Cloche…
I’m really loving this style right now. 
Like I promised, I have been reading Elegance as I mentioned in this blog post. It is quite beautiful and I love seeing the styles change depending on whats happening in the country. My favorite style so far is the 20′s and out of the 20′s my most favorite thing is the cloche hat style. This style was invented by Caroline Reboux, who made all the hot hats for all the hot people. She was a self made woman who, like Chanel, grew up in an impoverished environment. The cloches that I have seen for sale these days are hideous things that look like fisherman hats – not elegant at all. If I can’t find one that I like I might have to try my hand at millinery and make my own! I’ll keep you updated!

Oh I agree, I love the fashion of the 20′s as well. There was a decadence and riskiness to the style that was not seen for many decades afterward. Many of the dresses were scandalous for the time – and even by today’s standards some of those hemlines are high! – but they all had a certain class and grace that is lacking in a lot of today’s fashion.
