Amelia’s Costume Designers Could Fly Away With An Oscar

amelia_scarfaquascutum_scarf

Amelia: Hilary Swank plays the aviatrix with a wanderlust and joie de vivre.  Her impeccable style was sensible and comfortable, yet refined. And Earheart’s signature pilot scarves were practically ubiquitous, serving as a counterpoint to her otherwise masculine sensibilities. This Aquascutum chiffon checked scarf fits the bill, and complements both a sweater or a cropped leather jacket.

amelia_bomberdoma leather bomber jacket

As she set new flying records, raised the bar for other female pilots, and captivated American society, she never forgot her Kansas roots. Amelia lived in a world of men, and mostly dressed the part. Trousers, collared shirts, and of course, the bomber jacket–every pilot’s essential. The Doma Leather Bomber Jacket is a contemporary version of the original.

amelia_hatNordstrom_featherhat

Earhart met with accolades wherever she went. She also had to make nearly constant public appearances to finance flights.  It’s hard to find a lot of 1930s-style hats that aren’t vintage, but this Feather Detail Cloche is a good choice. The nearly brimless style is feminine, and the felt-wool will keep your head warm during chilly receptions.

Overall: Movie: B-  /  Costuming: A

Since Amelia’s style is the clear winner, cop more of her look with the best leather jackets, hats, and celebrity scarves.

Entertaining All-In-One Winter Warmth From Peter Jensen

peter-jensen-1peter-jensen-2

Weird though it may be, we actually think this scarf and gloves combo by eccentric designer, Peter Jensen, is sort of genius. Think about it – it keeps your neck covered and your hands warm, and you’ll never lose a glove. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Jensen’s work, he’s known for his oddball creativity; his collections have featured imitations of Greenland’s traditional clothing, handbags shaped like huge watermelons, and most recently, perhaps in a nod to Mary Kate and Ashley’s fashion forward headgear, bunny ear sunglasses.

Peter Jensen watermelonpeter-jensen-6

I think Jensen may have stolen that bag from my mom at the beach circa 1990, but if it puts you in the mood to prep for next summer now, we prefer fruit tones to actual fruit on our handbags. Try this slightly more elegant Tory Burch tote, and for somewhat more wearable statement headgear, take a look at Marc Jacobs’ giant “Runway” bow headband.

Infinity Scarves: So Much Easier Than That Fancy Parisian Knot

Though I’m fully obsessed with scarves, I’ve always been bad at making mine look just right.  Thankfully, this fall’s tie-free infinity scarves solve this very problem. From chunky knits to looser cottons, these pullover or loop-around scarves create the warm, layered looks I love without any skill involved whatsoever.

1. This knit option from Shopbop ($68) works almost like a muff, but effortlessly creates a chunky wrap-around look .

echo sparkle infinity scarf

2. For a festive look, simply loop Echo’s Sparkle Infinity Ring Scarf ($48) around your neck a few times. This lightly metallic option is ideal for adding a little kick to simple skinny jeans or leggings-based outfit.

bebe jersey chain circle scarf

3. A little lighter and very fashion forward, this Bebe Jersey Chain infinity scarf ($49) is a perfect go-to for spring and fall.

Peruse our celebrity scarves guide for more options to wear with a new leather jacket or trench for fall.

How To: Wear A Summer Scarf Through Fall

We love the beginning of autumn, when it’s too cool to sweat and too warm to wear a jacket.  That’s why keeping the scarf you’ve been wearing on chillier summer nights is always a good idea.  You don’t really want to break out a sweater just yet.

Picture-21

Start with a lighter-colored cotton scarf in plaid – appropriate for fall yet not too wintery.  We like updating the scarf from summer to autumn with booties and slim dark denim, and then adding a white henley.  (A couple of the shirt’s top buttons can be unfastened, so the scarf can sit both on and inside the henley.)  Add a long-strap shoulder bag in a warm fall color, a metallic leather wrap bracelet, and pretty earrings that don’t dangle too much, and you’re good to go.

Tie Dye Is Not Going Away, But At Least We’ve Moved Away From Dad’s T-Shirts

Since I wasn't ever a huge fan of tie dye when it made its third return in the 90s, I was really skeptical when I noticed it coming back on celebs like Victoria Beckham (in Balmain jeans) and Fergie (doing herself, and the trend, no favors in an unflattering pair).

Victoria Beckham in Balmain Tye DyeFergie in Tie Dye

 

However, I'm relieved to see that some designers are using tie dye in more toned down and interesting ways, instead of resorting to bleach and rubber bands in the backyard.

sass & bide Tie Dye Jeans

If you're game to try the denim, this pair of black sass & bide Tye Dye Jeans ($74, was $150)
is a more subtle choice, and still retains the slimming qualities of a skinny fit and basic black.

Aqua Bias Stripe Tie Dye Scarf

This Aqua Bias Stripe Tie Dye Scarf ($48) is colorful and lightweight..and looks enough not like tie dye that it could last you beyond the trend. 

Foley + Corinna Mid City Tote, Dyed

The fold-over design and gorgeous grey leather of this Foley + Corinna Mid City Tote ($444) make the dyed design surpisingly versatile.

Jessica Alba Has Snatched Up The Entire West Coast Shipment Of Tolani Scarves

Apparently Jessica Alba collects more than just drooling male admirers. The red hot mama has what must amount to an entire walk-in closet full of Tolani scarves. She's been photographed in the colorful accessories just about everywhere but on the red carpet, and since we know it's not neck-chillingly cold in L.A., we have to assume these scarves are more style statement than staple.

imageimageimage
Tolani scarves marry cultural tradition with contemporary color schemes, and are affordable enough to start our own collections. Jessica's Zig Zag scarf, which she has in three colors, is only $85. So are the Honeycomb scarf she's sported around L.A., and the Waves scarf she wears when chilling with baby Honor.

But Jessica isn't the only fan of the brand. Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, Leighton Meester, Halle Berry, and Vanessa Minnillo have all been spotted out and about in Tolani, too.
