Modern Day Style :: Marilyn Monroe

I've been looking forward to today's post as I absolutely adore the lovely Marilyn Monroe. So please allow me to introduce you to one of my favourite bloggers, Julie, who I think you will agree has created an extraordinarily fabulous modern day Marilyn.

Hello, everyone! Julie here from Julie Leah: A life & style blog. I'm so happy to be here today participating in Rachel's fabulous modern day style series. When she contacted me about guest posting, I immediately knew I wanted to do an updated Marilyn Monroe. What made her such an icon, aside from her signature beauty mark and sultry glare, was her sensational sense of style. Figure-hugging dresses, perfectly fitted sweaters, glamorous makeup, and striking accessories - that's what we know and love about the original blonde bombshell. Below is my take on a modern Marilyn, complete with her signature scent and iPhone, of course.

Earrings, LOREN HOPE // Bracelet, LOREN HOPE // iPhone Case, KATE SPADE

Thank you so much for having me today, Rachel!
