Lovely Lana Turner. What a killer dress, hey ladies? Izzy and I have spent a lot of time after school this week watching Ziegfeld Girl, a wonderful 1941 black and white movie starring Miss Turner, Hedy Lamarr and Judy Garland. It’s full of show-girls and incredibly lavish costumes. I’m a sucker for an old movie.
Mr. LA is knocking up a Thai green curry in the kitchen as I type. It smells delicious! My plans for this evening involve little more than eating loads of food and snuggling on the sofa with the boy. Hope fully I’ll be able to keep my eyes open long enough to sit through a movie.
My best friend (who I haven’t seen in about 6 months) is coming down from London tomorrow and I can hardly contain my excitement. The weekend will hopefully be filled with lots of delicious food, plenty of wine, a spot of shopping and a good old girly catch up. We’ll kick things off tomorrow with a picnic in the sunshine. My fridge is currently overflowing with food from my favourite local deli, I keep getting a whiff of the garlic salami every time I open the door! We’ve also got olives, dolmades (stuffed vine leaves, my favourite) and huge amounts of strawberries and melon. I can’t wait!
So ladies, what are your glamorous plans for this evening? What is your favourite old movie to curl up in front of and which glamorous star from Hollywood’s golden era do you adore?

Hi, love dolmades and I simply adore watching good old b&w movie. That one is really a killer dress, it amazes me thinking 70 years have passed by. Guess my fav old movie is Casablanca but Audrey (who else?) is my fav star ever, how can we forget Sabrina? Ops, I’d have to mention Humphrey Bogart, he was in both.
Like the sound of your weekend plans!
Tonight I’m home alone, other half on a night out so I’m going to curl up on the sofa and watch Sex and the City, need some escapism tonight after a hard day with the little one.
My two favourite old movies are Breakfast at Tiffanys and Charade, of course with beautiful timeless Audrey!

Your weekend sounds truly fabulous, I love catching up with old friends 🙂
That food is making me drool!
I’m off to watch Eclipse at midnight, believe you me the ONLY reason I’m able to keep my eyes open is for Edward and Jacob, I slept awfully last night, if you can call it sleeping, so am exhausted!!!
Might pop to the shops tomorrow morning, but not sure my feet can take it, but fed up of being stuck indoors and I need a walk about!
I always love curling up in front of a 40’s or 50’s movie, like Breakfast at Tiffanys, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes…anything with Marilyn, Audrey or any of the ‘classics’ in 🙂

Your weekend sounds fab!
I’m not going anywhere this weekend as I’m heavily pregnant with swollen feet, but I am making an anniversary cake for me and hubby’s 1st anniversary.
My favourite thing to curl up and watch is a boxset, whether it be The Wire, True Blood, SATC, or Mad Men.
Enjoy the salami! Can’t wait til this baby comes out and I can eat it again. xxx
Have a great weekend!!
My fave star is Audrey and Marilyn comes a fairly close second. I love to watch Roman holiday and how to marry a millionaire. And a more modern film fave is You’ve got mail.
Hope you had a great weekend, ive given you an award on my blog today xx
@mikapoka Thank you for reminding me that I haven’t wtached Casablanca in the longest time, I adore that movie! Of course Audrey is my favourite too!
@Shadow I hope you had a fabulous evening, you can’t go wrong with a bit of Sex And The City! Those are two of my favourite movies, I love Cary Grant in Charade!
@Laura I hope you enjoyed the movie! Well done for staying up so late! Hope you managed to get out and about, cabin fever sucks!
@Anonymous Girl Poor you in the heat. Hope the baking went well and was therapeutic. I love a good boxset too, I’m dying to watch Mad Men. I have a feeling I’d love it!
@LissyLou I love You’ve Got Mail, I must pick it up on DVD actually!
@nicoletta Thank you so much lovely, I just saw it!
