These quirky fashion photos from Norman Parkinson are making me smile while laying in bed today. I’ve being hanging out with some Game of Thrones on demand (how good is this show people!?) trying to cure some sort of sore throat / sickness and it’s got me down…but how can you be down when looking at these? A blast from the past always has me.

Here’s a little about Norman from his biography: “Norman Parkinson, one of the twentieth centuries best known British fashion photographers, was active for over 50 years.  He was instrumental in taking portrait and fashion photography beyond the stiff formality of his predecessors and injecting an easy and casual elegance into his images.  His photographs of celebrities, artists, actors and the British Royal Family are known throughout the world and have become icons of twentieth century style.”

I want to be in every one of these outfits. Just saying.

PS, does anyone have any sore throat cures? This one is killer!
