Love the photo of Marily Monroe reading, I find it a bit sad she is just remembered as a sex bomb while she was an avid reader and loved classic literature.

I love this! beautiful photos!

Chantelle said...

Wow... I'm kinda obsessed with these images right now. Can you imaging what people will think of our fashion and interior decor sense 40 years from now? It's so paralyzing for me... I am always looking for a style that is fresh, and simple yet timeless. Very tricky to do so when it comes to home decor.

I love these. Nothing like vintage photos, and nothing like a stars home... The epitome of surreal, and real.

All these pictures are amazing! Specially love the Marilyn one, so beautiful colours, like in the one of Elvis, the James Dean picture, and love Kirk Douglas house, like quite lovely with the paintings behind him.
