<h3>style spotlight: elizabeth taylor.</h3>

     i thought today would be the perfect time to have elizabeth taylor as the muse for my 'style spotlight.'  i still remember the first time i saw national velvet and how enamored i was with her grace and beauty.  today, we saw the passing of the last female hollywood icon and i can think of no one who could replace her.
     i've always been especially taken with the photos of a young elizabeth playing at the beach or by the pool.  i love the simplicity of her style and her obvious self confidence.  these past two summer seasons have shown lots of retro-inspired swimwear, and it is clear this summer will be no different.  i think we could all use a bit of elizabeth's beach body confidence and here are a few of my favorite elizabeth-inspired bathing suits: here, here, here and here.
