Edward (James D'Arcy), from the glamorous early days of their romance to the slow unravelling of their lives in the decades that followed.”

The September 2011 issue of Vanity Fair has done a photo shoot of the pair, and the pictures are simply so beautiful I have to post them. I love this era, the fashion is so elegant! And I’ll be first in line to see the movie!

Dreamy apron

This cute apron can be found at Shabby Apple and not only can you shop after your specific body type, they also provide style tips and nice clothes with funny names. Their shoe collection isn’t much to brag about, though.

Sunny day

Wedding inspiration

In less than two weeks, one of my best friends is getting married. It happens to be on the same day as the Swedish Crown Princess Victoria is tying the knot and I’m a little frustrated with that, actually.

I would have really liked to see the chaos live (on TV) but of course my friend is a thousand times more important! Besides, I suppose they will show reruns for months and months to come so it’s cool.

Anyhow, in the spirit of weddings, here’s some beautiful pictures for you.

        

Hugs, Bettina.

Vackra bilder med målande känsla. Kläderna med inspiration från tidigt 1900-tal är väldigt femme fatale och dramatiska. Fotografen är Wendy Bevan, som jobbar för flera av de stora modemagasinerna, bl.a. Russian Vogue, Italian Marie Claire, Harpers Bazaar och Muse. Dessutom Financial Times, som dessa bilder är hämtade från.

Ha en trevlig tisdagskväll, allihop – jag är hemma igen i Göteborg igen efter några dagar hos Mannen.
