Steampunk Marilyn Monroe

I stumbled across this old picture of Marilyn Monroe the other day. I think it has a very steampunk feel to it. Fabulous hat! Wouldn't mind owning a bike like that either.

The Blue Lady with the Parasol

It is a bit steampunk and petticoat at the same time. I love the pearls, the hat and the parasol. The dark lipstick is just perfect and the dress has great detailing.

A cup of tea for the lady

Great hat. I'd love to go out dressed like this. The ensemble has a very vintage feel to it.

Painting: Regency Goodbye

A great portrait of life in Regency England. I adore her hat and coat. There is an expression of sadness in her face. The gentleman is clearly a dandy. Perhaps his courtship is unwanted?

Fabulous steampunk lady

This steampunk lady is fierce and fabulous! Just love the hat and jacket/blouse. A very classy look.

20th and 19th century hats

I love Friday evenings. You have the promise of the weekend, a nice lay-in and some me time. My me time usually occurs on Sunday evenings and consists of watching some silly TV series while sipping tea. Then again, I do that most weekdays as well. Lucky me!

With period drama, the focus usually lies on the dresses but for today, I would like to let the hats enjoy some much deserved attention. Victorian hats especially as shown in the first picture are a great favourite of mine. They ooze sophistication.
