Flapper
Timeless Sibling Themes For Halloween: Roaring 20s
These fabulous flapper costumes will have your kiddos doing the Charleston! Any girl who likes to glam up will go ga ga over the chance to pin curl her hair and wear the pearls, feathers and fringe that were the signature sassy style during the very social and artistic period of American history. Get your lil guy in on the roaring 20s garb by making him a bootleg bartender.
Trend Alert: Flapper Fringe
Just when you think fringe has peaked its potential, designers come out with a thinner winner. Flapper fringe gives off a jazzy vibe, unlike its thicker, more bohemian sister. I actually own a black La Rok top similar to this 3.1 Phillip Lim Fringed Boat Neck Tunic ($695).
amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS: Diane Kruger
I oft talk about my love of the '20s flapper era and Diane is the epitome of that time at the amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival. From her sleek hair down to her shoes, she's perfection in my eyes. The whisper sequins and train are such lovely details.
Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Roberto Cavalli
A few feather-clad pieces in this Spring collection were very Roberto Cavalli, but surprisingly, the majority were not. I'm glad to see Cavalli expanding his repertoire to include sweet gals, not just wild things. For the latter, the feather trench coats, vests and pants will satiate their sassy appetite.
Trend Alert: The Great Gatsby
Here is my ode to The Great Gatsby. Fashion is experiencing a throwback to the times of art deco, pleats, beading, speak-easies, and the Belle Epoque. Legendary designer Paul Poiret has been referenced and you can see his dropped hemline and flapper hats in a major way in the Proenza Schouler Fall 2007 collection.
2010 Independent Spirit Awards: Mena Suvari
Mena Suvari channeled her inner flapper tonight in a petaled LBD and velvet hat. For adornments, the actress donned a statement ring, black clutch, and cobalt satin pumps embellished with big black baubles. Do you like it?
Love It or Hate It: Fergie's Modern Flapper Hairstyle
On Wednesday, Fergie and her handsome husband attended a Vanity Fair party at LA's famed Chateau Marmont. There was something different about the newlywed that I just can't quite grasp. Perhaps it's a just-been-married glow or maybe it's simply that the normally bronze-faced singer is sporting a paler complexion.
Battle of The Hills Costumes: Flirty Flapper vs. Little Red Riding Hood
The Halloween fun does not stop for me when the Fab holiday is over. Au contraire. Last year we had Lauren and then-BF Audrina battle out their costumes.

2010 Grammy Awards: Ke$ha
Hot new singing sensation Ke$ha stepped onto her first Grammy red carpet wearing a gold, flapper-inspired fringe frock. Platform sandals, long earrings, and a gold clutch complete her sexy look. Is this a success?
