Marilyn, mon amour...

Her early years as a model

Hoy domingo se cumplen 50 años de la muerte de Marilyn Monroe. A pesar de ello su recuerdo y su imagen sigue tan presentes en nuestra memoria que parece que nunca nos haya abandonado.

¿Qué se puede decir de ella que no se haya dicho antes? Poco la verdad… Por eso,y como pequeño homenaje a ella, prefiero dejaros con algunas fotografías íntimas que muestran a la Marilyn más íntima y personal…

Nunca te olvidaremos...

Today is the 50 anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death. Its’ amazing how  her memory and images are still so present in our lives. It seems she never left us. What can one say that it has not been said before?? Little to be honest…

That’s why, as an homage to her, I prefer to show you some pictures that show the most intimate and close Marilyn…

Always in our minds...

 

This is one of my favourites...

She loved to read

Stripes were already a trend in the 50's!!!

She was among the first to wear jeans

  

With husband Arthur Miller (another of my favorites)

Yes ladies, she had a big ass, cellulite... and despite that, she was one of the most sexiest and desirable women of history...

Ya os enseñé este vestido en un look de invierno aquí. Pero me gusta tanto que he decidido llevarlo también en verano adaptándolo a la estación (¡¡otra muestra de lo versátiles que pueden llegar a ser los vestidos!!).

¿Qué os parece chicas?¿Vosotras también adaptáis prendas para invierno y verano?

¡Gracias por vuestros comentarios!

I already showed you this dress in a winter look version here. But I like it so much that I’ve decided to wear it again in a more summery look.

What do you think ladies? Do you also “adapt” pieces for both winter and summer seasons??

Thanks for your kind comments!!!
