Charlotte seems to be popping up in my life frequently lately. I have been listening to her collaboration with Beck from a while back, Irm, and I'm looking forward to seeing her new film The Tree when it's released on September 30. But the thing that enchants me most about Charlotte is hard to put into words. I think it must be that "French" thing that unimaginative magazines like to print a feature on every three months, attempting to tell us how to apply concealer and tie a scarf like a French girl. But the art of being charming commes les Francaises can't be conveyed in a thousand words. Charlotte's quietly unconventional beauty and her je ne sais quois cannot be taught or even analysed- they must simply be appreciated.

sleek, chic- 1970s style

I'm convinced, high-waisted wide-legged 70's jeans are simply the epitome of chic. I just don't get tired of looking at them, and it's been a good three years since I've been on the bandwagon! Sleek, chic 1970's looks are wonderful in general. I think I would have been very sartorially fulfilled had I been alive in that decade! I have a black crepe floor -sweeping 1970's evening dress with a plunging neckline down to here and dozens of tiny crepe-covered buttons, that I just can't wait to wear. I think it could even work as a sundress. I love 70's style.

south solitary

South Solitary is an Australian film set in 1928 on the remote and windswept lighthouse island, South Solitary. This film looks so charming! A romantic lighthouse, untamed wilderness, moody skies and 1920s style sound like the perfect backdrop to a love story! It's coming out on the 28th of July, though I'm going to a preview a little earlier, and I can't wait!

Jenny and Johnny are releasing an album together! The official release date hasn't yet been announced, though it's slated for late (US) summer and is currently available for pre-order. There's also a sneak peak at a very cute song called 'Scissor Runner' on their website, which you can download when you sign up to their mailing list!
