Retro Looks In The Modern World: Lady Sings The Blues

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time. Here we explore Retro Looks in the Modern World.

I absolutely LOVE DSquared2's Pre-Fall 2013 collection. I want all of these very wearable and relatable looks. Inspired from menswear from the Harlem Renaissance it is near perfection! Bravo!

My Projects: Dinosaur and Jacques Cousteau Hats

The Dinosaur Hats for two of my nephews are finished! Just in time for Christmas!

I crocheted the spikes. This was my first time knitting on circulars. My ribbing is not the best, but I'm still pretty happy with them! 

And here's a WIP of a grey tweed ribbed Jacques Cousteau style toque for my husband. He's going to look adorable in it! 

For pattern and yarn info follow me on Ravelry or leave a question in the comments and I will answer!

My new Guerlain lipstick! The case is a pop up mirror. So James Bond and the shade, Genna, is a perfect red! Guerlain made the first bullet tube of lipstick. They have not stopped innovating! 

Oooh La La! My new Gossard Corselette!  You may remember me gushing over vintage Gossard corsets here.

And then here's my evolution of naturally straight hair to vintage curls: 

1. The wet-set is in place. I wear these all day and to bed! 

2. The next morning- pre brush out.

3. Ready to go to work!

Style Icon: Flapper Joan Crawford

Joan Crawford was destined and determined to be a star. To get herself noticed she became a Flapper along the likes of Clara Bow. She was signed to MGM in 1925 and started her career in silent movies. I love the Joan Crawford of the 1920's and 1930's. When we think of Joan Crawford, we think of a severe glamour of the 1940's, we think of Mommie Dearest. In her early career she was spirited, relaxed and very stylish!

A young Crawford with a blonde bob! 

Pencil thin brows. So glamorous! 

A quintessential Flapper! 

Those eyes! 

Even glamorous in relaxed American sportswear.
