Marion Cotillard does the 1920s again in Pink, Flapper-Style Bow Pumps!

Karla Manlangit — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:51:01 +0000

Seems like only yesterday that this blog featured Marion Cotillard as a chic Adriana, a 1920s flapper darling in the highly-acclaimed Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris. And now, she returns in this era that fits her so well in a yet to be titled drama that coincides burlesque dancing and prostitution.

We see her in these Daily Mail pap shots, donning the flapper gear with, of course, the shoes to match. And they’re hard to miss, being pink and prettily bow’d up.

Cotillard has been spotted filming in Prospect Park, Brooklyn alongside Joaquin Phoenix. Jeremy Renner is also mentioned to appear in this film directed by James Gray. The movie is set to be released next year.

And if you’re craving the 1920s flapper look, you’ll love these vintage-style pumps we found on Mod Cloth which sport bows for every mood and personality. Check them out!

1920s Sunday: High Heeled Leather Brogues by Bally!

Karla Manlangit — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 05:16:36 +0000

Sundays always hold an especially charming vintage vibe. I’ve started out mine with a good cup of hot coffee with a good shot of cold milk. Then I played some Cole Porter for added romance. Perfect. And lounging around online, I didn’t expect to find the perfect pair of shoes to epitomize today. But here it is.

Oasis Perforated Leather Brogues,$850, Bally, Net-a-Porter

Bally’s Oasis leather brogues are classically chic and bit reminiscent of my cafe latte. Perforated white leather contrasts with glossy brown leather trim, epitomizing the crisp style of the 1920s. J’adore!

These shoes are begging to be worn with a dress. Net-a-Porter recommends something dark in the form of Bally’s navy pleated cotton-blend dress. For a bag, the chestnut leather PS1 satchel from Proenza Schouler matches the shoe’s vintage style well. Keep jewelry minimal and simple, like Aurelie Biderman’s Do Brazil gold-plated bracelet.

And can I say, it’s a really smart Sunday outfit that can go from day brunch to nighttime tea. These leather brogues are available on Net-a-Porter, ladies, and ready to give you that perfect, vintage-inspired weekend.
