I’m obsessed with old movies. Those actresses from the 1930s and ’40s had their men wrapped around their fingers, didn’t they? Look at Lauren Bacall and Katharine Hepburn: They usually played well-mannered, headstrong, fast- talking women who could make a man’s man like Humphrey Bogart stop dead in his tracks. When these dames entered a crowded room, everyone would break off mid-sentence and just stare.
Most women have that kind of moment once in their lives: their wedding day. As an avid fan of Hollywood’s Golden Age, I can think of no better way to channel Lauren or Katharine than to top off your wedding look with some classic, vintage-inspired jewelry. The retro-glam pieces from One World Designs fit this bill splendidly. Imagine walking down the aisle wearing dramatic filigree chandelier earrings, with a feather-and-rhinestone flower hairpin holding back your pin curls. Combine adornments like these with a healthy dose of cool confidence, and you’re ready for your own show-stopping moment. And what’s more powerful than that?

I’m thinking more Philadelphia Story than Bringing Up Baby. But hey, neurotic can be sexy!
I think Bringing Up Baby was the last Hepburn movie I saw. She DID get the guy in the end!
And yes… I tell myself all the time that neurotic is sexy.
Neurotic BETTER be sexy! Else why would my hubby have chosen me? (snicker)But I agree with Lisa…Hepburn was a tough, no-nonsense woman who flouted Hollywood convention by dressing in slacks and having a long love affair with a man who wasn’t exactly single. A woman who knows what she wants. And on the wedding aisle, the bride definitly knows what she wants—that hunk of man waiting for her at the altar!
Go, girls!

I think I must have those earrings.
But I must say, I tend to remember Katharine Hepburn playing neurotic, hyperventilating types. Not that every strong woman doesn’t have those moments. Perhaps she was just representing that side of us?
