Hey Sailor!’s Beatrice Leopard Pillbox Hat

In this modern age there are amazing hat designers like Kat Toronto of Hey Sailor!, who channel the golden age of Hollywood.  The Beatrice Leopard Pillbox Hat is a personal favorite as it’s smaller than a traditional pillbox and the cage veil gives the hat a femme fatal feel. Ladies adorning their tresses with hats may seem like forgotten styles of by gone eras, but women like Kat are bringing the glamour back!

Tripp NYC’s Natural Cheetah Jungle Dress

Tripp NYC has really impressed me with this hot little Natural Cheetah Jungle Dress. The strapless sweetheart design will hug your curves in all the right places, and it has boning in the bust to keep those puppies locked and loaded! The cheetah fabric has a nice sateen finish that will look killer with a pair of black patent leather heels. If you’re feeling extra saucy, wear some nude back seamed stockings, and red lipstick for a modern retro appeal.

Plasticland’s Sparkling Art Deco Drop Earrings

When I saw these earrings my first thought was, “gimme, gimme, gimme!”  The Sparkling Art Deco Drop Earrings from Plasticland are a steal at the $18 price point, making these a great gift idea.  The “diamonds” are so wonderfully sparkly and would be an awesome accessory to wear for the holidays or save them to wear with your New Year’s Eve cocktail dress.  These earrings make a statement with all that bling, yet are still very sophisticated with the art deco inspired design.
