The Neely Bags by Mulberry

It might be named after Neely O'Hara from Valley of the Dolls, but this is definitely a bag La Susann would carry herself.  The just-released Mulberry 'Neely Tote' in Camel Haircalf Leather is, according to the iconic English luxury leather goods house, "poised to become one of our treasured styles." Michelle Trachtenberg, Miley Cyrus, and Blake Lively are just some of the celebs who have been spotted carrying the Neely recently. Check out the other colors and styles, plus the Neely Blouse, Jacket, Dress, and Top—perfect compliments to any Dolls' wardrobe— here on Mulberry's Online Shop.

Judy Garland Screen Test


Susan Hayward nabbed the role of Helen Lawson in the movie version of Valley of the Dolls, but few people know that Bette Davis and Judy Garland were vying for it. Garland got the part, and this wardrobe test offers a peek into some of the extravagant clothes made for the Lawson role (that white gown!), and drops a few hints about why she was fired in the end...
Look at the video here: YouTube.
Thanks MicheleBell1 for posting!
