Funny Fashion Flashback #1

I love watching old movies to find fashion inspiration. The display of glittering gowns and elaborate hats always leaves me with a desire to embellish my wardrobe. Sometimes the trends I enjoy the most, are the ones I find the most bizarre.

I recently watched the original version of The Women (1939) (it was later remade in 2008), and felt inspired by its display of gorgeous fashion. Among some of the most interesting trends were the hats and headpieces, in particular a piece worn by Rosalind Russell's character, Silvia Fowler. When I saw it, I couldn't help but think of the Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 collection which debuted the famous "bunny ears". It turns out this trend was a remake as well.

Extravagant Hair Decor

In a quest for bridal accessories I often come upon some interesting designs. My latest search led me to discover these extravagant and colourful headpieces. At first I thought they would be a little much for a wedding, but the more I stared at them, the more I came to love them. Perhaps my idea of what is appropriate apparel for formal events is a little out of the ordinary, but wouldn't it be fantastic if women started paying as much attention to their hair accessories as their other jewellery?
