film inspiration: the great gatsby



happy sunday!

so yesterday i watched the great gatsby -- or to be more precise, the second half. it was GREAT in terms of aesthetics, and though the way it was shot & the somewhat soap-opera-style may have thrown some people off, i highly enjoyed it. i also read the book late last year for my english class, and i have a literary crush on f. scott fitzgerald anyway, so... xD

and it was such an inspiration! the 1920's were such a liberating time, as far as women's fashion goes. this movie's costumes were great. so look on! though you won't believe how ridiculously hard it is to find screenshots of the movie -- i couldn't find any of jordan or nick, and i really prefered jordan to daisy. oh well. (also, sam waterston was excellence in this movie, though he looked a little strange without the grey... haha.)







ahaha, i love this swimming attire! <3



ah, i did find one of jordan! she's the brunette.



so, how do you feel about the great gatsby? if you've neither read nor watched, i highly recommend doing both.

with love,
rachel. <3
