It was forever ago since the last time I had a sleepover with friends. We would watch movies, order pizza and played games such as Cards Against Humanity and Just Dance on the Wii. Now that I'm older, I thought would be a cute idea to have a glam sleepover (technically a pamper night in by myself due to Covid 19) inspired by Old Hollywood Regency style from the 1940s and 1950s. Think of wearing silk robes, delicate chemises and fancy slippers while eating chocolate covered strawberries and doing your skincare routine in your boudoir.
The idea came from LoveShackFancy's recent collaboration with luxury pajamas brand, Morgan Lane last month. It was also inspired by Old Hollywood Glamour, specifically with Jayne Mansfield's famous Pink Palace.
Below is a collage that features pretty essentials for any girly sleepover that Elizabeth Taylor, Marylin Monroe, Cyd Charisse, Audrey Hepburn and others alike would approve. There is also a list of some classic movie suggestions to watch to feel like a starlet.

Once you're all dolled up, bring out some champagne, pop some popcorn and watch one of these classic Hollywood movies while you put on a face mask:
Paris Blues 1961 (really want to see it Diahann Carroll is in it!)
Sabrina 1954 (also want to watch LOOK AT HER GIVENCHY DRESS)
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes 1953 (this too)
Silk Stockings 1957
The Swan 1956
Gilda 1946
Funny Girl 1968
Father of the Bride 1950
No matter what you decide to wear or watch, please take time out to pamper yourself sometimes. You deserve it. XOXO
