I realised what it is that has me so uninspired, lately (at least, in part) - Summer! I'm sick of dressing for Summer and longing for Autumn and cool, cloudy days. So, when I saw Shutter Island on Friday it was a refreshing change to see wind and rain and clouds albeit on the movie screen.* My thoughts have also been a bit preoccupied by men's fashion, of late (but not to inspire my own wardrobe - I've just been fantasising about well-dressed men!), and as a film noir loving gal, the trench coats and fedoras in Scorcese's Shutter Island definitely set my heart a-flutter.





I had a difficult time finding places online that sell fedoras - I keep finding trilbies, instead...it seems most people think they're the same thing, these days! Although, I must admit, I'm terribly confused about the whole thing, now and don't know what's what. If anyone has any references on this subject, please do let me know. However, I did find The Fedora Store (again, some of their hats look more like trilbies, as they have smaller brims - I am correct that trilbies generally have the smaller brim, aren't I?) so I shall leave you with a hat from there.

I also discovered the Italian hat company, Borsalino, which is apparently particularly know for its fedoras. Check out their website - their hats are divine.

I would also like to add that Michelle Williams sports a very cute dress in her role. I couldn't find one with a particularly similar print but this one is just as lovely -

*I'd like to add that I actually don't like extreme cold weather, either, but I think we all know the feeling of being sick of a season by the end of it and it makes the opposite kind of weather seem so appealing.
I hope you enjoyed this Silver Screen Sunday on a Tuesday.
Love,

I still haven't seen Shutter Island, but everyone keeps saying that it's excellent! I might go see it next weekend.

I want to see Shutter Island, but it seems a bit scary, and I'm a bit of a coward so I'm gonna wait for it come out on dvd =)
ReplyDeleteI love vintage for gents! But it's very hard to come by, even sewing patterns are very tricky to find. It seems suits and coats were something one bought, not made. So unpractical for us today! ; )
Know what you mean about longing for a change at the end of a long season! The only season that doesn't happen with is summer, simply because it's such a short affair here! (and rather cold as well) Lol!
wasn't Shutter Island wonderful!? i've already seen it twice! you kinda have to though ;o)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing this film, these pics look great.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to see this movie for a while, but I never put together the fact that it was set in another era! That makes me even more excited for it! :D
