We've been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

 A lot of my outfit inspiration for spring has been coming from Scarface, especially from Michelle Pfeiffer's character Elvira. Throughout much of the movie, Elvira wears lots of slip-esque dresses, some in bright and some in neutral colours, perfect for the upcoming spring and summer. The whole look really reflects glamour and excess in a unique way that mixes the mafia with Miami Vice. I for one am certainly a fan of this look. Plus, the film gave me one of my favourites dialogues in cinema;
«You don't got nothing to do with your life. Why don't you get a job? Work with lepers. Blind kids. Anything's gotta be better than lying around all day waiting for me to fuck you.» 
«Don't toot your horn, honey. You're not that good.»

  2. Is it bad that I've never seen this film? On the outfits alone, I think I'd better give it a watch!

  16. the dresses are indeed gorgeous! however, my personal favorite is the white ensemble. especially the hat and the sunnies are so feminine.
    if you're looking forward to seeing the whole outfit post with the faux fur scarf, check my blog tomorrow, 'cause it'll be online then :)

  22. Those dresses are really something else...it's amazing the way they just hang off of Michelle...I'd be afraid of a wardrobe malfunction :) My favourite is the first white one, gorgeous.

  24. It's funny because I've seen Scarface so many times BUT never paid attention to this woman's style. I am so busy paying attention to the plot and the main character that I don't pay attention to her. Although, now that you point her style out...I like it! Very luxurious but simple. Very sexy and a lot of low cut dresses. I love your blog! Thank you for your comment! I really appreciate it!
