Mexican and silent film actress Dolores Del Rio was considered to be one of the most beautiful and desired women during the Golden Age of Hollywood. To be honest I have never heard of her until the other day when I was up late watching old, black and white movies and her film I Live For Love came on. I was mesmerized by her unique style and ‘Art Deco beauty’. Just look at these elaborate headpieces she wore for roles and photo shoots. Absolutely amazing!!!!

Elaborate Beaded Headpieces? Yes please!

Instead of wearing those long strands of pearls, shells or beads around your neck may I suggest wearing them on your head??? I say the bigger the better! Take inspiration from beautiful traditional beaded headdresses or from unique, modern sculptural pieces. I’m going to go play with my big pile of costume jewellery and see what I come up with.

More Cloche!

Who doesn’t love the look of a fabulous cloche hat??? They are classic yet modern and they make me want to get a bobbed hair cut and prance around in my drop-waist beaded flapper gown and throw on my pearls. For years I’ve been searching for a good quality vintage cloche but none have caught my eye nor been nice to my wallet so I’ve been gathering various photos for some inspiration in hopes to make a few of my own.

A few weeks ago, on one of my daily scrolls through Etsy.com I stumbled across Yellow Field 7’s shop of amazing cloche hats and Ooooh’d and Aaaaah’d my way through the entire collection. Bosnian born designer Behida Dolic’s hand draped and embellished one of a kind vintage inspired designs are some of the most unique and beautiful hats I’ve seen and have really given me some creative encouragement for my own future pieces.

Toronto based photographer Steve Carty used my feather headpieces in a beauty shoot that was featured in Naked Eye Magazine. The photos of my work are under his Beauty category, but while you’re there you must check out his portraits. They are particularly stunning!
