1950's What an Era!

I was on the computer on pinterest.com and I was looking at the beautiful women and dresses of the 50's. I was born in 1959 so I just made the 50's. I have always loved the elegance and beauty of the movie stars of that era and the dresses are just gorgeous. What a simpler time the 1950's were and sometimes I find myself wishing I was back in the 50's! I know some things in this era have made life easier but I really think things were more relaxed during that time. I thought I would share a few of the beautiful women and dresses of the 50's today. Enjoy!!

Don't you just love this picture of these ladies having coffee/tea together! Look how dressed up they were!

What a gorgeous strapless party dress this is! I love the colors!

1950's style wedding dress.

1954 Dior Gown

The women that wore this dress would have looked so elegant and beautiful!

This dress is a favorite of mine! I would love to have worn this dress and had the figure for it-LOL!!!

Vintage Dior

The hats of this era were just beautiful too! How graceful and chic!

Well that is all I have at the moment, but I thought it was nice strolling through the lovely era of the 50's.

    Back when movie stars were truly movie stars. Audrey Hepburn was always my favorite with her cute pixie hair-do.
