BANDit

Christy Turlington - VOGUE 1990

I recently did a make-up trial which was featured here on the BLOG. I wore a 90-esque thick headband to pull my hair back and feature my face and the makeup. I was not sure if it felt chic again or if I looked like I was about t wash my face, until I saw the black and white image.

I realized I was totally channeling Lady Miss Kier of Deee Lite and it brought me back to the 1990's when being a BANDit was still SO CHIC. I was so influenced during the 1990's when designers did their spin on the 1960's and THIS was one of the key looks/accessories.

I am ready to personally become a full time BANDit again and bring this look back. I think it has waited long enough.

Would you rock a thick headband? do a 2013 twist on a 90's does 60's look? You could cover 3 decades with one accessory. Why not?

The Mullet Dress: Do or Don't?

A not-so new trend on the red carpet is what critics have dubbed a "Mullet Dress". You know short in the front, party in the back. I am at a loss trying to track down the technical term for this silhouette so Mullet Dress it is.

I have to admit I did LOVE CHANEL's 1990's Haute Couture version of the MD.

What about wearing a mullet dress to a cocktail party, wedding or special event?

For me it is a Fashion DO! 

It is a very dramatic and romantic silhouette. If you have the legs, this is a fabulous way to show them.

Could you wear it?
