period piece...

I have been into watching drama's lately & recently I sat down to watch the 2008 film The Duchess, featuring Keira Knightly. I am pretty fond of Keira as it is so I thoroughly enjoyed her playing the 18th-century Duchess of Devonshire. I loved the film & I was completely enthralled with the dramatic costumes. Keira donned amazing hair pieces, completely stunning hats & intricately detailed & beautiful gowns. 


Dressing in the 18th century does look like it takes a lot of work - but damn do those ladies look fabulous! 


Enjoy some of my favorite Duchess looks below...

Throw it in your Netflix queue - you won't be disappointed!

my modern vintage icon

Oh Zooey Deschanel...I have the biggest girl crush on you. Also, I want to steal ALL of your clothes.

Zooey is my modern vintage icon. In real life, she dresses like an absolute doll & got to wear the BEST vintage inspired wardrobe for her film 500 Days of Summer.

And if you haven't already you must check out her band She & Him, featuring M. Ward (who has quite the impressive vintage style himself). Even Zooey's voice has a vintage quality. Take a look & listen for yourself...

I know. Adorable!
