Rita Hayworth! You're back!

Think Gamma Phones, Sailors, smoking, Crooners, and “The War is Over” (yayyyy pash a sailor!)

I love this era, and I love love that it is making one hell of a comeback... though most people have not taken notice yet! Goodbye grunge and hello little Lady!

40s inspired looks out on the market:

Silks and satins
The resurgence of gloves (leather, lace, etc)
Hairpieces and headbands, particularly art-deco style with embellishments (ala Gossip Girl) like diamantes, feathers and jewels
Pencil skirts
Covering up with cap sleeves and longer lengths
Trench coats and structured jackets
Mary jane and stacked heels
Lace and lingerie (think WW2 Pin up girls and Dita Von Teese)
Capes and furs

Designers reflecting the 1940s glow: Woodford & Co, Country Road, Lucette, Natasha, Camilla & Marc, Zimmermann and Lisa Ho

I am buying up big on this trend, as it is classic, ladylike and luxxxxeeee

Kill the Wabbbittt

I desperately want this stunning Natasha Rabbit Fur Jacket (in the cappucino colourway) from Hoss (RRP $695)

And the cost is not the thing that is deterring me. I feel bad for the poor wabbits. Now don't get me wrong, I eat meat like it's going out of fashion-- but the touch of this luxurious coat reminds me of my poor late blind albino bunny, Fumper and I just do not know if I can do it or not.

My morals usually never get in the way of fashion (I would probably bite you if you picked up the last pair of CL’s on sale in my size) but I think I just may have to leave this one on the shelf... being all stunning and awesome!
