"You are the only English woman I know who manages to be really chic in really hideous clothes".

No.3    Elaborate fashionables
a splendid menagerie[1] (also known as fancy-full gallants[2]) place particular importance upon appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of Self.[3] Historically, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain, a dandy, who was self-made, often strove to imitate an aristocratic style of life despite coming from a middle-class background.

sophisticated maggie

i was going through some of my old folders of images and
came across these lovely Miu Miu ads with Maggie Gyllenhaal..
and looking at them now- made me still like them just as much
as i did when they first came out a few years back..
they seem richly classic and timeless.

i'd have to say that donnie darko and the secretary are my top
two picks for maggie's movies...donnie darko - because that
was when i first noticed her-
and the secretary because it was a beautifully shot film...
and although i haven't seen her in some of her
other roles, i did see the dark night,
which was pretty good also.

and this one with a marshlandish - sunset dropping behind her
on the backdrop while standing on a red carpet..
sometimes she can be such a sophisticated style queen-
even in black shoes with black stockings and black dress
.
and then there is the ad with the bunny...
