Mad Men Finale Countdown

We are huge fans of Mad Men, making April 5th's premiere bittersweet.  We are sad to say good bye to Don, Betty, Peggy, Roger, Joan, and Pete, along with their families and colleagues.  Here's a round up of some of our favorite Mad Men links from this week's countdown.

Can't Wait For: The Final Episodes of Mad Men

The second half of Mad Men's final season doesn't air until April 5th, but AMC has released several images to get us excited...  Megan is featured, which might be a surprise, and all of the cast members have definitely moved into a new era in fashion.  We love Betty's soft maxi dress, and Don looks dapper as always... Megan and Sally's ensembles, however, aren't our favorite looks from the time - the baby doll dress and aggressive crop top are best left in the past.  Pete, Peggy, Roger, and Joan are all looking sharp and stylish.  We can't wait to see how the rest of the characters have evolved, what other fashion costume designer Janie Bryant has come up with, and how creator Matthew Weiner will end the series.

Can't Wait For: Mad Men Season 7

One of our very favorite shows, Mad Men, returns to AMC on Sunday, April 13th, for the first part of its seventh and final season.  These photographs were just released to promote it, and it appears the fashion and sets are moving on from the mod looks of the mid-1960s to the more psychedelic styles of the late 1960s.  We can't wait to see more of the fashion and set design, but we are especially interested in the ways the characters develop in the last season, and how creator Matthew Weiner resolves (or doesn't resolve) things for Don Draper, his associates, and his family.
