Cinema Style: Jean Seberg in Breathless

In Jean-Luc Goddard's Breathless, Jean Seberg is fresh, forward, chic, and femminine without effort. The American in Paris love story, is a classic story, but Breathless, is maybe the most fascinating. Seberg is definitely the most fascinating of our favorite American heroines in Paris. 

Here in Los Angeles The Motion Picture Academy of Art and Sciences (aka the people who bring us the Oscars) will hold a screening of a special 50th Anniversary print of Breathless in 35mm. The restoration was done in 2010 and I will be happily report on the screening later in month.

In the meantime, who isn't impressed by the subtle effeminate styling of Jean Seberg in her cropped do and striped wardrobe. Maybe she alone is responsible for my love of stripes. We who are in love with the New Wave, salute Breathless for timeless style.

Under Construction!

Hi Dolls, Sorry It's taken so very long for me to post! I've been hard at work and as always literally under construction. 


I've been preparing to launch a new website so please don't be alarmed if you go to Sweetleighsewn.com and don't see the site. COMING SOON! I've literally been constructing my spring/summer wardrobe as inspiration for Custom offerings to come! And last but not least, I've been taking care of myself! As I hope you are too lovelies!


I'll be better about postings I promise! Much love and inspiration!

Taking Note: Spring Fever!

Spring is officially here next week dolls! While Paris just celebrated the end of designers displaying there Fall 2012 Runway shows, I am very much here and now in love with spring. Which as is normally the case in Los Angeles, feeling very much like it is already here. Not to brag. 

The Spring collections that I am salavating over feature pastels, graphic design, print and contemporary lace, oh my! What may seem quite gurly is so smart and chic. I love how everything from the styling to the textile is familiar but so fresh! And I am thrilled with the chic and sexy return of modesty.
