The influences and trends of the 1940's & 50's are working today's runways for this fall:
Other than the hilarious faces that Lucille Ball constantly wore so well in every episode, I LOVE "I Love Lucy" for the gorgeous and timeless dresses and put together suits Lucy wore on the show. What ever happened to women wearing dresses during the day with their hair and makeup all done, sporting some of their finest jewelry, only to just run uptown for a few errands?... We need more of that!

 In this "I Love Lucy" episode, in which Ricky and Fred tricked Lucy and Ethel into wearing potato sacks by claiming they were "Marcel originals". Was in itself a satire on Cristobal Balenciaga's innovative "sack" dress, introduced to the world in 1956. Looks like fashion has come full circle! |

It’s amazing how fashion changes through the years huh? I remember my mother letting me watch what seemed like thousands of episodes of “I Love Lucy” back when I was a kid and how I always wanted to be her when it came to playing dress up. I’ve always had a place in my heart for Lucille Ball, so it’s great to see others are still talking about her today! One of my favorite episodes that I still love to watch to this day is The Handcuffs and lucky for me is available on my job’s site DishOnline.com along with more than 70 other classics to choose from! It’s a fantastic and free way to catch all of my favorite from Lucy and a great way to remember how stylish she was. :)
