Happy 4th, everyone!
I found myself in Sonoma this holiday, catching up with a best friend I haven’t seen in over a year.
Mrs. Paten Hughes, ladies and gentlemen!
Wine gives me a headache, so when I find myself in that neck of the woods, I lean more towards the scenery than the tasting rooms. This place is straight out of a Nancy Meyers film—incredibly beautiful, especially this time of year.
So today's post meets at my favorite intersection: film and fashion, specifically Nancy Meyer’s circa 80s to early 00’s. A time capsule of great storytelling. No one does a better rom-com. Nora Ephron? A close 2nd… but I think I still prefer Nancy…
Here we go!
It’s Complicated!
Jake Adler - And I like that you stopped getting bikini waxes. You've gone native. I dig it!
Father of The Bride!
George Banks - Drive carefully. And don't forget to fasten your condom.
Annie Banks - Dad!
George Banks - Seat belt! I meant, I meant seat belt.
Parent Trap!
Nick Parker - I told Hallie.
Meredith Blake - You did? And?
Nick Parker - She went ballistic. She started yelling in French. I didn't even know she spoke French.
Private Benjamin!
I'm not sure what we can glean as far as fashion is concerned, but this might be one of the best. How good was Eileen Brennan?!
Speaking of communism… I started Young Stalin this weekend and can’t put it down. It’s a really fascinating, very dark, but well-written read.
Something’s Gotta Give!
Harry - I just have one question: What's with the turtlenecks? I mean it's the middle of summer.
Erica - Well I guess I'm just a turtleneck kind of gal.
Fin!
See you next week : )
