when i’m in the middle of a dream, stay in bed, float up stream

This past week has been one of those terrible, long drawn-out weeks with a seemingly never-ending list of to-do's. All I want to do for the rest of the weekend is lay in my bed, eat bits of English toffee, read my stack of untouched glossies (Vogue US - I've only briefly checked out the pepto-pink Gaga but I love it already, Lucky, Marie Claire, Nylon, Elle, and Glamour) and sleep, sleep, sleep! 

What are your plans (for this week/weekend/life)? I'm sure infinitely more exciting than mine!

The everlasting lovely Marilyn Monroe

How cozy does Kirsten Dunst look as the young dauphine Marie Antoinette, with her Austrian pup Mops? 

One of my favorite actresses, Natalie Wood, in one of my favorite of her films Splendor in the Grass

Penelope Tree in a perfectly floral boudoir

The Indian transformation of the attic in A Little Princess completely transformed my ideas about magic, imagination, and what I wanted to decorate my bedroom to look like

Mia Farrow looks surprisingly well-rested as the photographer mistress of a Russian counter-espionage agent in A Dandy in Aspic

 
I wish I could be served breakfast in bed and write my correspondences while wearing a fabulously furry robe

Scarlett Johansson perfectly channels the airy, light, dreamy beauty of Sofia Coppola's creations, as done in Lost in Translation

Anita Pallenberg and onscreen love interest Mick Jagger snooze the day away in Performance

Real-life lovers Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg cozy up onscreen (but Jane - watch his arm!)

Brigitte Bardot lounges in the gorgeous Italian setting of Le Mépris 

Daria Werbowy, Kate Moss, and Lara Stone all cuddle up under the covers

In Secret Ceremony, Mia Farrow clutches onto her would-be mama Elizabeth Taylor

I love how artfully arranged Marianne's hair looks on that pillow in Motorcycle 
(What, don't you guys wake up in the morning looking like this, too?) 

All that modeling can tire a girl out! Twiggy catches up on her rest (but still keeps those fantastic false lashes!) 

Eva Green is all tuckered out in The Dreamers

Title: from "I'm Only Sleeping" (The Beatles)
