So I watched Gosford Park last night for possibly the millionth time but despite my insane familiarity with the flick I never fail to be gobbled up in awe by the literally to-die-for fashions...
The 30s really was a decade of high style and from Kristen Scott Thomas in Marlene Dietrich-esque tailoring to Jeremy Northam cutting a handsome shape as Ivor Novello in a sharp tux this film makes me wish the days of uber glam hunting parties and weekends at the country pile were still common place, if only for the opportunity to dress up of course. 
So enamoured was I, yet again, that I almost bid on a fox fur stole, complete with head of course, on eBay thanks to Maggie Smith making it seem oh-so the height of dead animal cool. If you love a bit of period dress then you need to watch this film but, to be honest, it's so ruddy good you should probably watch it anyway if you haven't already. Think murder mystery in sick frocks and sexy smoking jackets. Death never looked so good...oh yes, I went there.

I saw Maggie Smith’s dress (in that card game part) in person. I fell in love with it, that I made a mental note to see the movie it was from. I really enjoyed Gosford Park, and having Clive Owen it was such an unexpected treat. I’m not surprised I enjoyed this movie, because I used to love “Clue” as a child. That classic, who-done-it story.
Back to the clothes, I would wear any of these gowns to this day. To me the 30s silhouette is very similar to the 70s Halston silhouette too. Maybe this is the cruella in me, but I am bizarrely attracted to head attached furs and crocs too...
Love gosford park..
