My father loves Alfred Hitchcock films. So naturally, I grew up watching them. When I think of black and white, I think of Kim Novak in Vertigo in this white coat over her black outfit and gloves. Film critics say the contrast of the colours represents the duality of her character in the film. Last winter I tried on a gorgeous white coat in David Jones, but I didn't buy it. Sometimes I still dream about that coat! Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Anyway, with the 40s/50s inspired peplum trend, I do feel like I'm channeling Kim Novak at least a little bit here.

I've been reading a lot of fantastic literature on body acceptance/image/confidence lately, so I've decided to start reviewing some of that material. You can check out my first review here.
