Screen Style

The Sound of Music is an incredible movie, a film that always uplifts and inspires. Julie Andrews is wonderful in it, and Christopher Plummer is so dashing. But until recently I never gave much thought to the fashion -- but it's pretty great too! Here are a few of my favorite things:

Green and white prints feel so fresh for running around this summer -- singing on a mountainside, climbing trees and falling into lakes are optional.

* Green dress

* Skirt

* Print dress

* Shift

* Top

* Shoes

I'm crazy about the full skirts and nipped waists that the girls wear in the movie. And who doesn't love a cute sun hat?

* Skirt

* Hat

* Camisole

* Flats

* Blouse

And I want a soft, fluttery-sleeve dress perfect for falling in love and kissing in a gazebo!

* Short dress

* Long dress 

Inner Child Dream Home

Growing up, I loved the movie Swiss Family Robinson. It was one of the timeless movies my mom recorded for my sister and me (I'll also have a special place in my heart forever for The Sound of Music thanks to my mom). While there was much to remember fondly about Swiss Family Robinson, perhaps the element that captured my imagination the most was the family's home. It was incredible! It had several different rooms, all nestled into tree branches.

While this Bali home, featured in Cookie, is a bit different it's also amazing. I love its breezy, open-air quality coupled with gorgeous patterns and sumptuous woods. This home deserves its own movie, in my opinion!

Here, let's pop in for a little look:
