By special request, I am focusing this week's Manic Monday on the film genre 'Film Noir.' These glamorous, Hollywood crime dramas brought adventure and excitement to the film screens in the 20's-70's and is still greatly appreciated and recreated today. I have always enjoyed film noir for it's creative lighting, alternative angle shots, as well as the fashion standard it's created.

Capes, caplets or cute gloves are going to make this look. It's that extra edge that will add drama and glamor to the look.
