We'll see you after the weekend!

A Sunday Kind of Love
1960's girl group cult artist, Josephine Sunday, performing on American Bandstand and doing her best to make you forget Ronnie Spector's name.
Joan Arden
Trivia time: In 1925, MGM teamed with Movie Weekly magazine to hold a contest, bestowing $1,000 upon the lucky reader who chose the perfect name to rechristen their latest starlet, Lucille LeSueur. But, there were multiple entries with the winning name: "Joan Arden." Rather than award multiple prizes, the thrifty Metro went with the second choice: "Joan Crawford."
Two Different Worlds

Crowning Glory
As suggested by our beloved Toby Worthington, wouldn't this charming chapeau have been the perfect finishing touch to our Easter ensemble?
Polka Dots and Moonbeams
Remember, darlings:
When choosing your spring wardrobe, don't let patterns overpower your natural assets.
