This is a cute and stylin’ 1940s sailor hat to crochet. It looks more like a fascinator hat to me, and is uniquely indicative of World War II fashion. ~Marilyn

Jean Shrimpton Cover Girl Vogue April 1963
I am 99.9% positive that this is model Jean Shrimpton on the cover of Vogue magazine.

Vintage 80s Valentino Panther/Leopard Print Collection
Leopard print – or Panther pattern, as described here – has always been in fashion. Valentino Boutiques featured these tawny neutrals with playful animal themes in a 1987 collection. In luxurious cashmere and suede, they personified the over-the-top 80s style. MEOW! ~Marilyn

This was a stretch, as no shoes in history were as monstrous as 1973 shoes! Certainly not 1920s Flapper shoes, which… Read more »
