When it comes to luxury brands, I like them them best when they are advertised in a glamourous way. I'm talking in a full on, 'old hollywood starlet' type way. Unattainable, aspirational and almost fantastically glamourous. Sadly not many companies can carry it off. That's why I was so excited when I came across the latest Cartier advert...
Glorious! and all the more wonderful because it immediately made me think of one of my favourite old school Hollywood movies - the 1938 classic comedy Bringing up Baby, starring the handsome Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn.
It's hard to believe that this film bombed when it first came out! If you haven't seen it yet, you are in for a treat, so go find it right now...

LOVE Bringing up Baby! OMIGosh, so fabulous. Right up there with The Women, which is perhaps the best old Hollywood movie for inspiring fashion (IMHO). Of course, I love vintage fashion! ;)

Love that movie! I saw that ad in a magazine this week and absolutely squeeeeeaaaaled at the sight. Little tiny cub chewing - what could possibly be better? Sweet and witty, why can't more advertising manage this?

Ah, what beautiful pictures you chose! Cary Grant is still my dream man.

I saw that ad and thought it was lovely and glamourous as well! I love that film! Was just telling the Punk Glam Princess about it, we need to rent it asap! Also Arsenic and Old Lace, Cary Grant was the best!

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw that spread.
