Wallis & the Lobster Quadrille

Speaking of Wallis, I can't help but feel this 1930s crepe rayon dress which I have just added to the shop might have been something W.S. would have worn. Maybe it's the high neck (a style she often wore) or the Schiaparelli-lobster-dress orange-red colour that gives me this idea.

Wallis and Edward Movie Confirmed



Hot off the virtual press, the Wallis-Edward movie, W.E. with Madonna at the helm is apparently confirmed by Madge herself on her website.  From the sounds of it, it is going to be structured after the manner of the Julie/Julia franchise.  Side note:  I was watching the PBS series, The Windsors recently, and was intrigued by its suggestion that Edward was the one who re-popularized the straw boater hat in the 1930s.  Never a dull moment in the vintage-obsessed life of the Baroness Von V.
