Modern Day Style :: Elizabeth Taylor

Hi friends! I'm so excited to be introducing you to Annemarie today, whose blog, Brunch at Saks, is a firm favourite of mine + is always filled with not only gorgeous fashion + decor, but also the prettiest entertaining + DIY ideas. Annemarie's blog was one of the first I  followed when I started blogging, so to have her guest post today is an honour. 

Thank you Annemarie!

Hi lovely readers! Annemarie here from Brunch at Saks. I was so excited when Rachel asked me to be a part of this post series because, first and foremost, {little bits of lovely} is one of my favorite blogs, and secondly, the gorgeous Elizabeth Taylor is one of all-time favorite movie stars. While Liz seemed to stay on top of all things trendy, I think it was her superb choices in stunning evening wear and dazzling jewelry that really launched her into the worldwide fashion icon she so lovingly became. There were so many looks to choose from when I was creating this style board inspired by her, but ultimately I went with something I thought would be both fun and classic to wear for a night out. 

Here's what I put together:

  3. She was of a ravishing beauty and great talent, one of my favourite actresses. The LBD, black pumps and necklace are the perfect choices to channel a modern Elizabeth Taylor style.
