I read this morning that Banana Republic has just released a 65 piece Mad Men collection. Swoon-o-rama! Just when I thought I had officially recovered from Mad Men fever and had learnt to cope without it for a year, Banana Republic re-kindles my undying love for that show and now I am pining for it like a circa 1975 school girl pined for *Leif Garrett.
I think these designs are a successful 21st Century adaption of the show's ravishing 1960s period clothes.
Meanwhile, here are some stills from the real thing just in case you forgot what you were missing. *wistful sigh*
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend - many thanks for all the lovely cheery comments and for visiting my blog this week! XO

* Leif Garrett was the Justin Bieber of the 1970s.
I've just gotten re-hooked on mad men again too :) I love the BR collection but I wish they had some classic Betty Draper-style dresses! I love her wardrobe the most!

Oh yes! You're so right Kate - I love Betty's day dresses. The big full skirts and the fabrics are gorgeous! She also has some lovely pieces she wears in the evenings - these all seem very Joan inspired, don't they?

I have no idea what mad men is but it looks good. I do however remember Leif Garret!

High five Sarah! :0) Leif was actually a bit before my time but I remember girls in the years above me at school fainting at the very mention of his name!

I thought I'd come to terms with the Mad Men absence, but these images have reignited my longing for new episodes. Sigh...
