HOLLYWOOD GOES BATTY FOR HATS: In case you haven’t seen the movie, Cinderella Man you might have missed the use of Art Deco pins in the front of retro-styled stingy brimmed fedoras. Female lead Renee Zellweger wore many elegant hats from the depression era. Because of the return to retro styling in apparel, shoes and headwear, this deco jewelry accent over a ribbon hat band is a wonderful way to accent simple fedoras. Also in the movie were other cloche and fine weave retro hats.

Katie Holmes Goes Modern but Lady-Like

SIMPLICITY REIGNS: Watch out for more innocent lady-like fashions because first lady (Tom Cruise’s new fiancée) Katie Holmes is about to become a style icon. This innocent looking girl next door wears simple floral print dresses and jumpers reminiscent of the simple 70’s. And if anyone deserves notice and notoriety, it’s Holmes. This return to innocence, in a fashion sense, is long overdue (thank you Paris Hilton).
