Eyes Of Violet

Elizabeth Taylor has been one of my favorite actresses since I was a little girl. I remember being super small and watching National Velvet, wishing I looked like Elizabeth. Back then there was still some hope that I would grow to be as stunningly gorgeous as she was/is. No such luck, lol! Though I do pretend and quite often have Elizabeth's face as my profile picture on facebook, hehe. Anyway I came across these rare images of Elizabeth on tumblr and I think they're so lovely and inspiring. I hope you do too!






All images from my tumblr

What a babe, huh?!
Have a wonderful weekend you pretty things!

My god, she's so PRETTY. Everytime I see a picture of her, I'm just in awe. And I loved National Velvet as a kid, too. :)

What cool pictures! She's not necessarily my fave actress, but I think Liz Taylor is one of THE most beautiful women ever. I still love National Velvet! Her equestrian outfits are kind of great.

Sent you an email, btw : )

She is stunning, isn't she. I love the first photo of her between the dogs and the one sitting on the diving board. Thanks for sharing these!

Very pretty - great choice of pictures!

I can't agree more. I am a huge fan! One of best compliments I ever received was saying I resembled a young Liz Taylor (when my hair was much darker).

Wow! I never saw her before what she looks like now and I still thought she was pretty!

Haha, you are so silly! Of course she is beautiful but you are too. Thanks for the stunning images of Ms. Taylor, I always love looking through older photos. Keep 'em coming!

I've definitely not seen enough of her films! Though, I LOVED the TV biopic, starring Sherilyn Fenn, when I was little. Haha. Anyway, she IS gorgeous (and so are you ;]) - she just has THE most perfect face.

I love her! She was soooo pretty! You know when I was little I used to have violet eyes, but alas, not anymore.

Oh!!! These are so lovely--I can never tire of Liz-spam. ;) lol. I watched National Velvet as a girl, but I don't think it was until I saw "Father of the Bride" that I really fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor. She just had a really stunning beauty and air about her... Although I have to say I think my favorite movie of her's is "Taming of the Shrew"... haha!

Quincy! This is who you look like! Seriously. When we were chowing down on those sweet potato pancakes the other week, I kept thinking to myself, "Who does Quincy look like that I know." It's Liz Taylor and anyone that I really know at all!
