When Are Face Nets Coming Back In Style?

Some associate this look with British royalty and others with brides. I, however, see it as a fashion statement that needs to be revived immediately.

Let me begin by saying that I'm a hat girl through and through. I love a great headpiece to decorate your er...head. From girly bows to chic headbands, even a good hairpiece sparks my attention. My question is:

Why is it so underrated?

A look best kept for special occasions, the "hair net veil" is ideal for the current wedding season. It offers a look of mystery and old school elegance that's lacking in today's society. With the rebirth of period dramas in recent years, it's a wonder that this look hasn't yet reached the masses. Though we are currently in the midst of a 70s revival featuring bell bottoms and maxi dresses, fashion tends to look back and with each passing year, we become nostalgic for one that's further and further away from where we are.

This particular trend takes us back to the 1920s flapper girl cloche hats that invited one to add an air of mystery. It's sexy in an understated way with a hint of flirtation hidden beneath it.

Can the face net veil (whatever it's really called) ever return? If it does, will it become the hottest new wedding look? Or can it make its way onto the streets and replace the wide brim hat?

If Beyonce can do it, why can't you?

#IconCity: Don't You Wish This Kate Was Your Mom?

It's official. Kate Beckinsale and Victoria Beckham need to form a best-dressed Hollywood moms club. If I could choose outfits from any celebrity wardrobe, it would probably be Kate's or Victoria's. Kate Beckinsale is not only the coolest momma of the year, but also an amazing actress. She gets points merely for being British and playing Douglas Quaid's bad-ass wife in Total Recall. This woman is ALWAYS on a best-dressed list of some sort because of her inability to pick something that doesn't look beyond incredible on her gorgeous bod.

Here are some of her best looks:

LOOK 2

This skintight black and white Antonio Berardi dress was one of her best and most flattering choices. How much do you envy that body?

Is there a colour Kate can't pull off? If she can wear head-to-toe fuchsia, probably not. This DVF jumpsuit is definitely on our wishlists.

Does your mom look this cool when she buys her groceries? In stilettos, no less.

This silver Zuhair Murad was one of my favourite evening looks on Kate. What do you think of this choice?

Which look is your favourite? Do you love Kate's style as much as I do?

Have a good weekend!

#IconCity: Hermione No Longer

Due to unforeseen circumstances in the form of a J.Mendel jumpsuit, Emma Watson has wormed her way into IconCity. From nerdy school girl Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, to an edgy hipster named Sam in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and finally, bad girl Nicki in The Bling Ring, Emma has come a long way. Transforming her childhood image, this brit has reinvented herself with her enviable style, quick wit, and versatile film roles. Let's not forget that she took a break from her hectic career to return to Brown and study literature. Smart and stylish? Now that's an icon if I ever saw one. Here are some Emma's best looks.

LOOK 1

Not only did she model for Burberry, but she sported this gorgeous Burberry trench with her bold pixie cut in 2011. And we can't ignore the lace-up boots and abundance of studs. Hermione Granger? I think not.

LOOK 2

Watson rocked these black and gold wedges on Letterman and we all fell in love. Burberry, obviously.

This Brit has the fashion world wrapped around her finger. And her head-to-toe denim look on the new April 2014 Elle cover is divine. What's your favourite Emma look?

Have A Lovely Weekend!
