Brings back memories

As a child I remember my mum purchasing an amazing book filled with portraits of glamorous Hollywood actresses. This book took up many of my hours, as I flicked through the pages wishing I could be one of these beautiful women. Their beauty astounded me - everything from their hair, to their make up, to their clothes and the dreamy finish of the actual photo.
I feel this book could have ultimately started my love affair with all things vintage.
So to revisit my childhood I took myself to the National Portrait Gallery to see their exhibition of Glamour of the Gods Hollywood Portraits.
I walked around in awe of all the photographs of actresses such as Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe and my favourite Katherine Hepburn. I reminisced the times I spent looking at that pivotal book and noticed all the classic movies these actresses had been in that I had seen with my mum or heard her talk about.
The exhibition was beautiful and I highly recommend you to see it, es specially any one who, as a child dreamed of being like these women just like I did.

Exhibition is on until October 23rd

Katherine Hepburn - stunning!
