Halloween Style Redux II
I will be going to two Halloween parties this year. On Thursday, my daughter and co-blogger Kate, my Tibetan Spaniel Isabella "Izzy" and I will be going to the swank Dog Halloween Costume Party at the Hotel Monaco in Alexandria, Virginia. Alexandria is a very dog friendly city, with most businesses open to dogs with fresh water and treats. All three luxury hotels in Alexandria are dog friendly. Last year there was a huge turnout at the Hotel Monaco with press and celebrity judges and dozens of dogs competing. Here is Izzy last year when she won Most Glamorous Dog-please note the Chanel coat, Chanel flower pin, and Louis Vuitton handbag. This year, Kate, Izzy, and I are all going as Coco Chanel in black and white Chanel inspired outfits. Photos to come of course. Saturday I will be attending a private party. I always like wearing a beautiful black dress and long gloves with a great hat or headband. Here are four great ideas from my collection. A wonderful vintage clock hat-I can go as "Time" or a "Clock." My new Louis Vuitton bunny ears to be a very stylish "Bunny." Two spider hats for a very glamorous "Spider." Click on the photo to enlarge. Which do you like? Any Halloween parties on the horizon for you and what will you wear?

Found Feathers
Did you see see our post yesterday on feathers? Feathers are all over the runways and stores, and here are some feathered treasures I found in my own closet-a boa, headbands, and vintage hats. Click on the pictures for more detail-the colors are so pretty!
Even a feathered pillow on my couch.

Silk Bunny Ears
Do you recall I posted last Friday hoping an Etsy artisan would create their own version of the Marc Jacobs/ Louis Vuitton silk bunny ears? It happened! The fabulous Mary Kaiser of Mary Kaiser Ltd. whose stunning handbags I have posted about here has made her first ever silk bunny ears which I snatched up immediately. Aren't they darling? Made from the prettiest rose silk taffeta. Mary uses the most wonderful fabrics and I'm sure it will be gorgeous. I heard from Mary today on her way to find more wonderful silks to create more bunny ear headbands. I will keep you posted, but keep an eye on her website here and Etsy store here, or email her directly. At $75.00, I am keeping my fingers crossed for a second one in black or turquoise.

Bow Wow
I am a sucker for bows, but not just any bow. My love goes out to cartoonish oversized bows. Minnie Mouse would be excited over the big bow turbans featured at the Diane Von Furstenberg resort 2010 runway show. My mom, Beth of Style Redux, has more confidence than I do when it comes to donning wonderful hat and hair accessories. She does it with the greatest of ease. You've all seen her hat collection. Maybe if hair accessories became more of an everyday trend like ripped boyfriend jeans then I'd sport huge hair bows left and right. Headband sales have soared thanks in large part to Upper East Side's Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl, but people still need time to warm up to the idea of bigger accessories. At least I'm hoping. You may agree that these bows look darling on the runway, but wonder if you'd ever step out into the world wearing one...
Aside from a fancy soiree or party, where else can you don such a fantastic accessory? I'd love to someday spot a woman walking around Georgetown with a big black bow atop her head. Her hair would be pulled back and she'd wear black oval rimmed sunglasses. She completely owns her look and doesn't see the point in holding back. Her confidence is alluring. This is how trends catch on. You see someone on the street, in a restaurant, on a blog with a refreshing and unique look. Suddenly you're intrigued by a new fashion trend, perhaps one you never imagined yourself being drawn to.
With a little bit of investigating I've found a few delectable headbands that are-- a. oversized, b. amazing!, and c. affordable. But first, take a peek at some pretty looks from DVF's latest show.

Visit Hopelessly Devoted at etsy. This bow is made from Dupion silk and comes in a variety of colors. Tres chic!
