Mad Men has to be one of the all-time best shows around. You should throw a mad men themed party with lots of sweet decorations and blog about it :) If anyone can pull it off, it would be you and the RV girls!

I'm also obsessed with Mad Men. I have to say I'm sooo happy my hair has faded to a Joan-red colour!

Not sure if you'll like the music, but if you like Mad Men, you might enjoy this music video of the band Broken Bells.

could the first photo be by Pierre et Gilles? Looks like something they'd do but i can't seem to find it on their website...

couldn't agree with you more about mad men. styled to a tee and the characters are perfection.

I was watching Meduim last night, and I was totally inspired. The episode was her dreaming of a time like this. Thanks,
